Grad2Fair: A Gradient-driven Approach for Graph Fairness without Demographics

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

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.

Fairness-Aware Mixture-of-Experts via Subgroup Reweighting and Gate Regularization

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

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.
