We propose a new design of fair classifiers for multi-class classification problems in the presence of vector-valued sensitive attributes. In that scenario each sensitive attribute has multiple values...
arXiv:2606. 00656v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Ensuring fair and equitable treatment across diverse groups, particularly in multi-class classification tasks, poses a significant challenge due to the persistent biases inherent in machine learning models.
arXiv:2603. 21393v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The widespread use of AI and ML models in sensitive areas raises significant concerns about fairness.
arXiv:2607. 18119v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fair clustering aims to make cluster assignments independent of sensitive attributes, but this goal becomes challenging when multiple sensitive attributes jointly define many subgroups.
arXiv:2602.08589v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: PageRank (PR) is a fundamental algorithm in graph machine learning tasks. Owing to the increasing importance of algorithmic fairness, we consider t...
arXiv:2402. 01811v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Credit scoring has been catalogued by the European Commission and the Executive Office of the US President as a high-risk classification task, in light of the potential harms of making loan approval decisions based on models that would be biased against certain groups.
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:2604. 16610v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Machine learning models often inherit biases from historical data, raising critical concerns about fairness and accountability.
FairLRF proposes a fairness-oriented low rank factorization framework that uses singular value decomposition (SVD) to improve deep learning model fairness. By selectively removing bias-inducing elements from the unitary matrices obtained via SVD, the method reduces group disparities while preserving accuracy. Experiments demonstrate that FairLRF outperforms existing low rank factorization and state-of-the-art fairness techniques, and an ablation study explores the impact of key hyper-parameters.
arXiv:2510. 07328v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Medical decision systems increasingly rely on data from multiple sources to ensure reliable and unbiased diagnosis.
arXiv:2607. 29441v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many real-world systems rely on predictive models to inform decisions, and fairness concerns arise in both the prediction and decision stages.
arXiv:2503.05684v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Pre-trained foundation models can be efficiently adapted for specific tasks using Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA), but the fairness properties of...
