Learning Invariant Graph Representations Through Redundant Information

Barproda Halder, Pasan Dissanayake, Sanghamitra Dutta

Learning invariant graph representations for out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization remains challenging because the learned representations often retain spurious components. To a…

Towards Formalizing Spuriousness of Biased Datasets Using Partial Information Decomposition

Barproda Halder, Faisal Hamman, Pasan Dissanayake +3

Spuriousness arises when there is an association between two or more variables in a dataset that are not causally related. In this work, we propose an explainability framework to p…

Few-Shot Knowledge Distillation of LLMs With Counterfactual Explanations

Faisal Hamman, Pasan Dissanayake, Yanjun Fu +1

Knowledge distillation is a promising approach to transfer capabilities from complex teacher models to smaller, resource-efficient student models that can be deployed easily, parti…
