Evaluating Model Bias Requires Characterizing its Mistakes

ICML 2024poster

The ability to properly benchmark model performance in the face of spurious correlations is important to both build better predictors and increase confidence that models are operating as intended. We demonstrate that characterizing (as opposed to simply quantifying) model mistakes across subgroups i…

Transformers Meet Directed Graphs

ICML 2023poster

Transformers were originally proposed as a sequence-to-sequence model for text but have become vital for a wide range of modalities, including images, audio, video, and undirected graphs. However, transformers for directed graphs are a surprisingly underexplored topic, despite their applicability to…

A Fine-Grained Analysis on Distribution Shift

ICLR 2022oral

Robustness to distribution shifts is critical for deploying machine learning models in the real world. Despite this necessity, there has been little work in defining the underlying mechanisms that cause these shifts and evaluating the robustness of algorithms across multiple, different distribution…

Learning Optimal Conformal Classifiers

ICLR 2022spotlight

Modern deep learning based classifiers show very high accuracy on test data but this does not provide sufficient guarantees for safe deployment, especially in high-stake AI applications such as medical diagnosis. Usually, predictions are obtained without a reliable uncertainty estimate or a formal g…

A generalized Bayesian model for tracking long metrical cycles in acoustic music signals

ICASSP 2016accepted

Most musical phenomena involve repetitive structures that enable listeners to track meter, i.e. the tactus or beat, the longer over-arching measure or bar, and possibly other related layers. Meters with long measure duration, sometimes lasting more than a minute, occur in many music cultures, e.g. f…

Stochastic thermodynamic integration: Efficient Bayesian model selection via stochastic gradient MCMC

ICASSP 2016accepted

Model selection is a central topic in Bayesian machine learning, which requires the estimation of the marginal likelihood of the data under the models to be compared. During the last decade, conventional model selection methods have lost their charm as they have high computational requirements. In t…

Learning mixed divergences in coupled matrix and tensor factorization models

ICASSP 2015accepted

Coupled tensor factorization methods are useful for sensor fusion, combining information from several related datasets by simultaneously approximating them by products of latent tensors. In these methods, the choice of a suitable optimization criteria becomes difficult as observed datasets may have…

Section-level modeling of musical audio for linking performances to scores in Turkish makam music

ICASSP 2015accepted

Section linking aims at relating structural units in the notation of a piece of music to their occurrences in a performance of the piece. In this paper, we address this task by presenting a score-informed hierarchical Hidden Markov Model (HHMM) for modeling musical audio signals on the temporal leve…
