Pseudocode No The paper does not contain any pseudocode or clearly labeled algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide any concrete access to source code for the described methodology.
Open Datasets Yes The dataset we use for evaluation is the UCI Adult income dataset [Dheeru and Karra Taniskidou, 2017].
Dataset Splits No The paper mentions using the UCI Adult dataset but does not provide specific details on training, validation, or test splits (e.g., percentages, sample counts, or a citation to a predefined split).
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide any specific details about the hardware used for running the experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not list specific software components with their version numbers (e.g., programming languages, libraries, or solvers).
Experiment Setup Yes The fairness threshold is 0.05, i.e., the effect should be in [ 0.05, 0.05] to be fair. [...] λ is a hyperparameter which controls a trade-off between utility and fairness of data generation. [...] Figure 5 shows the results for total effect, where we get a fairly good trade-off between utility and fairness at λ = 1. We evaluate 4 classifiers: support vector machine (SVM), decision tree (DT), logistic regression (LR) and random forest (RF).
