DeconDTN-Toolkit: A Library for Evaluation and Enhancement of Robustness to Provenance Shift

Yongsen Tan, Zhecheng Sheng, Xiruo Ding +2

Despite the burgeoning body of work on distribution shifts, provenance shift-where the relationship between data source and label changes at deployment-remains poorly understood an…

When Prompts Interact: Assessing Prompt Arithmetic for Deconfounding under Distribution Shift

Zhecheng Sheng, Yongsen Tan, Xiruo Ding +2

In classification tasks, models may rely on confounding variables to achieve strong in-distribution performance, capturing spurious features that fail under distribution shift. Thi…

Electronic Health Record Phenotyping with Internally Assessable Performance (PhIAP) using Anchor-Positive and Unlabeled Patients

Lingjiao Zhang, Xiruo Ding, Yanyuan Ma +5

Building phenotype models using electronic health record (EHR) data conventionally requires manually labeled cases and controls. Assigning labels is labor intensive and, for some p…
