• Title: Fair Mixup: Fairness via Interpolation
• Authors: Ching-Yao Chuang, Youssef Mroueh
• Abstract summary: We propose fair mixup, a new data augmentation strategy for imposing the fairness constraint. We show that fairness can be achieved by regularizing the models on paths of interpolated samples between the groups. We empirically show that it ensures a better generalization for both accuracy and fairness measurement in benchmarks.

• Abstract: Training classifiers under fairness constraints such as group fairness, regularizes the disparities of predictions between the groups. Nevertheless, even though the constraints are satisfied during training, they might not generalize at evaluation time. To improve the generalizability of fair classifiers, we propose fair mixup, a new data augmentation strategy for imposing the fairness constraint. In particular, we show that fairness can be achieved by regularizing the models on paths of interpolated samples between the groups. We use mixup, a powerful data augmentation strategy to generate these interpolates. We analyze fair mixup and empirically show that it ensures a better generalization for both accuracy and fairness measurement in tabular, vision, and language benchmarks.

We introduce a formal measure of Distributional Parity, which captures the degree of similarity in the distributions of classifications for different protected groups. Our main result is to put forward a novel post-processing algorithm based on optimal transport, which provably maximizes Distributional Parity.
