Avoiding Structural Failure Modes in Tabular Fair SSL: Online Primal-Dual Allocation under Confidence Gating
Researchers identify critical failure modes in semi-supervised learning (SSL) applied to tabular data with fairness constraints, where fairness regularizers can paradoxically erode model performance. They propose Online Primal-Dual Allocation (OPDA), an adaptive controller that dynamically balances fairness and stability penalties without manual tuning, demonstrating improved robustness across benchmark datasets like Adult, COMPAS, and ACSIncome.
