Real-Time Machine Learning: The Missing Pieces

2 code implementations11 Mar 2017 Robert Nishihara, Philipp Moritz, Stephanie Wang, Alexey Tumanov, William Paul, Johann Schleier-Smith, Richard Liaw, Mehrdad Niknami, Michael. I. Jordan, Ion Stoica

Machine learning applications are increasingly deployed not only to serve predictions using static models, but also as tightly-integrated components of feedback loops involving dynamic, real-time decision making.

Unsupervised Discovery, Control, and Disentanglement of Semantic Attributes with Applications to Anomaly Detection

no code implementations25 Feb 2020 William Paul, I-Jeng Wang, Fady Alajaji, Philippe Burlina

Our work focuses on unsupervised and generative methods that address the following goals: (a) learning unsupervised generative representations that discover latent factors controlling image semantic attributes, (b) studying how this ability to control attributes formally relates to the issue of latent factor disentanglement, clarifying related but dissimilar concepts that had been confounded in the past, and (c) developing anomaly detection methods that leverage representations learned in (a).

Addressing Artificial Intelligence Bias in Retinal Disease Diagnostics

no code implementations28 Apr 2020 Philippe Burlina, Neil Joshi, William Paul, Katia D. Pacheco, Neil M. Bressler

Using novel generative methods for addressing missing subpopulation training data (DR-referable darker-skin) achieved instead accuracy, for lighter-skin, of 72. 0% (65. 8%, 78. 2%), and for darker-skin, of 71. 5% (65. 2%, 77. 8%), demonstrating closer parity (delta=0. 5%) in accuracy across subpopulations (Welch t-test t=0. 111, P=. 912).

AI Progress in Skin Lesion Analysis

no code implementations28 Sep 2020 Philippe M. Burlina, William Paul, Phil A. Mathew, Neil J. Joshi, Alison W. Rebman, John N. Aucott

We examine progress in the use of AI for detecting skin lesions, with particular emphasis on the erythema migrans rash of acute Lyme disease, and other lesions, such as those from conditions like herpes zoster (shingles), tinea corporis, erythema multiforme, cellulitis, insect bites, or tick bites.

TARA: Training and Representation Alteration for AI Fairness and Domain Generalization

Defending Medical Image Diagnostics against Privacy Attacks using Generative Methods

no code implementations4 Mar 2021 William Paul, Yinzhi Cao, Miaomiao Zhang, Phil Burlina

Machine learning (ML) models used in medical imaging diagnostics can be vulnerable to a variety of privacy attacks, including membership inference attacks, that lead to violations of regulations governing the use of medical data and threaten to compromise their effective deployment in the clinic.

Adaptation and Generalization for Unknown Sensitive Factors of Variations

no code implementations28 Jul 2021 William Paul, Philippe Burlina

We also demonstrate how adaptation to real factors of variations can be performed in the semi-supervised case where some target factor labels are known, via automated intervention selection.

Robustness and Adaptation to Hidden Factors of Variation

no code implementations3 Mar 2022 William Paul, Philippe Burlina

We tackle here a specific, still not widely addressed aspect, of AI robustness, which consists of seeking invariance / insensitivity of model performance to hidden factors of variations in the data.

Tenenbaum, Antonio Torralba, Florian Shkurti, Liam Paull

We demonstrate the utility of this representation through a number of downstream planning tasks that are specified through abstract (language) prompts and require complex reasoning over spatial and semantic concepts.
