A nested-projection gradient algorithm attains O(log T) regret with O(log T) cumulative constraint violation for strongly convex losses, and O(√T) for both with convex losses; the body's proof is coherent, though the abstract claims lower-bound results the body never contains.
SCC-VFL reduces individual decision flip rates by up to 98% in vertical federated learning while preserving accuracy through differentially private feature role discovery and selective counterfactual consistency enforcement.
A tropical zeta function for convex domains is defined, shown to have a simple pole at s=2/3 with residue proportional to equiaffine perimeter, and connected to Witten SU(3) zeta for a limit-shape domain.
Random team assignments in a professional firm reveal that indirect ties strongly increase new direct tie formation, while effects of degree and local density are smaller and less robust.
There exists a non-trivial Lipschitz constant L* that makes a network intrinsically calibrated; LiST finds it automatically via temperature feedback and produces calibrated robust models on CIFAR and Tiny-ImageNet.
Empirical audit of LAION-2B-en and LAION-2B-multi finds overrepresentation of young adults, White people, and males plus stereotypical emotion associations across two attribute classifiers.
AgentFairBench is a multi-domain benchmark for demographic disparity in LLM agent actions, with a pilot showing no significant effect for Claude Haiku 4.5 after arity-matched noise correction.
Federated personalization of foundation models creates hard-to-detect trustworthiness failures due to privacy constraints, and existing benchmarks cannot adequately evaluate them.
Facial recognition enacts computational epistemicide by progressively reducing faces to standardized numerical vectors, rendering reformist ethical AI insufficient and requiring abolition of vectorized identity as a basis for rights.
Standard OLS fairness tests for deterministic pricing algorithms use invalid standard errors; corrected estimators reveal that all 34 tested Illinois auto insurers discriminate against minority zip codes.
The Pareto frontier of fair algorithmic decisions consists of deterministic group-specific threshold rules on predicted success probabilities, which can include upper bounds for some fairness metrics and holds independently of model training approach.
Integrating complementary fairness metrics into AutoML pipeline optimization yields 14.5% better average fairness, 35.7% less data usage, and simpler models, with a 9.4% drop in predictive performance versus a performance-only baseline.
Introduces a taxonomy of model, feedback, and prediction uncertainty in sequential decisions and demonstrates that accounting for uneven uncertainty across groups can reduce outcome variance for disadvantaged populations while preserving institutional objectives.
PAFER estimates statistical parity for differentially private decision trees using Laplacian noise, achieving low error while preserving privacy and favoring interpretable trees.
Reproduction of FACTER across architectures and sparsity levels shows static fairness instructions match dynamic prompt repair on semantic parity in fixed-candidate re-ranking, with code released.
State-of-the-art LLMs respond inconsistently to queries from protected-group personas, with some responses omitting key information that should be provided.
Extends bias mitigation with coverage constraints, casts it as an ILP, and defines the price of fairness as the minimum data modification cost as a function of allowed bias tolerance.
Fairness is defined as invariance under sensitive-attribute bit-flips and enforced via loss regularization, yielding 90% violation reduction and 5% accuracy cost on four synthetic datasets without requiring causal graphs.
Replica-based fairness audit of a college Early Warning System shows younger, male, and international students are disproportionately flagged for support, with post-processing amplifying disparities.
A tree-of-thoughts inspired hybrid extractive-abstractive LLM prompt yields better legal case judgment summaries than standard extractive or abstractive prompts.
