FairLens is a benchmark and evaluation framework that measures fairness and validity of vision‑language models (VLMs) in high‑stakes domains such as hiring, legal, and healthcare. It uses over 100,000 face‑image and question pairs covering gender, race, and age, and assesses responses through demographic parity, soundness, demographic association, and bias in free‑text generation. The study finds that VLMs often make unwarranted inferences from faces rather than abstaining, especially in legal and healthcare contexts, and that small parity gaps can still hide unsafe treatment across groups.

The paper introduces FairTPT, a fairness-aware test‑time prompt tuning method for vision‑language models like CLIP. It jointly minimizes target marginal entropy while maximizing spurious marginal entropy to reduce bias under subpopulation shifts. Experiments show that standard episodic test‑time adaptation can worsen disparities, but FairTPT outperforms existing debiasing methods while preserving overall performance.
The paper introduces a method called Debias Anything that jointly addresses fairness and diversity in diffusion models without requiring sensitive-attribute annotations. By connecting a frozen diffusion model to a pretrained vision-language embedding space via an adapter, the approach uses pairs of text prompts to guide batch composition toward desired attribute proportions and employs a disagreement score to promote diversity. The method is applicable to both unconditional and text-conditional diffusion models and demonstrates improved quality and diversity while maintaining comparable fairness levels in experiments.

arXiv:2602. 06806v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Text-to-image diffusion models achieve impressive generation quality but inherit and amplify training-data biases, skewing coverage of semantic attributes.
arXiv:2404. 01356v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deep neural networks are vulnerable to adversarial perturbations that can simultaneously degrade prediction robustness and individual fairness across diverse application settings.
arXiv:2606. 01282v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Text-to-Image (TTI) systems are now everyday infrastructure for journalism, education, advertising, and public communication, and the demographic and cultural stereotypes they inherit from training data (rendering women, people of colour, older adults, and non-Western cultures as under-represented or caricatured) become a population-level harm at deployment scale.
