This paper presents fairlib, an open-source framework for assessing and improving classification fairness. It provides a systematic framework for quickly reproducing existing baseline models, developing new methods, evaluating models with different metrics, and visualizing their results. Its modularity and extensibility enable the framework to be used for diverse types of inputs, including natural language, images, and audio. In detail, we implement 14 debiasing methods, including pre-processing, at-training-time, and post-processing approaches. The built-in metrics cover the most commonly used fairness criterion and can be further generalized and customized for fairness evaluation.
