Deliverables

Explainability Methods that Identify and Explain Differences in Fairness between Sensitive Subgroups (opens in new window)

This report will describe method for producing different explanations individually for each sensitive subgroup affected. We will also present the tradeoffs using techniques developed in WP4 (Task 4.1), techniques from T4.1, and what-if analyses.

An Initial Report from the Living Labs: Stakeholder Analysis, Requirements Analysis, and First Results of Choice Experiments (opens in new window)

This report will describe the Living Lab (LL) hosted by each use case. These LLs will convene a cross-section of key actors, to form a cross-sectoral working group which will serve as a focal point for interactions with stakeholders of each of the respective use cases. The LLs will comprise stakeholders such as public authorities, local business representatives, NGOs, policy makers, etc., and seek to embed their perspective into the research process, increasing the potential for practical application of project results. Stakeholder engagement within the LLs will be central to economic methods such as cost benefit analysis, choice experiments, and revealed preference analysis, in order to develop effective financial instruments to incentivise behaviour change, and inform policy development.

Report on the Open-Source Software Developed (opens in new window)

Open-source software developed within WP2-WP6 will be maintained in a single family of libraries under the Apache license, with principled design and management.This report will present the family of libraries and the summarize the process of its development.

Second Periodical Management Report (opens in new window)

The periodical management report will have two parts. (1) The Technical Report's Part B is a project status report. It presents a narrative of the progression of the work done, from project objectives and work packages, to tasks’ progress descriptions. It also covers detected risks and the associated mitigation measures. Also, any deviations from original planning should be explained here. (2) The Financial Report refers to the consumption of the project costs incurred during the period.

Initial Report on Dissemination and Exploitation (opens in new window)

This report will present market analyses and the refinement of business potential for the innovation generated by the project’s work. Interim research results will be combined with the insight from the business analysis in defining and classifying the innovative features of products and services enabled by the beyond-the-state-of-art contributions of the project. Competitive analysis will contribute information about alternative offerings available in the market and provide insight into possible synergies with existing offerings.This will underlie the exploitation and dissemination plans of the consortium.

Report on User-induced Feedback Loops (opens in new window)

Fairness in industrial applications is a critical area that will involve human-in-the-loop at various stages. This report will describe methods to introduce guard rails or safety measures when allowing users to influence an AI system. Several challenges exist in online learning scenarios when reward signals come from users. Preference elicitation on possible trade-offs on user feedback will also be described.

Methods to Measure and Assess Model Safety in the Context of Fairness (opens in new window)

This report will describe methods and metrics for model transparency that directly include safety assessments, with particular focus on fairness dimensions. The ultimate measure of explainability is, indeed, if humans find it useful, but less attention has been paid to important reasons of safety and preventing unexpected harms. The report will elaborate upon those.

Methods for Explainability that Incorporate Fairness Measures (opens in new window)

This report describes novel explainability methods to provide explanations on fairness of the outcomes of AI algorithms, tying the produced explanations to respective fairness definitions. In particular, we will focus on how we will incorporate additional factors in the optimization objective of explainability algorithms such as counterafactuals or SHAP, in order to account for in changes of fairness definition configurations. This will also describe their initial implementations.

First Periodical Management Report (opens in new window)

The periodical management report will have two parts. (1) The Technical Report's Part B is a project status report. It presents a narrative of the progression of the work done, from project objectives and work packages, to tasks’ progress descriptions. It also covers detected risks and the associated mitigation measures. Also, any deviations from original planning should be explained here. (2) The Financial Report refers to the consumption of the project costs incurred during the period.

Best Practices of Fair AI provisions in Terms of Service / End User Agreements (opens in new window)

This report will suggest and develop model contract clauses in relation to FairAI. Notably it will show how to incorporate the a-priori and post-hoc techniques developed in the project into the contracts. It will also assess existing AI-based service providers’ contract on the basis of their treatment of Fairness, Explainability, and Trust in AI.

A Study on Fair AI Policies and Regimes (opens in new window)

In order to ground the research and development in the relevant regulation of the EU and selected third countries (esp. in the WOR use case, where many clients are multi-nationals with large operations in the US), this report will present a comprehensive overview of AI-Fairness policy (to be updated as a live document), providing guidance and suggestions to the consortium. It will report on workshops with regulators dealing with AI fairness. It will explain the regulatory tensions (e.g. between property and fairness protection regimes) and suggest potential strategies of resolution. It will develop lists of best regulatory practices. It will suggest and develop model contract clauses in relation to FairAI and assess existing AI-based service providers’ contract on their basis.

Pareto Front Sampling and Visualization (opens in new window)

The tradeoff between different measures of fairness is captured by the so-called Pareto front, a visual representing the most one can achieve of a particular measure without sacrificing another. With many measures of production costs, machine learning inference quality, and fairness, the Pareto front is a high-dimensional object. We consider both low-dimensional projections of the Pareto front and the visual representations of the relative position of the proposed solution on the low-dimensional projections of the Pareto front.

An Open-Source Toolkit for Human-guided Automation of Fairness in AI (opens in new window)

Using the tools developed in the previous work packages, we intend to integrate the stochastic optimization procedures, stochastic control methods, and reinforcement learning based black box algorithms developed in a package built to high standards of scientific software engineering. We expect to enable interfacing the Backend with the AI Fairness 360 Toolkit. Using the Fair AI Backend, we intend to develop an interface with high quality GUI and visualization tools to enable end users to seamlessly input data, perform risk-free simulations, visualize the pareto front, and use reinforcement learning to suggest a prior for optimal decisions of AI solution design and implementation.

An Open-Source Toolbox for Explainability (opens in new window)

We will develop an open-source toolbox for the methods developed in T6.1 and T6.2, either within AI Explainability 360 or independently. To this end, we will deploy multiple proxy models, adapting their sampling process to represent the characteristics of different subgroups, and with the aim to identify and explain discrepancies on the decisions and the explanations between subgroups.

Web Page and Related Infrastructure (opens in new window)

The Project Website will be the base for the dissemination activities that will be projected through the website. These will include the project details, project progress, promotional videos, participation in scientific conferences and business venues. All publications derived from the project will be linked from the project website in their arxiv and archival forms to maximize the project promotion. Moreover, the project promotion plans will include the setup and maintenance of LinkedIn groups dedicated to the project promotion, and a print fact sheet.
