Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited dataset specificity

   The tool is specifically designed for the COMPAS recidivism prediction dataset, limiting its applicability to other datasets or domains.

2. 02

   Complex setup and configuration

   Setting up the environment requires a detailed understanding of Python dependencies and specific library versions, which can be time-consuming for new users.

3. 03

   Documentation lacks depth and examples

   The documentation provides basic usage instructions but lacks comprehensive tutorials or real-world examples to guide users through complex scenarios.

4. 04

   Performance issues with large datasets

   Processing time increases significantly when analyzing large datasets, which can slow down the analysis and mitigation processes.

What it does well

• Bias detection and mitigation using the COMPAS dataset

• Visualization of fairness metrics

• Detailed analysis reports for model evaluation
