Slice-based Learning: A Programming Model for Residual Learning in Critical Data Slices

NeurIPS 2019poster

In real-world machine learning applications, data subsets correspond to especially critical outcomes: vulnerable cyclist detections are safety-critical in an autonomous driving task, and "question" sentences might be important to a dialogue agent's language understanding for product purposes. While…

Learning to Compose Domain-Specific Transformations for Data Augmentation

NeurIPS 2017poster

Data augmentation is a ubiquitous technique for increasing the size of labeled training sets by leveraging task-specific data transformations that preserve class labels. While it is often easy for domain experts to specify individual transformations, constructing and tuning the more sophisticated co…

Data Programming: Creating Large Training Sets, Quickly

NeurIPS 2016poster

Large labeled training sets are the critical building blocks of supervised learning methods and are key enablers of deep learning techniques. For some applications, creating labeled training sets is the most time-consuming and expensive part of applying machine learning. We therefore propose a parad…
