New research paper explores fairness and prediction guarantees in machine learning

A new research paper titled "Multigroup Fairness and Omniprediction: Separations and Equivalences" explores the relationship between multigroup fairness notions and learning guarantees in machine learning. The paper investigates whether omniprediction, a guarantee that a single predictor performs well across various losses, necessitates multigroup fairness. The authors demonstrate that while omniprediction does not require multigroup fairness, a stronger notion called Loss Outcome Indistinguishability is equivalent to a form of calibrated multiaccuracy.

    Multigroup Fairness and Omniprediction: Separations and Equivalences

    arXiv:2610.07374v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Omniprediction is a learning guarantee which requires a single predictor to be competitive relative to the best hypothesis from a benchmark class for any loss chosen from a family of loss functions. Loss Outcome Indistinguishability…
