Understanding prompt engineering may not require rethinking generalization

ICLR 2024poster

Zero-shot learning in prompted vision-language models, the practice of crafting prompts to build classifiers without an explicit training process, has achieved impressive performance in many settings. This success presents a seemingly surprising observation: these methods suffer relatively little fr…

Using Causal Inference to Investigate Contraceptive Discontinuation in Sub-Saharan Africa

IJCAI 2024poster

Discontinuation rates vary by family planning method and across socio-economic contexts. Understanding these variations and their causes is paramount for developing and implementing policies aimed at curbing discontinuation rates. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are ideal for obtaining this info…

Partial disentanglement for domain adaptation

ICML 2022spotlight

Unsupervised domain adaptation is critical to many real-world applications where label information is unavailable in the target domain. In general, without further assumptions, the joint distribution of the features and the label is not identifiable in the target domain. To address this issue, we re…

Decision Platform for Pattern Discovery and Causal Effect Estimation in Contraceptive Discontinuation

IJCAI 2020poster

Contraceptive use improves the health of women and children in several ways, yet data shows high rates of discontinuation which is not well understood. We introduce an AI-based decision platform capable of analyzing event data to identify patterns of contraceptive uptake that are unique to a subpopu…

Detecting Adversarial Attacks via Subset Scanning of Autoencoder Activations and Reconstruction Error

IJCAI 2020poster

Reliably detecting attacks in a given set of inputs is of high practical relevance because of the vulnerability of neural networks to adversarial examples. These altered inputs create a security risk in applications with real-world consequences, such as self-driving cars, robotics and financial ser…

Inspection of Blackbox Models for Evaluating Vulnerability in Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health

IJCAI 2020poster

Improving maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) outcomes is a critical target for global sustainable development. Our research is centered on building predictive models, evaluating their interpretability, and generating actionable insights about the markers (features) and triggers (events) asso…
