  • Publication number: 20230289573
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for assessing fairness of a deep generative model. A computer system receives a user defined fairness criterion for the deep generative model. A computer system probes the deep generative model to produce samples for a target output. A computer system evaluates the samples for the fairness of the deep generative model, according to the user defined fairness criterion. A computer system produces a set of recommendations for modifying the deep generative model to meet the user defined fairness criterion, in response to determining that the deep generative model does not meet the user defined fairness criterion. In response to determining that the deep generative model is to be modified, a computer system applies at least one subset of the recommendations to the deep generative model. A computer system updates the deep generative model.

  • Publication number: 20220164471
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for linking information about individual entities across multiple datasets. A target dataset with some information corresponding to at least one attribute of an entity is received. Semantic processing is performed on the target dataset to extract semantic representations of the information and corresponding attributes, which is utilized to search at least one other dataset for additional information that is absent from the target dataset, corresponding to at least one attribute of the entity, which are used to augment the target dataset with additional information corresponding to the entity. This is repeated iteratively, with each subsequent iteration including semantic representations of information found in the searches of previous iterations until no additional information about the entity is found when searching the multiple datasets with semantic representations of the now augmented target dataset.
