Unbiased Binning for Fairness-aware Attribute Representation

Summary: Formulates unbiased and ε-biased binning to enforce group parity in discretized attributes. Develops optimal quadratic-time DP and scalable local-search/divide-and-conquer algorithms, showing substantial bias reduction with negligible fairness cost.
