Fairness Constraints in High-Dimensional Generalized Linear Models

Machine learning models often inherit biases from historical data, raising critical concerns about fairness and accountability. Conventional fairness interventions typically require access to sensitive attributes like gender or race, but privacy and legal restrictions frequently limit their use. To address this challenge, we propose a framework that infers sensitive attributes from auxiliary features and integrates fairness constraints into model training. Our approach mitigates bias while preserving predictive accuracy, offering a practical solution for fairness-aware learning. Empirical evaluations validate its effectiveness, contributing to the advancement of more equitable algorithmic decision-making.
