result Neural Networks enhance the accuracy of data imputation compared to traditional methods.

Standard methods for anomaly detection assume that all features are observed at both learning time and prediction time. Such methods cannot process data containing missing values. This paper studies five strategies for handling missing values in test queries: (a) mean imputation, (b) MAP imputation, (c) reduction (redu…

result Achieves the semiparametric efficiency bound and provably dominates naive chargeback-based training in mean squared error.

Type inference refers to the task of inferring the data type of a given column of data. Current approaches often fail when data contains missing data and anomalies, which are found commonly in real-world data sets. In this paper, we propose ptype, a probabilistic robust type inference method that allows us to detect su…

Robots can rapidly acquire new skills from demonstrations. However, during generalisation of skills or transitioning across fundamentally different skills, it is unclear whether the robot has the necessary knowledge to perform the task. Failing to detect missing information often leads to abrupt movements or to collisi…

Study on missing data mechanisms and simple imputation methods in fairness of machine learning algorithms.

problem Impact of missing data mechanisms and simple imputation methods on fairness of machine learning algorithms.
