Transferring Fairness using Multi-Task Learning with Limited Demographic Information Carlos Alejandro Aguirre, Mark Dredze. Proceedings of the Third Workshop on NLP for Positive Impact. 2024.

Selecting Shots for Demographic Fairness in Few-Shot Learning with Large Language Models Carlos Alejandro Aguirre, Kuleen Sasse, Isabel Alyssa Cachola, Mark Dredze. Proceedings of the Third Workshop on NLP for Positive Impact. 2024.
