The field of machine learning is moving towards a more responsible and privacy-focused approach. Researchers are exploring ways to embed fairness, transparency, and privacy considerations directly into the learning process, rather than treating them as aftermarket add-ons. This includes the use of techniques such as differential privacy, federated learning, and zero-knowledge proofs to protect sensitive information and prevent harm. Noteworthy papers in this area include:
- A Scalable System to Prove Machine Learning Fairness in Zero-Knowledge, which proposes a system for proving machine learning fairness in zero-knowledge.
- Toward Fair Federated Learning under Demographic Disparities and Data Imbalance, which introduces a framework-agnostic method for fair federated learning.
- A Federated Random Forest Solution for Secure Distributed Machine Learning, which presents a federated learning framework for Random Forest classifiers that preserves data privacy.
