Title: Exploring How Fair Model Representations Relate to Fair Recommendations

Abstract:
arXiv:2603.24396v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: One of the many fairness definitions pursued in recent recommender system research targets mitigating demographic information encoded in model representations. Models optimized for this definition are typically evaluated on how well demographic attributes can be classified given model representations, with the (implicit) assumption that this measure accurately reflects \textit{recommendation parity}, i.e., how similar recommendations given to dif
