An overview of fairness in clustering

A Chhabra, K Masalkovaitė, P Mohapatra - IEEE Access, 2021 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Clustering algorithms are a class of unsupervised machine learning (ML) algorithms that
feature ubiquitously in modern data science, and play a key role in many learning-based …

Approximation algorithms for fair range clustering

SS Hotegni, S Mahabadi… - … Conference on Machine …, 2023 - proceedings.mlr.press
This paper studies the fair range clustering problem in which the data points are from
different demographic groups and the goal is to pick $ k $ centers with the minimum …

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 …

Learning informative representation for fairness-aware multivariate time-series forecasting: A group-based perspective

H He, Q Zhang, S Wang, K Yi, Z Niu… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2023 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Multivariate time series (MTS) forecasting penetrates various aspects of our economy and
society, whose roles become increasingly recognized. However, often MTS forecasting is …

A scalable algorithm for individually fair k-means clustering

MH Bateni, V Cohen-Addad… - International …, 2024 - proceedings.mlr.press
We present a scalable algorithm for the individually fair ($ p $, $ k $)-clustering problem
introduced by Jung et al. and Mahabadi et al. Given $ n $ points $ P $ in a metric space, let …

Proportional fairness in clustering: A social choice perspective

L Kellerhals, J Peters - Advances in Neural Information …, 2025 - proceedings.neurips.cc
We study the proportional clustering problem of Chen et al.(ICML'19) and relate it to the area
of multiwinner voting in computational social choice. We show that any clustering satisfying …

Constant approximation for individual preference stable clustering

A Aamand, J Chen, A Liu, S Silwal… - Advances in …, 2023 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Individual preference (IP) stability, introduced by Ahmadi et al.(ICML 2022), is a natural
clustering objective inspired by stability and fairness constraints. A clustering is $\alpha $-IP …

Near-Optimal Explainable k-Means for All Dimensions

M Charikar, L Hu - Proceedings of the 2022 Annual ACM-SIAM …, 2022 - SIAM
Many clustering algorithms are guided by certain cost functions such as the widely-used k-
means cost. These algorithms divide data points into clusters with often complicated …

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 …

Modification-fair cluster editing

V Froese, L Kellerhals, R Niedermeier - Social Network Analysis and …, 2024 - Springer
Abstract The classic Cluster Editing problem (also known as Correlation Clustering) asks to
transform a given graph into a disjoint union of cliques (clusters) by a small number of edge …
