FairStress
Dataset for the paper "Asymmetrically Unfair Decision Making and Reasoning in LLMs".
FairStress tests LLM fairness as a decision process rather than a single answer. It includes 300 decision-making scenarios across 29 high-stakes domains (hiring, healthcare, law, housing, etc.), each posed with two candidates who differ by a protected-attribute contrast (race, gender, religion, disability, age, ...). Every scenario is instantiated at 4 degrees of demographic-identity signaling (implicit to explicit) and, at the robustness level, paired with one of 78 adversarial prefixes that argue for one candidate or the other.
FairStress gives the complete, full analysis of procedural bias — not just whether a model's final answer is correct, but whether it holds a correct decision, and a tied decision, equally robustly regardless of which group it favors.
About the work
Standard bias benchmarks (BBQ, StereoSet, CrowS-Pairs) score models on the answer alone. FairStress instead measures procedural fairness — whether the process that produced a decision is fair — at four levels: (1) the decision itself, (2) how firmly the model holds that decision under an adversarial prefix, (3) whether its stated reasoning is biased, and (4) whether its internal activations are. Each of the 300 base scenarios (two candidates, one domain, one decision) is rendered as a ground-truth version (one candidate is objectively stronger) and an ambiguous version (a true tie), across 33 minority/majority identity contrasts, 4 degrees of how explicitly that identity is signaled, and up to 78 adversarial prefixes arguing for one candidate or the other.

Splits
| Split | What it is |
|---|---|
full |
Recommended split to run. The complete generated corpus — every scenario × domain × signaling-degree × adversarial-prefix combination. This is the exact data behind the paper's results; running a model against it gives the complete, exact analysis of procedural bias. |
core |
FairStress-Core — a subset of full, selected via 2PL IRT (Fluid Benchmarking) rather than randomly. A lighter, cheaper option when running the full 13M-row corpus isn't feasible. |
Usage
from datasets import load_dataset
# full corpus — recommended: the complete, exact analysis of procedural bias
full = load_dataset("allenai/fairstress", split="full")
# FairStress-Core — lighter/cheaper subset
core = load_dataset("allenai/fairstress", split="core")
