arXiv:2606. 17810v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we establish a set of theoretical impossibility results, termed the No-Free-Fairness theorems, that identify three fundamental sources of disparity in learning systems.
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:2606. 06830v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Data-driven pricing is increasingly prevalent in sectors such as airlines, lending, insurance, and retail.
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: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: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:2604. 16610v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Machine learning models often inherit biases from historical data, raising critical concerns about fairness and accountability.
arXiv:2508. 12042v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Federated learning (FL) allows collaborative training of machine learning models across multiple parties without sharing raw data.
arXiv:2603. 04689v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Fair top-$k$ selection, which ensures appropriate proportional representation of members from minority or historically disadvantaged groups among the top-$k$ selected candidates, has drawn significant attention.
arXiv:2606. 01719v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Machine learning models trained on sensitive data can inadvertently leak population-level information about their training distributions -- a threat known as distribution inference attack (DIA).
arXiv:2601. 23221v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As acquiring reliable ground-truth labels is usually costly, or infeasible, crowdsourcing and aggregation of noisy human annotations is the typical resort.
arXiv:2304. 13917v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In recent years, there has been a surge in effort to formalize notions of fairness in machine learning.
arXiv:2603. 21393v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The widespread use of AI and ML models in sensitive areas raises significant concerns about fairness.
