Fair Feature Importance Scores via Feature Occlusion and Permutation
Camille Little, Madeline Navarro, Santiago Segarra +1
As machine learning models increasingly impact society, their opaque nature poses challenges to trust and accountability, particularly in fairness contexts. Understanding how indiv…
Stationarity and Spectral Characterization of Random Signals on Simplicial Complexes
Madeline Navarro, Andrei Buciulea, Santiago Segarra +1
It is increasingly common for data to possess intricate structure, necessitating new models and analytical tools. Graphs, a prominent type of structure, can encode the relationship…
Learning Time-Varying Turn-Taking Behavior in Group Conversations
Madeline Navarro, Lisa O'Bryan, Santiago Segarra
We propose a flexible probabilistic model for predicting turn-taking patterns in group conversations based solely on individual characteristics and past speaking behavior. Many mod…
Estimating Fair Graphs from Graph-Stationary Data
Madeline Navarro, Andrei Buciulea, Samuel Rey +2
We estimate fair graphs from graph-stationary nodal observations such that connections are not biased with respect to sensitive attributes. Edges in real-world graphs often exhibit…
Adaptive Graph Coarsening for Efficient GNN Training
Rostyslav Olshevskyi, Madeline Navarro, Santiago Segarra
We propose an adaptive graph coarsening method to jointly learn graph neural network (GNN) parameters and merge nodes via K-means clustering during training. As real-world graphs g…
Adapting to Heterophilic Graph Data with Structure-Guided Neighbor Discovery
Victor M. Tenorio, Madeline Navarro, Samuel Rey +2
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) often struggle with heterophilic data, where connected nodes may have dissimilar labels, as they typically assume homophily and rely on local message p…
