Unbiased Binning for Fairness-aware Attribute Representation
Abolfazl Asudeh, Zeinab Asoodeh, Bita Asoodeh +1
Discretizing raw features into bucketized attribute representations is a popular step before sharing a dataset. It is, however, evident that this step can cause significant bias in…
Fair-Count-Min: Frequency Estimation under Equal Group-wise Approximation Factor
Nima Shahbazi, Stavros Sintos, Abolfazl Asudeh
Frequency estimation in streaming data often relies on sketches like Count-Min (CM) to provide approximate answers with sublinear space. However, CM sketches introduce additive err…
Fair Set Cover
Mohsen Dehghankar, Rahul Raychaudhury, Stavros Sintos +1
The potential harms of algorithmic decisions have ignited algorithmic fairness as a central topic in computer science. One of the fundamental problems in computer science is Set Co…
FairDeFace: Evaluating the Fairness and Adversarial Robustness of Face Obfuscation Methods
Seyyed Mohammad Sadegh Moosavi Khorzooghi, Poojitha Thota, Mohit Singhal +3
The lack of a common platform and benchmark datasets for evaluating face obfuscation methods has been a challenge, with every method being tested using arbitrary experiments, datas…
Auditing Yelp's Business Ranking and Review Recommendation Through the Lens of Fairness
Mohit Singhal, Javier Pacheco, Seyyed Mohammad Sadegh Moosavi Khorzooghi +4
Auditing is critical to ensuring the fairness and reliability of decision-making systems. However, auditing a black-box system for bias can be challenging due to the lack of transp…
Online Maximum Independent Set of Hyperrectangles
Rishi Advani, Abolfazl Asudeh
The maximum independent set problem is a classical NP-hard problem in theoretical computer science. In this work, we study a special case where the family of graphs considered is r…
