AUTOMATED FAIRNESS-DRIVEN GRAPH NODE LABEL CLASSIFICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17543149 titled 'AUTOMATED FAIRNESS-DRIVEN GRAPH NODE LABEL CLASSIFICATION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, systems, and computer program products for automated fairness-driven graph node label classification. This involves predicting node labels in a graph using a prediction model and generating an updated version of the model based on the predicted labels and fairness constraints. The updated model is then used to perform automated actions.

  • Obtaining an input graph
  • Predicting node labels using a graph node label prediction model
  • Generating an updated version of the model based on predicted labels and fairness constraints
  • Performing automated actions using the updated model

Potential Applications

  • Social network analysis
  • Recommender systems
  • Fraud detection
  • Image recognition

Problems Solved

  • Ensuring fairness in graph node label classification
  • Addressing biases and discrimination in automated decision-making systems

Benefits

  • Improved fairness and equity in automated classification systems
  • Reducing bias and discrimination in decision-making processes
  • Enhancing the accuracy and reliability of graph node label classification


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and computer program products for automated fairness-driven graph node label classification are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes obtaining at least one input graph; predicting one or more node labels associated with the at least one input graph by processing at least a portion of the at least one input graph using a graph node label prediction model, wherein the graph node label prediction model includes at least one loss function; generating an updated version of the graph node label prediction model based at least in part on the one or more predicted node labels and one or more group fairness-based constraints relevant to the at least one input graph; and performing one or more automated actions using the updated version of the graph node label prediction model.
