mcboost: Multi-Calibration Boosting
Florian Pfisterer · 2021
Implements 'Multi-Calibration Boosting' (2018) and 'Multi-Accuracy Boosting' (2019) for the multi-calibration of a machine learning model's prediction. 'MCBoost' updates predictions for sub-groups in an iterative fashion in order to mitigate biases like poor calibration or large accuracy differences across subgroups. Multi-Calibration works best in scenarios where the underlying data & labels are unbiased, but resulting models are. This is often the case, e.g. when an algorithm fits a majority population while ignoring or under-fitting minority populations.
