arXiv:2606. 04777v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Clustering is increasingly used to support high-impact decisions, yet standard objectives such as $k$-means can produce clusterings that treat demographic groups unequally.
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: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: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: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: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. 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: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:2509. 21785v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Discretizing raw features into bucketized attribute representations is a popular step before sharing a dataset.
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:2608. 09899v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In fair ranked link prediction, demographic parity ($\Delta_\mathrm{DP}$) is a common fairness metric.
arXiv:2608. 00346v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Data imbalance poses a major challenge in supervised classification, where the majority-class bias contributes to false negatives and overestimates classification accuracy.
arXiv:2607. 14705v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph neural networks (GNNs) frequently encounter group fairness issues, often yielding biased predictions against specific demographic groups defined by sensitive attributes such as gender or race.
