# Compas
The [Compas dataset](https://github.com/propublica/compas-analysis) for recidivism prediction.
Dataset known to have racial bias issues, check this [Propublica article](https://www.propublica.org/article/machine-bias-risk-assessments-in-criminal-sentencing) on the topic.
# Configurations and tasks
| **Configuration** | **Task** | Description |
|----------------------------------|---------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| encoding | | Encoding dictionary showing original values of encoded features.|
| two-years-recidividity | Binary classification | Will the defendant be a violent recidivist? |
| two-years-recidividity-no-race | Binary classification | As above, but the `race` feature is removed. |
| priors-prediction | Regression | How many prior crimes has the defendant committed? |
| priors-prediction-no-race | Binary classification | As above, but the `race` feature is removed. |
| race | Multiclass classification | What is the `race` of the defendant? |
# Usage
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("mstz/compas", "two-years-recidividity")["train"]
```
