Impossibility Theorems for Feature Attribution
Blair Bilodeau, Natasha Jaques, Pang Wei Koh +1
Despite a sea of interpretability methods that can produce plausible explanations, the field has also empirically seen many failure cases of such methods. In light of these results…
On the Tightness of the Laplace Approximation for Statistical Inference
Blair Bilodeau, Yanbo Tang, Alex Stringer
Laplace's method is used to approximate intractable integrals in a statistical problems. The relative error rate of the approximation is not worse than . We provide th…
Asymptotics of numerical integration for two-level mixed models
Alex Stringer, Blair Bilodeau, Yanbo Tang
We study mixed models with a single grouping factor, where inference about unknown parameters requires optimizing a marginal likelihood defined by an intractable integral. Low-dime…
Adaptively Exploiting d-Separators with Causal Bandits
Blair Bilodeau, Linbo Wang, Daniel M. Roy
Multi-armed bandit problems provide a framework to identify the optimal intervention over a sequence of repeated experiments. Without additional assumptions, minimax optimal perfor…
