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.

The how, what, and why of Snorkel’s programmatic data labeling approach and the state-of-the-art Snorkel Flow platform. The year was 2015. For the first time, machine learning (ML) had outperformed humans in the annual ImageNet challenge.

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…

In this episode of Science Talks, Snorkel AI’s Braden Hancock chats with Jason Fries – a research scientist at Stanford University’s Biomedical Informatics Research lab and Snorkel Research, and one of the first contributors to the Snorkel open-source library. We discuss Jason’s path into machine learning, empowering doctors and scientists with weak supervision, and utilizing organizational resources in biomedical applications of Snorkel. This episode is part…
