The Performance and Fairness tab of the What-If Tool provides users with a powerful set of tools to analyze and investigate the performance and fairness of their machine learning models. This tab offers a comprehensive suite of features that enable users to gain insights into the behavior and impact of their models, helping them make informed decisions and improve the overall performance and fairness of their AI systems.
One of the key functionalities of the Performance and Fairness tab is the ability to analyze and visualize the performance of a model across different subsets of data. Users can select specific groups or slices of data based on various attributes and examine how the model performs on each subset. This allows users to identify any disparities or biases in model predictions across different groups, such as gender, age, or race. By visualizing the performance metrics, such as accuracy or precision, for each subgroup, users can gain a deeper understanding of how their model is performing and whether there are any potential fairness issues.
Furthermore, the Performance and Fairness tab provides users with the capability to investigate the fairness of their models using fairness metrics and fairness-inducing constraints. Fairness metrics, such as disparate impact or equal opportunity, can be computed and visualized to assess the fairness of model predictions across different groups. Users can also experiment with fairness-inducing constraints to mitigate any observed biases and achieve fairer outcomes. The What-If Tool allows users to iteratively adjust these constraints and observe the impact on fairness metrics, empowering them to make informed decisions about trade-offs between fairness and performance.
Another valuable feature of the Performance and Fairness tab is the ability to perform counterfactual analysis. Users can input specific feature values and observe the resulting model predictions. This allows users to understand how changes in input features affect the model's behavior and predictions. By exploring counterfactual scenarios, users can gain insights into potential biases or unintended consequences of their models, helping them identify areas for improvement and ensure fair and reliable predictions.
The Performance and Fairness tab of the What-If Tool provides users with a range of powerful capabilities to analyze and investigate the performance and fairness of their machine learning models. By visualizing performance metrics, assessing fairness using various metrics and constraints, and conducting counterfactual analysis, users can gain valuable insights into their models' behavior and make informed decisions to improve fairness and performance.
