Fairness via Representation Neutralization

PyTorch code for the Neurips 2021 paper: Fairness via Representation Neutralization. In this code, we use MEPS dataset as example.

Usage Instructions:

To run RNF (with proxy attribute annotations):

python train_rnf.py 

The hyperparameter alpha in the train_rnf.py file is used to control the fairness accuracy trade-off. For MEPS dataset, a reasonable range for the alpha value is between [0, 0.035].

System requirement:

torch==0.4.1.post2, torchtext==0.2.3
