FairPFN: A Tabular Foundation Model for Causal Fairness

ICML 2025poster

Machine learning (ML) systems are utilized in critical sectors such as healthcare, law enforcement, and finance, but often rely on historical data that contains demographic biases, leading to decisions that perpetuate or intensify existing inequalities. Causal and counterfactual fairness provide a t…

Speeding Up Multi-Objective Hyperparameter Optimization by Task Similarity-Based Meta-Learning for the Tree-Structured Parzen Estimator

IJCAI 2023poster

Hyperparameter optimization (HPO) is a vital step in improving performance in deep learning (DL). Practitioners are often faced with the trade-off between multiple criteria, such as accuracy and latency. Given the high computational needs of DL and the growing demand for efficient HPO, the accelerat…

DEHB: Evolutionary Hyberband for Scalable, Robust and Efficient Hyperparameter Optimization

IJCAI 2021poster

Modern machine learning algorithms crucially rely on several design decisions to achieve strong performance, making the problem of Hyperparameter Optimization (HPO) more important than ever. Here, we combine the advantages of the popular bandit-based HPO method Hyperband (HB) and the evolutionary se…
