Causally Disentangled Contrastive Learning for Multilingual Speaker Embeddings
Mariëtte Olijslager, Seyed Sahand Mohammadi Ziabari, Ali Mohammed Mansoor Alsahag
Self-supervised speaker embeddings are widely used in speaker verification systems, but prior work has shown that they often encode sensitive demographic attributes, raising fairne…
Hybrid Vision Transformer_GAN Attribute Neutralizer for Mitigating Bias in Chest X_Ray Diagnosis
Jobeal Solomon, Ali Mohammed Mansoor Alsahag, Seyed Sahand Mohammadi Ziabari
Bias in chest X-ray classifiers frequently stems from sex- and age-related shortcuts, leading to systematic underdiagnosis of minority subgroups. Previous pixel-space attribute neu…
Assessing the quality and coherence of word embeddings after SCM-based intersectional bias mitigation
Eren Kocadag, Seyed Sahand Mohammadi Ziabari, Ali Mohammed Mansoor Alsahag
Static word embeddings often absorb social biases from the text they learn from, and those biases can quietly shape downstream systems. Prior work that uses the Stereotype Content…
Cross-Language Speaker Attribute Prediction Using MIL and RL
Sunny Shu, Seyed Sahand Mohammadi Ziabari, Ali Mohammed Mansoor Alsahag
We study multilingual speaker attribute prediction under linguistic variation, domain mismatch, and data imbalance across languages. We propose RLMIL-DAT, a multilingual extension…
Fairness Metric Design Exploration in Multi-Domain Moral Sentiment Classification using Transformer-Based Models
Battemuulen Naranbat, Seyed Sahand Mohammadi Ziabari, Yousuf Nasser Al Husaini +1
Ensuring fairness in natural language processing for moral sentiment classification is challenging, particularly under cross-domain shifts where transformer models are increasingly…
Effects of Unplanned Incoming Flights on Airport Relief Processes after a Major Natural Disaster
Luka Van de Sype, Matthieu Vert, Alexei Sharpanskykh +1
The severity of natural disasters is increasing every year, impacting many people's lives. During the response phase of disasters, airports are important hubs where relief aid arri…
