help models be more fair with respect to sensitive variables yeah there was a paper from Amos Torquay's lab about how to learn machine learning models that are incapable of using specific variables so to say for example you wanted to make predictions that are not affected by gender it isn't enough to just leave gender out of the input to the model you can often infer gender from a lot of other characteristics like say that you have the person's name but you're not told their gender well right if if their name
