And R-MDN makes equitable predictions across population groups, such as across both boys and girls when performing sex classification on the ABCD (Casey et al., 2008) dataset in the presence of pubertal development scores as the confounder. [9/n]

R-MDN can also remove the influence from multiple confounding variables, as seen when testing on the ADNI (Mueller et al., 2005) dataset. [8/n]

Since R-MDN is a normalization layer, it can be tacked on to various already-proposed model architectures. [7/n]

R-MDN effectively removes confounder influence from learned DNN features, as rigorously verified in both synthetically controlled environments and real-world datasets. [6/n]
