Abstract

We introduce a logical approach to formalizing statistical properties of machine learning. Specifically, we propose a formal model for statistical classification based on a Kripke model, and formalize various notions of classification performance, robustness, and fairness of classifiers by using epistemic logic. Then we show some relationships among properties of classifiers and those between classification performance and robustness, which suggests robustness-related properties that have not been formalized in the literature as far as we know. To formalize fairness properties, we define a notion of counterfactual knowledge and show techniques to formalize conditional indistinguishability by using counterfactual epistemic operators. As far as we know, this is the first work that uses logical formulas to express statistical properties of machine learning, and that provides epistemic (resp. counterfactually epistemic) views on robustness (resp. fairness) of classifiers.

1
Our definition of counterfactual knowledge is limited to the condition of having an observation different from the actual one. More general notions of counterfactual knowledge can be found in previous work (e.g., [38]).
 
2
This usage of modality relies on the fact that the value of the measurement variable x can be different in different possible worlds.
 
3
For instance, fairness through awareness [13] requires that protected attributes (e.g., race, religion, or gender) are not explicitly used in the prediction process. However, StatEL may not be suited to formalizing such a property in treatment.
