FairSAM: Fair Classification on Corrupted Image Data Through Sharpness-Aware Minimization

Researchers introduce FairSAM, a machine learning framework that addresses the challenge of maintaining both robustness and fairness in image classification when data is corrupted by noise. The approach integrates fairness-oriented strategies into Sharpness-Aware Minimization to prevent performance degradation from disproportionately affecting demographic subgroups, balancing two typically competing objectives in AI model design.
