Query: Fairness-guided SMT-based Rectification of Decision Trees and Random
  Forests   Data-driven decision making is gaining prominence with the popularity of
various machine learning models. Unfortunately, real-life data used in machine
learning training may capture human biases, and as a result the learned models
may lead to unfair decision making. In this paper, we provide a solution to
this problem for decision trees and random forests. Our approach converts any
decision tree or random forest into a fair one with respect to a specific data
set, fairness criteria, and sensitive attributes. The \emph{FairRepair} tool,
built based on our approach, is inspired by automated program repair techniques
for traditional programs. It uses an SMT solver to decide which paths in the
decision tree could have their outcomes flipped to improve the fairness of the
model. Our experiments on the well-known adult dataset from UC Irvine
demonstrate that FairRepair scales to realistic decision trees and random
forests. Furthermore, FairRepair provides formal guarantees about soundness and
completeness of finding a repair. Since our fairness-guided repair technique
repairs decision trees and random forests obtained from a given (unfair)
data-set, it can help to identify and rectify biases in decision-making in an
organisation.
