Debiased Model-based Interactive Recommendation

no code implementations24 Feb 2024 Zijian Li, Ruichu Cai, Haiqin Huang, Sili Zhang, Yuguang Yan, Zhifeng Hao, Zhenghua Dong

Existing model-based interactive recommendation systems are trained by querying a world model to capture the user preference, but learning the world model from historical logged data will easily suffer from bias issues such as popularity bias and sampling bias.

Federated learning (FL) is an emerging distributed training paradigm that aims to learn a common global model without exchanging or transferring the data that are stored locally at different clients.

Feature Attribution with Necessity and Sufficiency via Dual-stage Perturbation Test for Causal Explanation

no code implementations13 Feb 2024 Xuexin Chen, Ruichu Cai, Zhengting Huang, Yuxuan Zhu, Julien Horwood, Zhifeng Hao, Zijian Li, Jose Miguel Hernandez-Lobato

We investigate the problem of explainability in machine learning. To address this problem, Feature Attribution Methods (FAMs) measure the contribution of each feature through a perturbation test, where the difference in prediction is compared under different perturbations. However, such perturbation tests may not accurately distinguish the contributions of different features, when their change in prediction is the same after perturbation. In order to enhance the ability of FAMs to distinguish different features' contributions in this challenging setting, we propose to utilize the probability (PNS) that perturbing a feature is a necessary and sufficient cause for the prediction to change as a measure of feature importance. Our approach, Feature Attribution with Necessity and Sufficiency (FANS), computes the PNS via a perturbation test involving two stages (factual and interventional). In practice, to generate counterfactual samples, we use a resampling-based approach on the observed samples to approximate the required conditional distribution. Finally, we combine FANS and gradient-based optimization to extract the subset with the largest PNS. We demonstrate that FANS outperforms existing feature attribution methods on six benchmarks.

To mitigate the need for these strict assumptions, we propose a subspace identification theory that guarantees the disentanglement of domain-invariant and domain-specific variables under less restrictive constraints regarding domain numbers and transformation properties, thereby facilitating domain adaptation by minimizing the impact of domain shifts on invariant variables.
