We propose simple active sampling and reweighting strategies for optimizing min-max fairness that can be applied to any classification or regression model learned via loss minimization. The key intuition behind our approach is to use at each timestep a datapoint from the group that is worst off under the current model for updating the model. The ease of implementation and the generality of our robust formulation make it an attractive option for improving model performance on disadvantaged groups. For convex learning problems, such as linear or logistic regression, we provide a fine-grained analysis, proving the rate of convergence to a min-max fair solution.

  1. The Statistical Cost of Adaptation in Multi-Source Transfer Learning

    math.ST 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    Multi-source transfer learning incurs an intrinsic adaptation cost that can exceed one, with phase transitions separating regimes where bias-agnostic estimators match oracle performance from those where they cannot.

  2. FairBED: A Bayesian Experimental Design Approach to Gathering Fairer Data

    stat.ML 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    FairBED quantifies dataset fairness as uninformative about sensitive attributes and uses fairness-aware BED to gather data yielding better fairness-accuracy trade-offs than random or standard BED acquisition.
