Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental Our findings also shed light on the practical relevance and utility of each of these 12 maximal fairness definitions in various scenarios, regarding the accuracy of the classifier and ratios of false positives and false negatives, considering the base rates. ...

Pseudocode No The paper contains extensive mathematical derivations and proofs but does not include any structured pseudocode or algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide any explicit statements about releasing source code, links to repositories, or mentions of code in supplementary materials.
Open Datasets Yes The COMPAS dataset (Angwin et al., 2016) is used for this example as this was used in the introduction.
Dataset Splits No The paper mentions using the COMPAS dataset and its base rates but does not provide specific training/test/validation dataset splits. It states: 'We limit ourselves to two sensitive groups, namely Caucasian and African American. The base rates are 0.43 and 0.54 respectively for the Caucasian and African American group.'
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific details about the hardware used to run its experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not provide specific software dependencies with version numbers.
Experiment Setup No The paper does not contain specific experimental setup details such as hyperparameter values, training configurations, or system-level settings.
