- Models predicting if a college student will fail in a course
- Multiple cooperative classifier model (MCCM) model was the best at reducing bias, or discrimination against African-American students, while other models (particularly Logistic Regression and Rawlsian Fairness) performed far worse
- The level of bias was inconsistent across courses, with MCCM prediction showing the least bias for Psychology and the greatest bias for Computer Science
- Multiple cooperative classifier model (MCCM) model was the best at reducing bias, or discrimination against male students, performing particularly better for Psychology course.
- Other models (Logistic Regression and Rawlsian Fairness) performed far worse for male students, performing particularly worse in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering.
Lee and Kizilcec (2020) [pdf]
- Model predicting college course grade of median or above
- Out-of-the-box random forest model violates demographic parity and equality of opportunity for URM (underrepresented minority: American Indian, Black, Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, Hispanic, and Multicultural) than for non-URM students (White and Asian)
Yu et al. (2020) [pdf]
- Models predicting undergraduate course grades and average GPA
- Students who are international, first-generation, or from low-income households were inaccurately predicted to get lower course grade and average GPA than their peers
- Fairness of models improved with the inclusion of clickstream and survey data
Riazy et al. (2020) [pdf]
- Models predicting course outcome of students in a virtual learning environment (VLE)
- Students with self-declared disability were predicted to pass the course with 16-23 percentage points in favor from the training and test set
