GitHub - NimitJ99/Auditing-Bias-using-Machine-Learning: The objective of this project is to investigate the fairness of a machine learning algorithm used to predict recidivism in the criminal justice system. We utilize the ProPublica COMPAS dataset to build a model that predicts the likelihood of a defendant recidivating within the next two years.
