Learning Global Transparent Models Consistent with Local Contrastive Explanations

no code implementations NeurIPS 2020 Tejaswini Pedapati, Avinash Balakrishnan, Karthikeyan Shanmugam, Amit Dhurandhar

Based on a key insight we propose a novel method where we create custom boolean features from sparse local contrastive explanations of the black-box model and then train a globally transparent model on just these, and showcase empirically that such models have higher local consistency compared with other known strategies, while still being close in performance to models that are trained with access to the original data.

Infusing Knowledge into the Textual Entailment Task Using Graph Convolutional Networks

no code implementations5 Nov 2019 Pavan Kapanipathi, Veronika Thost, Siva Sankalp Patel, Spencer Whitehead, Ibrahim Abdelaziz, Avinash Balakrishnan, Maria Chang, Kshitij Fadnis, Chulaka Gunasekara, Bassem Makni, Nicholas Mattei, Kartik Talamadupula, Achille Fokoue

A few approaches have shown that information from external knowledge sources like knowledge graphs (KGs) can add value, in addition to the textual content, by providing background knowledge that may be critical for a task.

Model Agnostic Contrastive Explanations for Structured Data

no code implementations31 May 2019 Amit Dhurandhar, Tejaswini Pedapati, Avinash Balakrishnan, Pin-Yu Chen, Karthikeyan Shanmugam, Ruchir Puri

Recently, a method [7] was proposed to generate contrastive explanations for differentiable models such as deep neural networks, where one has complete access to the model.

Word Mover's Embedding: From Word2Vec to Document Embedding

1 code implementation EMNLP 2018 Lingfei Wu, Ian E. H. Yen, Kun Xu, Fangli Xu, Avinash Balakrishnan, Pin-Yu Chen, Pradeep Ravikumar, Michael J. Witbrock

While the celebrated Word2Vec technique yields semantically rich representations for individual words, there has been relatively less success in extending to generate unsupervised sentences or documents embeddings.

Incorporating Behavioral Constraints in Online AI Systems

no code implementations15 Sep 2018 Avinash Balakrishnan, Djallel Bouneffouf, Nicholas Mattei, Francesca Rossi

To define this agent, we propose to adopt a novel extension to the classical contextual multi-armed bandit setting and we provide a new algorithm called Behavior Constrained Thompson Sampling (BCTS) that allows for online learning while obeying exogenous constraints.

Variational Inference of Disentangled Latent Concepts from Unlabeled Observations

2 code implementations ICLR 2018 Abhishek Kumar, Prasanna Sattigeri, Avinash Balakrishnan

Disentangled representations, where the higher level data generative factors are reflected in disjoint latent dimensions, offer several benefits such as ease of deriving invariant representations, transferability to other tasks, interpretability, etc.
