CIPHER: Causal Intervention Pathways for Healthcare Equity and Robustness

arXiv:2607.02596v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deep learning models for medical diagnosis frequently exhibit substantial performance disparities across sensitive subgroups (e.g., race, sex), even when average accuracy is high. While generative data augmentation offers a route to mitigate this, existing strategies are suboptimal; they typically address only one or two dependency channels between sensitive attributes and image features. We formalize the medical image formation process via a struc...
