arXiv:2607. 05098v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: When sensitive attributes are continuous and high-dimensional $-$ demographic score vectors, posteriors over attributes, age or income profiles $-$ enforcing full statistical independence is often too restrictive, and existing relaxations rely on indirect dependence penalties or adversarial schemes that do not directly target the fairness-accuracy trade-off.

arXiv:2608. 14211v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Tabular Foundation Models (TFMs) have emerged as leading methods for tabular predictive tasks, leveraging in-context learning to predict on new data without task-specific training.

arXiv:2606. 20461v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine learning models have been shown to exhibit discriminatory outcomes or degraded performance for individuals at the intersection of multiple sensitive attributes, such as race and gender.

arXiv:2509. 16462v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used in high-stakes decision-making systems, where biased predictions can reinforce social and economic disparities.

arXiv:2605. 23145v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Individual fairness, the notion that "similar individuals should be treated similarly," provides a strong and flexible fairness guarantee for algorithmic decision makers.

arXiv:2602. 16794v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Conformal prediction (CP) offers distribution-free uncertainty quantification for machine learning models, yet its interplay with fairness in downstream decision-making remains underexplored.

arXiv:2602. 18201v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Unsupervised representations are widely assumed to be neutral with respect to sensitive attributes when those attributes are withheld from training.

arXiv:2603. 21393v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The widespread use of AI and ML models in sensitive areas raises significant concerns about fairness.
