Federated Learning (FL) is a novel privacy-protection distributed machine learning paradigm that guarantees user privacy and prevents the risk of data leakage due to the advantage of the client's local training. Researchers have struggled…
Structured pruning is a standard tool for compressing deep neural networks, but its practical performance depends on how sparsity is allocated across layers. We propose FAIR-Pruner, a search-free framework for adaptive layer-wise structured…
A recent trend of fair machine learning is to define fairness as causality-based notions which concern the causal connection between protected attributes and decisions. However, one common challenge of all causality-based fairness notions…
