ACE: Explaining cluster from an adversarial perspective

ICML 2021spotlight

A common workflow in single-cell RNA-seq analysis is to project the data to a latent space, cluster the cells in that space, and identify sets of marker genes that explain the differences among the discovered clusters. A primary drawback to this three-step procedure is that each step is carried out…

DANCE: Enhancing saliency maps using decoys

ICML 2021spotlight

Saliency methods can make deep neural network predictions more interpretable by identifying a set of critical features in an input sample, such as pixels that contribute most strongly to a prediction made by an image classifier. Unfortunately, recent evidence suggests that many saliency methods poor…

DeepPINK: reproducible feature selection in deep neural networks

NeurIPS 2018poster

Deep learning has become increasingly popular in both supervised and unsupervised machine learning thanks to its outstanding empirical performance. However, because of their intrinsic complexity, most deep learning methods are largely treated as black box tools with little interpretability. Even tho…

Submodular Maximization via Gradient Ascent: The Case of Deep Submodular Functions

NeurIPS 2018poster

We study the problem of maximizing deep submodular functions (DSFs) subject to a matroid constraint. DSFs are an expressive class of submodular functions that include, as strict subfamilies, the facility location, weighted coverage, and sums of concave composed with modular functions. We use a strat…
