Fairness-Aware Mixture of Experts with Interpretability Budgets

Published in International Conference on Discovery Science (DS 2023), 2023

In this paper, we argue that interpretability should not be viewed as a binary aspect and that, instead, it should be viewed as a continuous domain-informed notion. With this aim, we leverage the well-known Mixture of Experts architecture with user-defined budgets for the controlled use of non-interpretable models. We extend this idea with a counterfactual fairness module to ensure the selection of consistently fair experts: FairMOE.
