Meaningfully debugging model mistakes using conceptual counterfactual explanations

ICML 2022spotlight

Understanding and explaining the mistakes made by trained models is critical to many machine learning objectives, such as improving robustness, addressing concept drift, and mitigating biases. However, this is often an ad hoc process that involves manually looking at the model’s mistakes on many tes…

Concrete Autoencoders: Differentiable Feature Selection and Reconstruction

ICML 2019oral

We introduce the concrete autoencoder, an end-to-end differentiable method for global feature selection, which efficiently identifies a subset of the most informative features and simultaneously learns a neural network to reconstruct the input data from the selected features. Our method is unsupervi…

Learning a Warping Distance from Unlabeled Time Series Using Sequence Autoencoders

NeurIPS 2018poster

Measuring similarities between unlabeled time series trajectories is an important problem in many domains such as medicine, economics, and vision. It is often unclear what is the appropriate metric to use because of the complex nature of noise in the trajectories (e.g. different sampling rates or ou…
