Interventional Fairness : Causal Database Repair for Algorithmic Fairness
Summary: Introduces interventional fairness by framing algorithmic fairness as a causal database repair problem. Shows sufficient conditions via admissible variables (not full causal models), develops repair algorithms with provable fairness guarantees, and demonstrates improvements on real data.
