Fairness Beyond Demographics: Optimizing Performance Across Appearance-Based Hidden Cohorts in Medical Imaging 事件

Fairness Beyond Demographics: Optimizing Performance Across Appearance-Based Hidden Cohorts in Medical Imaging arXiv:2605.29827v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Medical image analysis models can exhibit performance disparities across patient subgroups, threatening clinical safety and fairness. Existing methods typically address this issue by optimizing accuracy and fairness metrics for visible demographic attributes (e.g., sex or age) considered in isolation. This strategy not only overlooks pote
