fairret: a Framework for Differentiable Fairness Regularization Terms
read the original abstract
Current fairness toolkits in machine learning only admit a limited range of fairness definitions and have seen little integration with automatic differentiation libraries, despite the central role these libraries play in modern machine learning pipelines. We introduce a framework of fairness regularization terms (fairrets) which quantify bias as modular, flexible objectives that are easily integrated in automatic differentiation pipelines. By employing a general definition of fairness in terms of linear-fractional statistics, a wide class of fairrets can be computed efficiently. Experiments show the behavior of their gradients and their utility in enforcing fairness with minimal loss of predictive power compared to baselines. Our contribution includes a PyTorch implementation of the fairret framework.

Do Fair Models Reason Fairly? Counterfactual Explanation Consistency for Procedural Fairness in Credit Decisions
Outcome-fair credit models often exhibit hidden procedural bias through inconsistent reasoning across groups, which the CEC framework mitigates by enforcing consistent feature attributions via counterfactuals.

Stochastic Penalty-Barrier Methods for Constrained Machine Learning
SPBM extends classical penalty-barrier methods to stochastic non-convex non-smooth settings via exponential dual averaging and Moreau envelopes, matching baselines with linear overhead up to 10,000 constraints.
