SOMtime the World Ain$'$t Fair: Violating Fairness Using Self-Organizing Maps
arXiv:2602.18201v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Unsupervised representations are widely assumed to be neutral with respect to sensitive attributes when those attributes are withheld from training. We show that this assumption is false. Using SOMtime, a topology-preserving representation method based on...
Symbolic computation of conservation laws of nonlinear partial differential equations in multi‐dimensions
Abstract A direct method for the computation of polynomial conservation laws of polynomial systems of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) in multi‐dimensions is presented. The method avoids advanced differential‐geometric tools. Instead, it is solely based on calculus, variational calculus, and...
