动态调整公平性目标,让模型训练更公平高效。

Fairness-aware Multiobjective Evolutionary Learning

  • 训练中动态选择公平性指标作为优化目标
  • 在12个数据集上同时提升准确率与25项公平性指标
  • 无需预先设定指标集,适合复杂场景下的公平学习

多目标进化学习(MOEL)在兼顾准确率与多种公平性度量的冲突目标方面展现出优势。现有方法通常在训练前预设一组代表性公平性指标作为优化目标,但该过程依赖数据集特性、先验知识且计算成本高,且不同训练过程中的最优指标集可能不同。为此,本文提出在训练过程中在线动态自适应确定代表性指标集,使优化目标随时间变化。在12个知名基准数据集上的大量实验表明,该框架在仅使用少数动态选定的目标时,仍显著优于现有最先进方法,在准确率及25项公平性度量上均表现优异。结果表明,训练过程中动态设置优化目标至关重要。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Multiobjective evolutionary learning (MOEL) has demonstrated its advantages of training fairer machine learning models considering a predefined set of conflicting objectives, including accuracy and different fairness measures. Recent works propose to construct a representative subset of fairness measures as optimisation objectives of MOEL throughout model training. However, the determination of a representative measure set relies on dataset, prior knowledge and requires substantial computational costs. What's more, those representative measures may differ across different model training processes. Instead of using a static predefined set determined before model training, this paper proposes to dynamically and adaptively determine a representative measure set online during model training. The dynamically determined representative set is then used as optimising objectives of the MOEL framework and can vary with time. Extensive experimental results on 12 well-known benchmark datasets demonstrate that our proposed framework achieves outstanding performance compared to state-of-the-art approaches for mitigating unfairness in terms of accuracy as well as 25 fairness measures although only a few of them were dynamically selected and used as optimisation objectives. The results indicate the importance of setting optimisation objectives dynamically during training.
