JRFs improve semi-supervised learning by balancing generation and classification.

problem Mode missing and mode covering issues in GANs and VAEs, and conflict between good classification and generation.
method Joint-stochastic-approximation random fields (JRFs) for deep undirected generative models.
result JRFs achieve good classification and generation results in SSL.

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are a powerful framework for generative tasks. However, they are difficult to train and tend to miss modes of the true data generation process. Although GANs can learn a rich representation of the covered modes of the data in their latent space, the framework misses an inverse map…

Many generative models have to combat missing modes\textit{missing modes}. The conventional wisdom to this end is by reducing through training a statistical distance (such as ff-divergence) between the generated distribution and provided data distribution. But this is more of a heuristic than a guarantee. The statistical distanc…

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.
method Three popular datasets for classification fairness were used. Missing values were generated using three missing data mechanisms. Various missing data handling techniques (listwise deletion, mean imputation, mode imputation, multiple imputation) were applied to the datasets. Fairness was assessed using classification algorithms (random forests).
result Missing data mechanism does not significantly impact fairness; listwise deletion gives highest fairness on average.

result Shows that under certain conditions, counterfactual scores can be identified and estimated efficiently, improving evaluation of abstaining classifiers.

Representation learning is typically applied to only one mode of a data matrix, either its rows or columns. Yet in many applications, there is an underlying geometry to both the rows and the columns. We propose utilizing this coupled structure to perform co-manifold learning: uncovering the underlying geometry of both …
