Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1: RISE (Robust individualized decision learning with sensitive variables)
Open Source Code Yes 1Python code is available at https://github.com/ellenxtan/rise.
Open Datasets Yes To illustrate the implication of the proposed method from a fairness perspective, we consider the National Supported Work (NSW) program [30] for improving personalized recommendations of a job training program on increasing incomes. ... To illustrate the implication of the proposed method from a safety perspective when there is delayed information, we consider the ACTG175 dataset among HIV positive patients [19].
Dataset Splits Yes For simulation, we consider training data and testing data with sample sizes of 8,000 and 2,000, respectively. For real-data applications, we consider a 80-20 split of the dataset into a training data and a testing data. ... The details on modeling and hyperparameter tuning via cross-validations are given in Appendix C.
Hardware Specification Yes Experiments are performed on a 6-core Intel Xeon CPU E5-2620 v3 2.40GHz equipped with 64GB RAM.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions software like 'neural networks' and 'Python package rise' and 'TensorFlow' but does not specify exact version numbers for these components.
Experiment Setup Yes The details on modeling and hyperparameter tuning via cross-validations are given in Appendix C.
