Adversarial Debiasing

Adversarial debiasing aims to mitigate biases in machine learning models, ensuring fairer and more equitable outcomes across different demographic groups. Current research focuses on developing and refining adversarial training techniques, often incorporating generative adversarial networks (GANs) or employing specialized architectures like fair message passing (FMP) within graph neural networks (GNNs) to address biases in various data types, including images, text, and graph data. This work is crucial for improving the trustworthiness and reliability of AI systems across diverse applications, particularly in sensitive domains like healthcare and finance, where biased predictions can have significant real-world consequences. The ultimate goal is to achieve a balance between model accuracy and fairness, minimizing the impact of spurious correlations and promoting equitable outcomes.
