Subgroup Fairness, Instantaneous Fairness, and Distributional Repair

The Subgroup Fairness and Instantaneous Fairness algorithms focus on minimizing disparities between different groups over time and across subgroups. These algorithms expand on a conventional fairness model to address scenarios where fairness might vary over different time periods or among subgroups with multiple sensitive attributes.

The Distributional Repair algorithm focuses on conditional independence. The idea is to reduce the correlation between sensitive and non-sensitive features in a dataset through use of an OT plan, increasing fairness in the dataset ahead of training.
