CatRAG доказал: справедливый ИИ — это не этика, а математическая проблема

arXiv:2603.21524v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are deployed in high-stakes settings but can show demographic, gender, and geographic biases that undermine fairness and trust. Prior debiasing methods, including embedding-space projections, prompt-based steering, and causal interventions, often act at a single stage of the pipeline, resulting in incomplete mitigation and brittle utility trade-offs under distribution shifts. We propose CatRAG Debiasing, a dual-pronged framework that integrates functor with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) guided structural debiasing. The functor component leverages category-theoretic structure to induce a principled, structure-preserving projection that suppresses bias-associated directions in the embedding space while retaining task-relevant semantics. On the Bias Benchmark for Question Answering (BBQ) across three open-source LLMs (Meta Llama-3, OpenAI GPT-OSS, and Google Gemma-3), CatRAG achieves state-of-the-art results, improving accuracy by up to 40% over the corresponding base models and by more than 10% over prior debiasing methods, while reducing bias scores to near zero (from 60% for the base models) across gender, nationality, race, and intersectional subgroups.
