We focus on the problem of training deep image classification models for a small number of extremely rare categories. In this common, real-world scenario, almost all images belong to the background category in the dataset. We find that state-of-the-art approaches for training on imbalanced datasets…
Many real-world ML deployments face the challenge of training a rare category model with a small labeling bud- get. In these settings, there is often access to large amounts of unlabeled data, therefore it is attractive to consider semi-supervised or active learning approaches to reduce human labeli…
For machine learning models trained with limited labeled training data, validation stands to become the main bottleneck to reducing overall annotation costs. We propose a statistical validation algorithm that accurately estimates the F-score of binary classifiers for rare categories, where finding r…
Machine learning models are often deployed in different settings than they were trained and validated on, posing a challenge to practitioners who wish to predict how well the deployed model will perform on a target distribution. If an unlabeled sample from the target distribution is available, along…
