Stratify or Die: Rethinking Data Splits in Image Segmentation

NeurIPS 2025poster

Random splitting of datasets in image segmentation often leads to unrepresentative test sets, resulting in biased evaluations and poor model generalization. While stratified sampling has proven effective for addressing label distribution imbalance in classification tasks, extending these ideas to se…

Trends, Applications, and Challenges in Human Attention Modelling

IJCAI 2024poster

Human attention modelling has proven, in recent years, to be particularly useful not only for understanding the cognitive processes underlying visual exploration, but also for providing support to artificial intelligence models that aim to solve problems in various domains, including image and video…

$p$-value Adjustment for Monotonous, Unbiased, and Fast Clustering Comparison

NeurIPS 2023poster

Popular metrics for clustering comparison, like the Adjusted Rand Index and the Adjusted Mutual Information, are type II biased. The Standardized Mutual Information removes this bias but suffers from counterintuitive non-monotonicity and poor computational efficiency. We introduce the $p$-value adju…

FastAMI – a Monte Carlo Approach to the Adjustment for Chance in Clustering Comparison Metrics

AAAI 2023technical

Clustering is at the very core of machine learning, and its applications proliferate with the increasing availability of data. However, as datasets grow, comparing clusterings with an adjustment for chance becomes computationally difficult, preventing unbiased ground-truth comparisons and solution s…

Improving Robustness against Real-World and Worst-Case Distribution Shifts through Decision Region Quantification

ICML 2022spotlight

The reliability of neural networks is essential for their use in safety-critical applications. Existing approaches generally aim at improving the robustness of neural networks to either real-world distribution shifts (e.g., common corruptions and perturbations, spatial transformations, and natural a…

Identifying untrustworthy predictions in neural networks by geometric gradient analysis

UAI 2021poster

The susceptibility of deep neural networks to untrustworthy predictions, including out-of-distribution (OOD) data and adversarial examples, still prevent their widespread use in safety-critical applications. Most existing methods either require a retraining of a given model to achieve robust identif…
