Projects

Auditing for Bias – May 2023

Project Description: Assessed potential racial bias in a machine-learning model using the ProPublica COMPAS dataset, aimed to understand disparities in false positive rates and calibration for African-American and Caucasian defendants, and explored the implications of algorithmic decision-making in criminal justice.

Assessed potential racial bias in a machine-learning model using the ProPublica COMPAS dataset, aimed to understand disparities in false positive rates and calibration for African-American and Caucasian defendants, and explored the implications of algorithmic decision-making in criminal justice.

Findings indicated that the algorithm was more likely to falsely predict recidivism for African-American individuals, highlighting significant societal implications and the need for fairness in algorithmic decision-making.

Programming Languages Used: Python

Algorithms & Techniques Used: Linear Regression, Decision Trees, AdaBoost, ROC Curve Analysis Food Munch (Web Application) – May 2023
