摘要
设 为遵循某联合分布 的三元组,其中 为特征向量, 为敏感属性, 为目标变量。不产生差别对待的贝叶斯最优预测 定义为 。我们给出一个非平凡的预测 示例,其满足两种常见的组公平概念:人口均等(Demographic Parity)\begin{align} (f(X) | S = 1) &\stackrel{d}{=} (f(X) | S = 2) \end{align} 与均衡组间风险(Equal Group-Wise Risks)\begin{align} \mathbb{E}[(f^*(X) - f(X))^2 | S = 1] = \mathbb{E}[(f^*(X) - f(X))^2 | S = 2]. \end{align} 据我们所知,这是首个满足上述条件的非常数预测器的显式构造。我们讨论了该结果对更好理解算法公平数学概念的若干启示。
