GRoFA: Noise-Gated Adapters for Jointly Fair and Robust Face Embeddings

Amu Suemoto, Yutaka Arakawa, Tsunenori Mine

GRoFA uses noise-gated adapters to improve both demographic fairness and noise robustness in face embeddings. It adapts frozen BLIP, CLIP, and DINOv2 encoders with a small number of trainable parameters. The official repository includes training and evaluation code, experimental logs, and a supplementary appendix.
