Structure Learning via Mutual Information
Jeremy Nixon
This paper presents a novel approach to machine learning algorithm design based on information theory, specifically mutual information (MI). We propose a framework for learning and…
What are you optimizing for? Aligning Recommender Systems with Human Values
Jonathan Stray, Ivan Vendrov, Jeremy Nixon +2
We describe cases where real recommender systems were modified in the service of various human values such as diversity, fairness, well-being, time well spent, and factual accuracy…
Semi-Supervised Class Discovery
Jeremy Nixon, Jeremiah Liu, David Berthelot
One promising approach to dealing with datapoints that are outside of the initial training distribution (OOD) is to create new classes that capture similarities in the datapoints p…
Resolving Spurious Correlations in Causal Models of Environments via Interventions
Sergei Volodin, Nevan Wichers, Jeremy Nixon
Causal models bring many benefits to decision-making systems (or agents) by making them interpretable, sample-efficient, and robust to changes in the input distribution. However, s…
Analyzing the Role of Model Uncertainty for Electronic Health Records
Michael W. Dusenberry, Dustin Tran, Edward Choi +5
In medicine, both ethical and monetary costs of incorrect predictions can be significant, and the complexity of the problems often necessitates increasingly complex models. Recent…
Measuring Calibration in Deep Learning
Jeremy Nixon, Mike Dusenberry, Ghassen Jerfel +4
Overconfidence and underconfidence in machine learning classifiers is measured by calibration: the degree to which the probabilities predicted for each class match the accuracy of…
