Disclaimer about COMPAS dataset: It is important to note that developing a machine learning model to predict pre-trial detention has a number of important ethical considerations. You can learn more about these issues in the Partnership on AI Report on Algorithmic Risk Assessment Tools in the U.S. Criminal Justice System. The Partnership on AI is a multi-stakeholder organization -- of which Google is a member -- that creates guidelines around AI.

We’re using the COMPAS dataset only as an example of how to identify and remediate fairness concerns in data. This dataset is canonical in the algorithmic fairness literature.
