AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional fair active learning methods for training machine learning models are computationally intensive and inefficient, particularly for complex models, leading to high processing loads due to the need for extensive data selection and training processes.

Method used

A method that calculates the independence between prediction results and protected attributes using mutual information to select data for labeling, reducing the need for retraining by evaluating fairness without extensive model training, and optimizing the trade-off between fairness and accuracy.

Benefits of technology

Reduces processing load and execution time while maintaining fairness and accuracy improvements in machine learning models, enabling efficient data selection and training.

Abstract

Provided is a machine learning device that: calculates the independence between a prediction result, which is obtained when inputting each of a plurality of pieces of unlabeled data into a machine learning model, and the value of a first attribute of each of the plurality of pieces of data; selects a first piece of data from the plurality of pieces of data on the basis of the independence; obtains a label for the first piece of data; and executes training of the machine learning model on the basis of the first piece of data and the label.
