The paper proposes a fairness-aware Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) framework that tackles routing-induced bias by applying subgroup reweighting to correct data imbalance and gate entropy regularization to prevent the gating network from collapsing onto subgroup attributes. This end-to-end approach keeps expert utilization balanced and interpretable, offering a clear view of how subgroups are allocated across experts. Experiments show that the method improves fairness while maintaining competitive predictive performance.

Subgraph Filtering for Fair Graph Neural Networks (SF‑GNN) is a lightweight, architecture‑agnostic framework that reduces structural bias in GNNs by identifying and filtering bias‑prone edges during message passing. It combines sensitive homophily with structural propagation amplifiers such as hub participation and triadic closure to detect problematic edges, then applies stochastic edge filtering to downweight or remove them while preserving the rest of the graph. Experiments on five benchmark datasets demonstrate that SF‑GNN consistently improves fairness while maintaining competitive predictive performance, achieving a better fairness–accuracy trade‑off than recent fairness‑aware GNN baselines.

Bike-sharing systems are an important component of low-carbon urban mobility, but continued expansion creates challenges in both cold-start prediction and equitable resource allocation. Newly deployed...
FairNVT is a lightweight debiasing framework that injects calibrated Gaussian noise into sensitive embeddings learned by adapters for pretrained transformer-based encoders. By reducing sensitive-attribute leakage through orthogonality constraints and fairness regularization, it improves fairness metrics such as demographic parity difference and equalized odds while maintaining competitive task performance across vision and language datasets.

Graph neural networks (GNNs) can exhibit unfair behavior even when sensitive attributes are excluded from node features, because graph topology and message passing propagate group-correlated signals u...
The paper introduces FairGIN, a fairness-aware graph neural network designed to predict demand for expanding bike‑sharing systems while addressing cold‑start challenges and equity concerns. It combines expansion‑simulated incremental training, attention‑based knowledge transfer, and income‑stratified regularization to improve predictive accuracy and reduce income‑based disparities. Experiments on NYC and Seattle show that FairGIN outperforms existing methods and supports more inclusive station placement without sacrificing overall efficiency.
