Title: Causally Fair Node Classification on Non-IID Graph Data

Abstract:
arXiv:2505.01652v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Fair machine learning seeks to identify and mitigate biases in predictions against unfavorable populations characterized by demographic attributes, such as race and gender. Recent research has extended fairness to graph data, such as social networks, but many studies neglect the causal relationships among data instances. This paper addresses a prevalent challenge in many fair machine learning research, which typically assumes independent
