Unbiased Regression-Adjusted Estimation of Average Treatment Effects in Randomized Controlled Trials
Alberto Abadie, Mehrdad Ghadiri, Ali Jadbabaie +1
This article introduces a leave-one-out regression adjustment (LOORA) for estimating average treatment effects in randomized controlled trials. In finite samples, LOORA removes the…
Aligning Visual Contrastive learning models via Preference Optimization
Amirabbas Afzali, Borna Khodabandeh, Ali Rasekh +3
Contrastive learning models have demonstrated impressive abilities to capture semantic similarities by aligning representations in the embedding space. However, their performance c…
Robust Semi-supervised Learning via -Divergence and -Rényi Divergence
Gholamali Aminian, Amirhossien Bagheri, Mahyar JafariNodeh +2
This paper investigates a range of empirical risk functions and regularization methods suitable for self-training methods in semi-supervised learning. These approaches draw inspira…
Belief Samples Are All You Need For Social Learning
Mahyar JafariNodeh, Amir Ajorlou, Ali Jadbabaie
In this paper, we consider the problem of social learning, where a group of agents embedded in a social network are interested in learning an underlying state of the world. Agents…
