We define and advance data and environments to push the AI frontier

Complex biological, neuroscience, geoscience and social networks exhibit heterogeneous self-similar higher order topological structures that are usually characterized as being multifractal in nature. However, describing their topological complexity through a compact mathematical description and deciphering their topological governing rules has remained elusive and prevented a comprehensive understanding of networks. To overcome this challenge, we propose a weighted multifractal graph model…

Join the live discussion. Learn how to unlock data-centric AI and make AI development practical in your organization Working with vast unstructured and unlabeled data is one of the bottlenecks in the machine learning lifecycle. Machine learning models can only get as reliable and accurate as the data being fed to them. With a data-centric approach 1, your data science…

Machine Learning Whiteboard (MLW) Open-source Series Earlier this year, we started our machine learning whiteboard (MLW) series, an open-invite space to brainstorm ideas and discuss the latest papers, techniques, and workflows in the AI space. We emphasize an informal and open environment to everyone interested in learning about machine learning.In this episode, Manan Shah dives into “Glean: Structured Extractions from…

This work shows a rigorous technique for efficiently selecting small subsets of the labelers so that a majority vote from such subsets has a provably low error rate.

In this workshop, we want to advance theory, methods and tools for allowing experts to express prior coded knowledge for automatic data annotations that can be used to train arbitrary deep neural networks for prediction. The ICLR 2021 Workshop on Weak Supervision aims at advancing methods that help modern machine-learning methods to generalize from knowledge provided by experts, in interaction…

In many practical few-shot learning problems, even though labeled examples are scarce, there are abundant auxiliary datasets that potentially contain useful information. We propose the problem of extended few-shot learning to study these scenarios. We then introduce a framework to address the challenges of efficiently selecting and effectively using auxiliary data in few-shot image classification. Given a large auxiliary dataset…

Machine learning models are often deployed in different settings than they were trained and validated on, posing a challenge to practitioners who wish to predict how well the deployed model will perform on a target distribution. If an unlabeled sample from the target distribution is available, along with a labeled sample from a possibly different source distribution, standard approaches such…

Machine Learning Whiteboard (MLW) Open-source Series Our machine learning whiteboard (MLW) is an open-invite space to brainstorm ideas and discuss the latest papers, techniques, and workflows in the AI space. We emphasize an informal and open environment to everyone interested in discovering more about machine learning.In this episode, Hiromu Hota, Vincent Sunn Chen, Daniel Y. Fu, and Frederic Sala dive…

In situations where explanations of black-box models may be useful, the fairness of the blackbox is also often a relevant concern. However, the link between the fairness of the black-box model and the behavior of explanations for the black-box is unclear. We focus on explanations applied to tabular datasets, suggesting that explanations do not necessarily preserve the fairness properties of…
