Demystifying the Optimal Fair Classifier in Multi-Class Classification
Li Zhang, Yuyuan Li, XiaoHua Feng +3
Ensuring fair and equitable treatment across diverse groups, particularly in multi-class classification tasks, poses a significant challenge due to the persistent biases inherent i…
Taming the Long Tail: Efficient Item-wise Sharpness-Aware Minimization for LLM-based Recommender Systems
Jiaming Zhang, Yuyuan Li, Xiaohua Feng +4
Large Language Model-based Recommender Systems (LRSs) have recently emerged as a new paradigm in sequential recommendation by directly adopting LLMs as backbones. While LRSs demons…
UFO: Unfair-to-Fair Evolving Mitigates Unfairness in LLM-based Recommender Systems via Self-Play Fine-tuning
Jiaming Zhang, Yuyuan Li, Xiaohua Feng +3
Large language model-based Recommender Systems (LRSs) have demonstrated superior recommendation performance by integrating pre-training with Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT). However,…
TOFA: Training-Free One-Shot Federated Adaptation for Vision-Language Models
Li Zhang, Zhongxuan Han, XiaoHua Feng +5
Efficient and lightweight adaptation of pre-trained Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to downstream tasks through collaborative interactions between local clients and a central server…
FedFACT: A Provable Framework for Controllable Group-Fairness Calibration in Federated Learning
Li Zhang, Zhongxuan Han, Xiaohua Feng +3
With the emerging application of Federated Learning (FL) in decision-making scenarios, it is imperative to regulate model fairness to prevent disparities across sensitive groups (e…
Generative Model Unlearning: A Survey through Target Events, Unlearning Operators, and Evaluation Protocols
Xiaohua Feng, Jiaming Zhang, Fengyuan Yu +7
With the rapid advancement of generative models, privacy, copyright, safety, and reliability risks have attracted growing attention. To mitigate these risks, machine unlearning has…
