A Comprehensive View of Fairness through Distributional Stability

Gayane Taturyan, Charlotte Laclau, Stephan Clémencon

We view fairness as a property of distributional stability. Rather than assessing a predictor under a fixed data distribution, we study how its predictions change under perturbatio…

Doing well with less! On Sampling Techniques for Empirical Pairwise Loss Estimation/Minimization

Louise Davy, Stephan Clémençon, Charlotte Laclau

Many machine learning problems, including similarity learning, ranking, and clustering, rely on empirical pairwise loss functions whose quadratic computational cost quickly becomes…

On Gossip Algorithms for Machine Learning with Pairwise Objectives

Igor Colin, Aurélien Bellet, Stephan Clémençon +1

In the IoT era, information is more and more frequently picked up by connected smart sensors with increasing, though limited, storage, communication and computation abilities. Whet…

Active Bipartite Ranking with Smooth Posterior Distributions

James Cheshire, Stephan Clémençon

In this article, bipartite ranking, a statistical learning problem involved in many applications and widely studied in the passive context, is approached in a much more general \te…

Beyond Kemeny Medians: Consensus Ranking Distributions Definition, Properties and Statistical Learning

Stephan Clémençon, Ekhine Irurozki

In this article we develop a new method for summarizing a ranking distribution, \textit{i.e.} a probability distribution on the symmetric group , beyond the classic…

Weak Signals and Heavy Tails: Learning Theory meets Extreme Value Analysis

Stephan Clémençon, Anne Sabourin

The masses of data now available have opened up the prospect of discovering weak signals using machine-learning algorithms, with a view to predictive or interpretation tasks. As th…

On Ranking-based Tests of Independence

Myrto Limnios, Stéphan Clémençon

In this paper we develop a novel nonparametric framework to test the independence of two random variables and with unknown respective marginals an…

A Bipartite Ranking Approach to the Two-Sample Problem

Stephan Clémençon, Myrto Limnios, Nicolas Vayatis

The two-sample problem, which consists in testing whether independent samples on are drawn from the same (unknown) distribution, finds applications in many areas. It…

Concentration Inequalities for Two-Sample Rank Processes with Application to Bipartite Ranking

Stéphan Clémençon, Myrto Limnios, Nicolas Vayatis

The ROC curve is the gold standard for measuring the performance of a test/scoring statistic regarding its capacity to discriminate between two statistical populations in a wide va…
