When majority rules, minority loses: bias amplification of gradient descent

NeurIPS 2025poster

Despite growing empirical evidence of bias amplification in machine learning, its theoretical foundations remain poorly understood. We develop a formal framework for majority-minority learning tasks, showing how standard training can favor majority groups and produce stereotypical predictors that ne…

On the complexity of nonsmooth automatic differentiation

ICLR 2023top-25%

Using the notion of conservative gradient, we provide a simple model to estimate the computational costs of the backward and forward modes of algorithmic differentiation for a wide class of nonsmooth programs. The complexity overhead of the backward mode turns out to be independent of the dimension…
