| Pseudocode | Yes | Algorithm 1: Fair GLASSO from Gaussian observations. |
| Open Source Code | Yes | Moreover, the code, which is included in the submission for completeness, will be made available on Git Hub if the draft is accepted. |
| Open Datasets | Yes | The Movie Lens dataset, a common benchmark for fair graph machine learning, exemplifies our ability to form unbiased models from networks used for recommendation systems. ...

| Dataset Splits | No | Hyperparameters for optimization methods are either chosen to showcase specific scenarios as in Sections 4.2 and 4.4 or chosen via classical hyperparameter tuning methods as stated in Appendix G. |
| Hardware Specification | Yes | The experiments are run on a computer with AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X 32-Core Processor, two Nvidia Titan RTX GPU, and 188GB of RAM. |
| Software Dependencies | No | The paper does not provide specific software dependencies with version numbers. |
| Experiment Setup | Yes | Extensive experimental details including our performance metrics, the baselines with which we compare, and the real-world datasets are provided in Appendix G; these details are summarized here. We include additional experiments on the effect of varying the hyperparameters µ1 and µ2 and violating assumptions (AS1)-(AS4) of Theorem 1 on Appendix H. |
