Learned Indexes for a Google-scale Disk-based Database
Hussam Abu-Libdeh, Deniz Altınbüken, Alex Beutel +7
There is great excitement about learned index structures, but understandable skepticism about the practicality of a new method uprooting decades of research on B-Trees. In this pap…
Underspecification Presents Challenges for Credibility in Modern Machine Learning
Alexander D'Amour, Katherine Heller, Dan Moldovan +37
ML models often exhibit unexpectedly poor behavior when they are deployed in real-world domains. We identify underspecification as a key reason for these failures. An ML pipeline i…
CAT-Gen: Improving Robustness in NLP Models via Controlled Adversarial Text Generation
Tianlu Wang, Xuezhi Wang, Yao Qin +5
NLP models are shown to suffer from robustness issues, i.e., a model's prediction can be easily changed under small perturbations to the input. In this work, we present a Controlle…
Measuring and Reducing Gendered Correlations in Pre-trained Models
Kellie Webster, Xuezhi Wang, Ian Tenney +6
Pre-trained models have revolutionized natural language understanding. However, researchers have found they can encode artifacts undesired in many applications, such as professions…
Improving Calibration through the Relationship with Adversarial Robustness
Yao Qin, Xuezhi Wang, Alex Beutel +1
Neural networks lack adversarial robustness, i.e., they are vulnerable to adversarial examples that through small perturbations to inputs cause incorrect predictions. Further, trus…
Fairness without Demographics through Adversarially Reweighted Learning
Preethi Lahoti, Alex Beutel, Jilin Chen +5
Much of the previous machine learning (ML) fairness literature assumes that protected features such as race and sex are present in the dataset, and relies upon them to mitigate fai…
