  • Federated Measurement of Demographic Disparities from Quantile Sketches

    Federated Measurement of Demographic Disparities from Quantile Sketches arXiv:2602.18870v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many fairness goals are defined at a population level that misaligns with siloed data collection, which remains unsharable due to privacy regulations. Horizontal federated learning (FL) enables collaborative modeling across clients with aligned features without sharing raw data. We study federated auditing…

  • Decomposing Direct and Indirect Biases in Linear Models under Demographic Parity Constraint

    Decomposing Direct and Indirect Biases in Linear Models under Demographic Parity Constraint arXiv:2511.11294v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Linear models are widely used in high-stakes decision-making due to their simplicity and interpretability. Yet when fairness constraints such as demographic parity are introduced, their effects on model coefficients, and thus on how predictive bias is distributed across…
