Bias mitigation for machine learning classifiers: A comprehensive survey

M Hort, Z Chen, JM Zhang, M Harman… - ACM Journal on …, 2024 - dl.acm.org
This article provides a comprehensive survey of bias mitigation methods for achieving
fairness in Machine Learning (ML) models. We collect a total of 341 publications concerning …

Machine learning with a reject option: A survey

K Hendrickx, L Perini, D Van der Plas, W Meert… - Machine Learning, 2024 - Springer
Abstract Machine learning models always make a prediction, even when it is likely to be
inaccurate. This behavior should be avoided in many decision support applications, where …

On learning fairness and accuracy on multiple subgroups

C Shui, G Xu, Q Chen, J Li, CX Ling… - Advances in …, 2022 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We propose an analysis in fair learning that preserves the utility of the data while reducing
prediction disparities under the criteria of group sufficiency. We focus on the scenario where …

A model-agnostic heuristics for selective classification

A Pugnana, S Ruggieri - Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on …, 2023 - ojs.aaai.org
Selective classification (also known as classification with reject option) conservatively
extends a classifier with a selection function to determine whether or not a prediction should …

Fairness-aware class imbalanced learning on multiple subgroups

DA Tarzanagh, B Hou, B Tong… - Uncertainty in …, 2023 - proceedings.mlr.press
We present a novel Bayesian-based optimization framework that addresses the challenge of
generalization in overparameterized models when dealing with imbalanced subgroups and …

On universal features for high-dimensional learning and inference

SL Huang, A Makur, GW Wornell, L Zheng - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2019 - arxiv.org
We consider the problem of identifying universal low-dimensional features from high-
dimensional data for inference tasks in settings involving learning. For such problems, we …

Selective regression under fairness criteria

A Shah, Y Bu, JK Lee, S Das, R Panda… - International …, 2022 - proceedings.mlr.press
Selective regression allows abstention from prediction if the confidence to make an accurate
prediction is not sufficient. In general, by allowing a reject option, one expects the …

Regression with cost-based rejection

X Cheng, Y Cao, H Wang, H Wei… - Advances in Neural …, 2024 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Learning with rejection is an important framework that can refrain from making predictions to
avoid critical mispredictions by balancing between prediction and rejection. Previous studies …

Fair Bayes-optimal classifiers under predictive parity

X Zeng, E Dobriban, G Cheng - Advances in Neural …, 2022 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Increasing concerns about disparate effects of AI have motivated a great deal of work on fair
machine learning. Existing works mainly focus on independence-and separation-based …

Towards better selective classification

L Feng, MO Ahmed, H Hajimirsadeghi… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
We tackle the problem of Selective Classification where the objective is to achieve the best
performance on a predetermined ratio (coverage) of the dataset. Recent state-of-the-art …
