Fair Logistic Regression: An Adversarial Perspective
share
Fair prediction methods have primarily been built around existing classification techniques using pre-processing methods, post-hoc adjustments, reduction-based constructions, or deep learning procedures. We investigate a new approach to fair data-driven decision making by designing predictors with fairness requirements integrated into their core formulations. We augment a game-theoretic construction of the logistic regression model with fairness constraints, producing a novel prediction model that robustly and fairly minimizes the logarithmic loss. We demonstrate the advantages of our approach on a range of benchmark datasets for fairness.
