fairlearn.reductions.Moment#

class fairlearn.reductions.Moment[source]#

Generic moment.

Our implementations of the reductions approach to fairness [1] make use of Moment objects to describe both the optimization objective and the fairness constraints imposed on the solution. This is an abstract class for all such objects.
