arXiv:2606. 14977v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper provides identification results to characterize a fairness-accuracy (FA) frontier, and statistical inference tools to test hypotheses and build a confidence set for the FA-frontier, when outcomes are observed only for selected individuals.
arXiv:2609.07959v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Machine learning models are widely used in clinical applications, social media, law enforcement and critical infrastructure. Verifying whether their...
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:2509. 22907v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Conformal Prediction (CP) is a widely used technique for quantifying uncertainty in machine learning models.
arXiv:2609.39829v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern machine learning depends heavily on massive datasets, but obtaining high-quality annotations at scale is often expensive. As a result, learning...
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: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.
FairMean is a new approach for distributed learning that addresses the conflict between fairness and robustness to label poisoning attacks. It assigns weights to client gradients based on a bounded, nondecreasing function of local loss, giving higher weight to high‑loss clients to promote fairness while limiting the influence of poisoned clients. The method is shown to improve fairness compared to standard average‑loss minimization and to reduce accuracy variance while boosting worst‑client accuracy in experiments.
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: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: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: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:2407. 14766v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper presents a philosophical and experimental study of fairness interventions in AI classification, centered on the explainability and transparency of corrective methods, and on the opposition between two fairness criteria, namely Demographic Parity and Equalized Odds.
