New Optimal Transport method ensures group fairness in matching

Researchers have developed a new framework for ensuring fairness in matching algorithms, specifically within the context of Optimal Transport (OT). Their work introduces a novel group fairness constraint that targets the probability of matches between individuals from different groups. The study proposes a modified Sinkhorn algorithm for efficient computation of perfectly fair plans and explores relaxation strategies to balance fairness with matching quality, including penalized OT and bilevel optimization.

    Optimal Transport under Group Fairness Constraints

    arXiv:2601.07144v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Ensuring fairness in matching algorithms is a key challenge in allocating scarce resources and positions. Focusing on Optimal Transport (OT), we introduce a novel notion of group fairness requiring that the probability of matchi…
