Machine-learning model for fairness metrics and risk score generation
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11928730B1) outlines a system and method for training a machine-learning model to improve fairness metrics while generating risk scores based on real-time data. The system involves processors executing computing instructions to train the model using historical data, solving maximization and minimization problems, and estimating convergence points and regularization items. The model evaluates fairness criteria and model prediction power, updating control parameters and regenerating outputs as needed to meet specified thresholds.
The patented system further includes features such as parallel processing of maximization and minimization problems, comparison of protected groups against benchmarks for fairness metrics, and outputting risk scores for credit applications based on historical and real-time credit risk data. The method involves iterative processes to ensure the uniform predicted output meets fairness criteria and model prediction power standards. Control parameters are adjusted, and outputs are regenerated when these criteria are not satisfied, all before reaching a predetermined number of iterations. This innovative approach aims to enhance the accuracy and fairness of machine-learning models in decision-making processes, particularly in sensitive areas like credit risk assessment.
