Negative sampling in semi-supervised learning

1 code implementation ICML 2020 John Chen, Vatsal Shah, Anastasios Kyrillidis

We introduce Negative Sampling in Semi-Supervised Learning (NS3L), a simple, fast, easy to tune algorithm for semi-supervised learning (SSL).

Exploring Text Specific and Blackbox Fairness Algorithms in Multimodal Clinical NLP

1 code implementation EMNLP (ClinicalNLP) 2020 John Chen, Ian Berlot-Attwell, Safwan Hossain, Xindi Wang, Frank Rudzicz

Clinical machine learning is increasingly multimodal, collected in both structured tabular formats and unstructured forms such as freetext.

StackMix: A complementary Mix algorithm

no code implementations25 Nov 2020 John Chen, Samarth Sinha, Anastasios Kyrillidis

On its own, improvements with StackMix hold across different number of labeled samples on CIFAR-100, maintaining approximately a 2\% gap in test accuracy -- down to using only 5\% of the whole dataset -- and is effective in the semi-supervised setting with a 2\% improvement with the standard benchmark $\Pi$-model.

Transformer-Based Models for Question Answering on COVID19

no code implementations16 Jan 2021 Hillary Ngai, Yoona Park, John Chen, Mahboobeh Parsapoor

In response to the Kaggle's COVID-19 Open Research Dataset (CORD-19) challenge, we have proposed three transformer-based question-answering systems using BERT, ALBERT, and T5 models.
