The density ratio of two probability distributions is one of the fundamental tools in mathematical and computational statistics and machine learning, and it has a variety of known applications. Therefore, density ratio estimation from finite samples is a very important task, but it is known to be un…
The Bregman divergence, which is generated from a convex function, is commonly used as a pseudo-distance for comparing vectors or functions in continuous spaces. In contrast, defining an analog of the Bregman divergence for discrete spaces is nontrivial. Iyer & Bilmes (2012b) considered Bregman dive…
Techniques that explain the predictions of black-box machine learning models are crucial to make the models transparent, thereby increasing trust in AI systems. The input features to the models often have a nested structure that consists of high- and low-level features, and each high-level feature i
Label shift adaptation aims to recover target class priors when the labelled source distribution $P$ and the unlabelled target distribution $Q$ share $P(X \mid Y) = Q(X \mid Y)$ but $P(Y) \neq Q(Y)$. Classical black‑box shift estimators invert an empirical confusion matrix of a frozen classifier, pr…
