A Causal Framework for Mitigating Data Shifts in Healthcare
Kurt Butler, Stephanie Riley, Damian Machlanski +13
Developing predictive models that perform reliably across diverse patient populations and heterogeneous environments is a core aim of medical research. However, generalization is o…
A Primer on Causal and Statistical Dataset Biases for Fair and Robust Image Analysis
Charles Jones, Ben Glocker
Machine learning methods often fail when deployed in the real world. Worse still, they fail in high-stakes situations and across socially sensitive lines. These issues have a chill…
Subgroups Matter for Robust Bias Mitigation
Anissa Alloula, Charles Jones, Ben Glocker +1
Despite the constant development of new bias mitigation methods for machine learning, no method consistently succeeds, and a fundamental question remains unanswered: when and why d…
Rethinking Fair Representation Learning for Performance-Sensitive Tasks
Charles Jones, Fabio de Sousa Ribeiro, Mélanie Roschewitz +2
We investigate the prominent class of fair representation learning methods for bias mitigation. Using causal reasoning to define and formalise different sources of dataset bias, we…
