Improved approximation algorithms for individually fair clustering

A Vakilian, M Yalciner - International conference on artificial …, 2022 - proceedings.mlr.press
We consider the $ k $-clustering problem with $\ell_p $-norm cost, which includes $ k $-
median, $ k $-means and $ k $-center, under an individual notion of fairness proposed by …

Parameterized approximation schemes for clustering with general norm objectives

Tight fpt approximation for socially fair clustering

D Goyal, R Jaiswal - Information Processing Letters, 2023 - Elsevier
In this work, we study the socially fair k-median/k-means problem. We are given a set of
points P in a metric space X with a distance function d (.,.). There are ℓ groups: P 1,…, P ℓ⊆ …

Fair rank aggregation

D Chakraborty, S Das, A Khan… - Advances in Neural …, 2022 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Ranking algorithms find extensive usage in diverse areas such as web search, employment,

Individual preference stability for clustering

S Ahmadi, P Awasthi, S Khuller, M Kleindessner… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
In this paper, we propose a natural notion of individual preference (IP) stability for clustering,
which asks that every data point, on average, is closer to the points in its own cluster than to …

Which norm is the fairest? Approximations for fair facility location across all ""

S Gupta, J Moondra, M Singh - arxiv preprint arxiv:2211.14873, 2022 - arxiv.org
Fair facility location problems try to balance access costs to open facilities borne by different
groups of people by minimizing the $ L_p $ norm of these group distances. However, there …

Efficient algorithms for fair clustering with a new notion of fairness

S Gupta, G Ghalme, NC Krishnan, S Jain - Data Mining and Knowledge …, 2023 - Springer
We revisit the problem of fair clustering, first introduced by Chierichetti et al.(Fair clustering
through fairlets, 2017), which requires each protected attribute to have approximately equal …

On Socially Fair Low-Rank Approximation and Column Subset Selection

Z Song, A Vakilian, D Woodruff… - Advances in Neural …, 2025 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Low-rank approximation and column subset selection are two fundamental and related
problems that are applied across a wealth of machine learning applications. In this paper …
