Title: MIFair: A Mutual-Information Framework for Intersectionality and Multiclass Fairness

Abstract:
arXiv:2604.28030v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fairness in machine learning remains challenging due to its ethical complexity, the absence of a universal definition, and the need for context-specific bias metrics. Existing methods still struggle with intersectionality, multiclass settings, and limited flexibility and generality. To address these gaps, we introduce MIFair, a unified framework for bias assessment and mitigation based on mutual information. MIFair provides a flexible metric temp
