Abstract:
One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving a dataset and a model corresponding to a bias checker, wherein the bias checker detects bias within both the dataset and the model, based upon a bias checking algorithm and a bias checking policy, wherein the dataset comprises a plurality of attributes; testing the bias checking algorithm of the bias checker by (i) generating test cases that modify the dataset by introducing bias therein and (ii) running the bias checker against the modified dataset; testing the bias checking policy of the bias checker by generating a plurality of test cases and running the bias checker against the plurality of test cases; and providing a notification to a user regarding whether the bias checker failed to indicate bias for one or more of the plurality of attributes.
