Overview

This work characterizes individual fairness, proposing a framework for assessing unfairness in classifiers.

Key Points

  • Failure to achieve individual fairness indicates measurable unfairness and guides improvement efforts.
  • A framework introduces a directional aspect to unfairness, enhancing comparisons between classifiers.
  • The adapted score-based measures help assess harm distribution among population subgroups more effectively.
  • Retaining individual harm evidence allows for algorithmic recourse, linking fairness with legal standards.
