FairEnc: A Fair Vision-Language Model with Fair Vision and Text Encoders for Glaucoma Detection
Automated glaucoma detection is critical for preventing irreversible vision loss and reducing the burden on healthcare systems. However, ensuring fairness across diverse patient populations remains a significant challenge. In this paper, we propose FairEnc, a fair pretraining method for vision-language models (VLMs) that enables simultaneous debiasing across multiple sensitive attributes. FairEnc jointly mitigates biases in both textual and visual modalities with respect to multiple sensitive at
