Abstract: LLMs can exhibit age biases, resulting in unequal treatment of individuals across age groups. While much research has addressed racial and gender biases, age bias remains little explored. The scarcity of instruction-tuning and preference datasets for age bias hampers its detection and measurement, and existing fine-tuning methods seldom address age-related fairness. In this paper, we construct age bias preference datasets and instruction-tuning datasets for RLHF. We introduce ARG, an age fairness reward to reduce differences in the response quality of LLMs across different age groups. Extensive experiments demonstrate that this reward significantly improves response accuracy and reduces performance disparities across age groups. Our source code and datasets are available at the anonymous \href{https://anonymous.4open.science/r/FairRLHF-D445/readme.md}{link}.

Reward-Augmented Data Enhances Direct Preference Alignment of LLMs [63.32585910975191]
We introduce reward-conditioned Large Language Models (LLMs) that learn from the entire spectrum of response quality within the dataset. We propose an effective yet simple data relabeling method that conditions the preference pairs on quality scores to construct a reward-augmented dataset.

The Generation Gap: Exploring Age Bias in the Value Systems of Large Language Models [26.485974783643464]
We find a general inclination of Large Language Models (LLMs) values towards younger demographics, especially when compared to the US population. Although a general inclination can be observed, we also found that this inclination toward younger groups can be different across different value categories.

ROBBIE: Robust Bias Evaluation of Large Generative Language Models [27.864027322486375]
Different prompt-based datasets can be used to measure social bias across multiple text domains and demographic axes. We compare 6 different prompt-based bias and toxicity metrics across 12 demographic axes and 5 families of generative LLMs. We conduct a comprehensive study of how well 3 bias/toxicity mitigation techniques perform across our suite of measurements.

Investigating Subtler Biases in LLMs: Ageism, Beauty, Institutional, and Nationality Bias in Generative Models [0.0]
This paper investigates bias along less-studied but still consequential, dimensions, such as age and beauty. We ask whether LLMs hold wide-reaching biases of positive or negative sentiment for specific social groups similar to the "what is beautiful is good" bias found in people in experimental psychology.

Chasing Fairness Under Distribution Shift: A Model Weight Perturbation Approach [72.19525160912943]
We first theoretically demonstrate the inherent connection between distribution shift, data perturbation, and model weight perturbation. We then analyze the sufficient conditions to guarantee fairness for the target dataset. Motivated by these sufficient conditions, we propose robust fairness regularization (RFR)

Balancing Biases and Preserving Privacy on Balanced Faces in the Wild [50.915684171879036]
There are demographic biases present in current facial recognition (FR) models. We introduce our Balanced Faces in the Wild dataset to measure these biases across different ethnic and gender subgroups. We find that relying on a single score threshold to differentiate between genuine and imposters sample pairs leads to suboptimal results. We propose a novel domain adaptation learning scheme that uses facial features extracted from state-of-the-art neural networks.

Enhancing Facial Data Diversity with Style-based Face Aging [59.984134070735934]
In particular, face datasets are typically biased in terms of attributes such as gender, age, and race. We propose a novel, generative style-based architecture for data augmentation that captures fine-grained aging patterns. We show that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms for age transfer.
