We develop an algorithm to improve the performance of a pre-trained model under concept shift without retraining the model from scratch when only unannotated samples of initial concepts are accessible. We model this problem as a domain…
Many popular algorithmic fairness measures depend on the joint distribution of predictions, outcomes, and a sensitive feature like race or gender. These measures are sensitive to distribution shift: a predictor which is trained to satisfy…
Fairness in machine learning is crucial when individuals are subject to automated decisions made by models in high-stake domains. Organizations that employ these models may also need to satisfy regulations that promote responsible and…
