    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media that control bias in machine learning models by utilizing a fairness deviation constraint to learn a decision matrix that modifies machine learning model predictions. In one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems generate, utilizing a machine learning model, predicted classification probabilities from a plurality of samples comprising a plurality of values for a data attribute. Moreover, the disclosed systems determine utilizing a decision matrix and the predicted classification probabilities, that the machine learning model fails to satisfy a fairness deviation constraint with respect to a value of the data attribute. In addition, the disclosed systems generate a modified decision matrix for the machine learning model to satisfy the fairness deviation constraint by selecting a modified decision threshold for the value of the data attribute.
