XTRACTIS for Human Resources

Discovery of Discriminatory Biases in the Professional Evaluation of Employees

Benchmark vs. Logistic Regression, Random Forests, Boosted Trees & Neural Networks

Design an AI-based decision-making system that accurately and explicitly models a company’s evaluation strategies from its employees’ characteristics, specially to automatically highlight discriminatory biases in these strategies.

This use case is an illustrative example of XTRACTIS’ ability to reveal conscious or unconscious biases in high-risk critical decisional processes.

Goals & Benefits

Identify the specific parameters characterizing each employee and which are significant in his or her manager’s evaluation process.

Improve Human Resources management knowledge by helping companies understand the cause-and-effect relationships between these parameters and managers’ decision strategies.

Give the regulator a tool to check social compliance on a case-by-case basis.

XTRACTIS-induced Decision System

Intelligible Model, Explainable Decisions
  • The top-model is a very simple decision system composed of 6 binary rules without chaining.
  • Each rule uses from 1 to 3 predictors among the 4 variables that XTRACTIS automatically identified as significant in the decision process (out of the 20 Potential Predictors).
  • Two rules are discriminatory as they clearly state that a a specific origin of the first name is a systematic decision criterion.

It has a perfect Real Performance (on unknown data).

It computes real-time predictions up to 70,000 decisions/second, offline or online (API).
