Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental Experimental evaluation with real world datasets and user studies demonstrate that our framework can provide decision makers with a comprehensive overview of recourses corresponding to any black box model, and consequently help detect undesirable model biases and discrimination.

Pseudocode Yes Pseudocode for this procedure is provided in Appendix.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide an explicit statement or link for the open-source code of the methodology described.
Open Datasets Yes Our first dataset is the COMPAS dataset which was collected by Pro Publica [18]. Our second dataset is the German Credit dataset [9]. Our third dataset is the bail decisions dataset [16].
Dataset Splits No We split our datasets randomly into train (50%) and test sets (50%). The paper does not specify a validation set split.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific details about the hardware used for running experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions using various machine learning models and baselines (e.g., LIME, SHAP, FACE, AR) but does not provide specific version numbers for software dependencies or libraries used.
Experiment Setup Yes We employ a simple tuning procedure to set the λ parameters (details in Appendix) and the constraint values are assigned as ϵ1 = 20, ϵ2 = 7, and ϵ3 = 10. Support threshold for Apriori rule mining algorithm is set to 1%.
