Discriminative Feature Feedback with General Teacher Classes

Omri Bar Oz, Tosca Lechner, Sivan Sabato

We study the theoretical properties of the interactive learning protocol Discriminative Feature Feedback (DFF) (Dasgupta et al., 2018). The DFF learning protocol uses feedback in t…

On the Learnability of Distribution Classes with Adaptive Adversaries

Tosca Lechner, Alex Bie, Gautam Kamath

We consider the question of learnability of distribution classes in the presence of adaptive adversaries -- that is, adversaries capable of intercepting the samples requested by a…

On the Computability of Multiclass PAC Learning

Pascale Gourdeau, Tosca Lechner, Ruth Urner

We study the problem of computable multiclass learnability within the Probably Approximately Correct (PAC) learning framework of Valiant (1984). In the recently introduced computab…

Score Design for Multi-Criteria Incentivization

Anmol Kabra, Mina Karzand, Tosca Lechner +2

We present a framework for designing scores to summarize performance metrics. Our design has two multi-criteria objectives: (1) improving on scores should improve all performance m…

Distribution Learnability and Robustness

Shai Ben-David, Alex Bie, Gautam Kamath +1

We examine the relationship between learnability and robust (or agnostic) learnability for the problem of distribution learning. We show that, contrary to other learning settings (…

On the Computability of Robust PAC Learning

Pascale Gourdeau, Tosca Lechner, Ruth Urner

We initiate the study of computability requirements for adversarially robust learning. Adversarially robust PAC-type learnability is by now an established field of research. Howeve…

Impossibility of Characterizing Distribution Learning -- a simple solution to a long-standing problem

Tosca Lechner, Shai Ben-David

We consider the long-standing question of finding a parameter of a class of probability distributions that characterizes its PAC learnability. We provide a rather surprising answer…

Learning Losses for Strategic Classification

Tosca Lechner, Ruth Urner

Strategic classification, i.e. classification under possible strategic manipulations of features, has received a lot of attention from both the machine learning and the game theory…

Impossibility results for fair representations

Tosca Lechner, Shai Ben-David, Sushant Agarwal +1

With the growing awareness to fairness in machine learning and the realization of the central role that data representation has in data processing tasks, there is an obvious intere…
