Structured Evaluation of Synthetic Tabular Data

no code implementations15 Mar 2024 Scott Cheng-Hsin Yang, Baxter Eaves, Michael Schmidt, Ken Swanson, Patrick Shafto

Many metrics exist for evaluating the quality of synthetic tabular data; however, we lack an objective, coherent interpretation of the many metrics.

Coupled Variational Autoencoder

no code implementations5 Jun 2023 Xiaoran Hao, Patrick Shafto

Variational auto-encoders are powerful probabilistic models in generative tasks but suffer from generating low-quality samples which are caused by the holes in the prior.

Evolution of beliefs in social networks

no code implementations26 May 2022 Pushpi Paranamana, Pei Wang, Patrick Shafto

Evolution of beliefs of a society are a product of interactions between people (horizontal transmission) in the society over generations (vertical transmission).

A Psychological Theory of Explainability

no code implementations17 May 2022 Scott Cheng-Hsin Yang, Tomas Folke, Patrick Shafto

The goal of explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is to generate human-interpretable explanations, but there are no computationally precise theories of how humans interpret AI generated explanations.

On Connecting Deep Trigonometric Networks with Deep Gaussian Processes: Covariance, Expressivity, and Neural Tangent Kernel

no code implementations14 Mar 2022 Chi-Ken Lu, Patrick Shafto

With Bochner's theorem, DGP with squared exponential kernel can be viewed as a deep trigonometric network consisting of the random feature layers, sine and cosine activation units, and random weight layers.

Infant directed speech is consistent with teaching

no code implementations1 Jun 2016 Baxter S. Eaves Jr., Naomi H. Feldman, Thomas L. Griffiths, Patrick Shafto

We qualitatively compare the simulated teaching data with human IDS, finding that the teaching data exhibit many features of IDS, including some that have been taken as evidence IDS is not for teaching.
