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: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: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.
