About AIF360

AIF360 is an open-source library, available in Python and R, for detecting and mitigating bias in machine learning models and datasets. It is intended for use across the AI application lifecycle. The package includes metrics for testing datasets and models for bias, explanations for those metrics, and algorithms for reducing bias in datasets and models. The project states that it is designed to move algorithmic fairness research into practice in areas such as finance, human capital management, healthcare, and education.

The Python package is installed with pip from PyPI or within a conda environment. The project lists supported Python versions 3.10 to 3.13 on macOS, Ubuntu, and Windows. It requires specific versions of many Python packages, which may conflict with other projects, so the project recommends a virtual environment. The source states that the library is still in development. It also notes that the number of available metrics and algorithms can make it hard to choose the right one for a given use case, and it links to guidance material for that choice.

Key features

  • Group fairness metrics based on selection rates and error rates
  • Sample distortion metrics for datasets
  • Generalized Entropy Index and differential fairness metrics
  • Bias scan using multi-dimensional subset scan
  • Fifteen listed bias mitigation algorithms for datasets and models
  • Designed for extension with new metrics, explainers, and debiasing algorithms
Best for: Data scientists and researchers who need to test machine learning models and datasets for bias and apply mitigation methods in Python or R.
