Abstract

This repository contains the R source code used to generate the results, tables, and figures for the paper "A Fairness-Aware TabTransformer Framework for Credit Scoring with High-Cardinality Regional Bias" . It implements a deep learning pipeline using "torch" for R, comparing a custom Fairness-Regularized TabTransformer against industry baselines (XGBoost, Random Forest, Logistic Regression).
