Understanding Bias: From Societal Roots to Algorithmic Outcomes
Bias is a multi-faceted concept, originating from social science, cognitive psychology, and law, and manifesting across all stages of the ML pipeline. Our approach formalizes 51 distinct bias types, as categorized by NIST, including statistical, systemic, and human biases, providing a foundational vocabulary for precise identification and mitigation.
Quantifying Bias: From Theoretical Concepts to Actionable Metrics
To operationalize bias detection, we incorporate bias measures (metrics and indicators) that quantitatively assess the presence and extent of bias. This includes defining Target Groups, Attributes, Group Comparisons, and Thresholds. Our ontology integrates existing fairness metrics and provides a framework for new measures, facilitating empirical analysis and informed decision-making.
Semantic Foundations: Bridging Knowledge Gaps in AI Pipelines
Ontologies, like our Doc-BIASO, provide a formal, machine-readable specification of shared conceptualizations. By reusing established vocabularies (SKOS, PROV-O, FOAF, MLS, DCAT, FMO, AIRO, VAIR), we create an integrated, comprehensive vocabulary that enhances FAIR principles (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, Reusability) for AI artifacts, improving transparency and auditability.

Case Study: Age and Representation Bias in US Census Data
Challenge: Identifying and quantifying representation bias in demographic datasets, specifically age groups, to inform ethical AI development and policy-making.
Solution: Implemented 'Data Coverage' and 'Representation Rate' measures using Doc-BIASO over the UCI Adult dataset (derived from US Census). The knowledge graph (4,819 statements) provided semantic representation for fine-grained bias analysis.
Outcome: Revealed significant representation bias against specific age groups (e.g., Age Group 6: 85-90, and depending on dataset, Age Group 4: 45-64 or Age Group 1: 16-24), indicating potential for 'Erasure' harm. The ontology enabled traceable documentation of bias detection assessments.
