Worst-Case Convergence Time of ML Algorithms via Extreme Value Theory

no code implementations10 Apr 2024 Saeid Tizpaz-Niari, Sriram Sankaranarayanan

On the set of larger machine learning training algorithms and deep neural network inference, we show the feasibility and usefulness of EVT models to accurately predict WCCTs, their expected return periods, and their likelihood.

On the Potential and Limitations of Few-Shot In-Context Learning to Generate Metamorphic Specifications for Tax Preparation Software

no code implementations20 Nov 2023 Dananjay Srinivas, Rohan Das, Saeid Tizpaz-Niari, Ashutosh Trivedi, Maria Leonor Pacheco

Due to the ever-increasing complexity of income tax laws in the United States, the number of US taxpayers filing their taxes using tax preparation software (henceforth, tax software) continues to increase.

FairLay-ML: Intuitive Remedies for Unfairness in Data-Driven Social-Critical Algorithms

no code implementations11 Jul 2023 Normen Yu, Gang Tan, Saeid Tizpaz-Niari

This thesis explores open-sourced machine learning (ML) model explanation tools to understand whether these tools can allow a layman to visualize, understand, and suggest intuitive remedies to unfairness in ML-based decision-support systems.

Information-Theoretic Testing and Debugging of Fairness Defects in Deep Neural Networks

no code implementations9 Apr 2023 Verya Monjezi, Ashutosh Trivedi, Gang Tan, Saeid Tizpaz-Niari

Guided by the quantitative fairness, we present a causal debugging framework to localize inadequately trained layers and neurons responsible for fairness defects.

Fairness-aware Configuration of Machine Learning Libraries

2 code implementations13 Feb 2022 Saeid Tizpaz-Niari, Ashish Kumar, Gang Tan, Ashutosh Trivedi

This paper investigates the parameter space of machine learning (ML) algorithms in aggravating or mitigating fairness bugs.

Detecting and Understanding Real-World Differential Performance Bugs in Machine Learning Libraries

no code implementations3 Jun 2020 Saeid Tizpaz-Niari, Pavol Cerný, Ashutosh Trivedi

On a set of micro-benchmarks, we show that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art fuzzers in finding inputs to characterize the differential performance.

Efficient Detection and Quantification of Timing Leaks with Neural Networks

no code implementations23 Jul 2019 Saeid Tizpaz-Niari, Pavol Cerny, Sriram Sankaranarayanan, Ashutosh Trivedi

As demonstrated in our experiments, both of these tasks are feasible in practice --- making the approach a significant improvement over the state-of-the-art side channel detectors and quantifiers.

Quantitative Mitigation of Timing Side Channels

no code implementations21 Jun 2019 Saeid Tizpaz-Niari, Pavol Cerny, Ashutosh Trivedi

In contrast to the existing mitigation approaches, we show that in the functional-observation threat model, SCHMIT is scalable and able to maximize confidentiality under the performance overhead bound.

Data-Driven Debugging for Functional Side Channels

no code implementations30 Aug 2018 Saeid Tizpaz-Niari, Pavol Cerny, Ashutosh Trivedi

On the realistic programs, we show the scalability of FUCHSIA in analyzing functional side channels in Java programs with thousands of methods.

Differential Performance Debugging with Discriminant Regression Trees

no code implementations11 Nov 2017 Saeid Tizpaz-Niari, Pavol Cerny, Bor-Yuh Evan Chang, Ashutosh Trivedi

We propose a data-driven technique based on discriminant regression tree (DRT) learning problem where the goal is to discriminate among different classes of inputs.

Discriminating Traces with Time

no code implementations23 Feb 2017 Saeid Tizpaz-Niari, Pavol Cerny, Bor-Yuh Evan Chang, Sriram Sankaranarayanan, Ashutosh Trivedi

What properties about the internals of a program explain the possible differences in its overall running time for different inputs?
