Robust Mixture Models for Algorithmic Fairness Under Latent Heterogeneity

The paper introduces ROME, a framework that learns latent group structure while optimizing worst-group predictive performance. ROME links latent-variable modeling with distributionally robust optimization through an Expectation-Maximization approach for linear models and a neural Mixture-of-Experts for nonlinear settings. Experiments on simulations and three real-world regression datasets show that ROME improves worst-group performance while maintaining competitive overall accuracy compared to existing group-aware and group-label-free robust learning methods.
