Fair Classification with Efficient and Post-hoc Controllable Fairness-Accuracy Trade-off

2026-06-26 · Maaya Sakata, Kazuto Fukuchi arxiv

Post-hoc controllability of fair machine learning models, the ability to control the trade-off between fairness and accuracy after training, is valuable for practical deployment. Existing post-processing methods provide such post-hoc controllability but often suffer from significant accuracy degradation, whereas in-processing methods achieve efficient trade-offs but require computationally expensive retraining for each change in trade-off ratio. To achieve both post-hoc controllability and efficient trade-offs, we propose a novel fair classification algorithm that learns effective feature representations to improve the trade-off efficiency of post-processing fair classifiers, by a gradient-based optimization approach. Experimental results on real-world datasets demonstrate that our method achieves trade-off efficiency comparable to, or even surpassing, in-processing methods, without requiring any retraining.

FedFACT: A Provable Framework for Controllable Group-Fairness Calibration in Federated Learning

2025-06-04 · Li Zhang, Zhongxuan Han, Chaochao Chen, Xiaohua Feng 외

With emerging application of Federated Learning (FL) in decision-making scenarios, it is imperative to regulate model fairness to prevent disparities across sensitive groups (e.g., female, male). Current research predomi…

Fairness Aware Reward Optimization

2026-02-08 · Ching Lam Choi, Vighnesh Subramaniam, Phillip Isola, Antonio Torralba 외 arxiv

Demographic skews in human preference data propagate systematic unfairness through reward models into aligned LLMs. We introduce Fairness Aware Reward Optimization (Faro), an in-processing framework that trains reward mo…

Bias Mitigation Post-processing for Individual and Group Fairness

2018-12-14 · Pranay K. Lohia, Karthikeyan Natesan Ramamurthy, Manish Bhide, Diptikalyan Saha 외

Whereas previous post-processing approaches for increasing the fairness of predictions of biased classifiers address only group fairness, we propose a method for increasing both individual and group fairness. Our novel f…

Optimal Fairness under Local Differential Privacy

2025-11-20 · Hrad Ghoukasian, Shahab Asoodeh arxiv

We investigate how to optimally design local differential privacy (LDP) mechanisms that reduce data unfairness and thereby improve fairness in downstream classification. We first derive a closed-form optimal mechanism fo…
