Information Plane Analysis for Dropout Neural Networks

Linara Adilova, Bernhard C. Geiger, Asja Fischer

The information-theoretic framework promises to explain the predictive power of neural networks. In particular, the information plane analysis, which measures mutual information (M…

Cluster Purging: Efficient Outlier Detection based on Rate-Distortion Theory

Maximilian B. Toller, Bernhard C. Geiger, Roman Kern

Rate-distortion theory-based outlier detection builds upon the rationale that a good data compression will encode outliers with unique symbols. Based on this rationale, we propose…

A conceptual model for leaving the data-centric approach in machine learning

Sebastian Scher, Bernhard Geiger, Simone Kopeinik +2

For a long time, machine learning (ML) has been seen as the abstract problem of learning relationships from data independent of the surrounding settings. This has recently been cha…

Robust Bayesian Target Value Optimization

Johannes G. Hoffer, Sascha Ranftl, Bernhard C. Geiger

We consider the problem of finding an input to a stochastic black box function such that the scalar output of the black box function is as close as possible to a target value in th…

Trustworthy Representation Learning via Information Funnels and Bottlenecks

João Machado de Freitas, Bernhard C. Geiger

Ensuring trustworthiness in machine learning -- by balancing utility, fairness, and privacy -- remains a critical challenge, particularly in representation learning. In this work,…

Compressed Hierarchical Representations for Multi-Task Learning and Task Clustering

João Machado de Freitas, Sebastian Berg, Bernhard C. Geiger +1

In this paper, we frame homogeneous-feature multi-task learning (MTL) as a hierarchical representation learning problem, with one task-agnostic and multiple task-specific latent re…
