New Bayesian Bandit Method Selects Fair Classifiers

Researchers have developed a new method for selecting classifiers that adaptively balance predictive performance with subgroup fairness. This approach frames the problem as a Bayesian multi-armed bandit using Thompson Sampling, allowing for delayed observations of true class labels. Empirical evaluations on datasets involving tabular classifiers, large language models, and human labelers show significant reductions in regret compared to existing methods, with theoretical guarantees on the selected agent's performance. AI

IMPACT This method could improve the fairness and efficiency of AI systems that require human or agent labeling.

    Bayesian Learning to Select Fair Classifiers

    arXiv:2610.20514v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Evaluations of classifiers (AI or human or agents) often assume a batch setting in which every agent produces labels on every example in a test set, which can be expensive or impractical in many contexts. This motivates online polic…
