Model Shapley: Equitable Model Valuation with Black-box Access Xinyi Xu, Thanh Lam
ML models call for an equitable model valuation method to price them. In particular, we investigate the black-box access setting which allows querying a model (to observe predictions) without disclosing model-specific information (e.g., architecture and parameters). By exploiting a Dirichlet abstraction of a model's predictions, we propose a novel and equitable model valuation method called
A Compositional Atlas for Algebraic Circuits
The key feature of circuits is that they enable one to precisely characterize tractability conditions (structural properties of the circuit) under which a given inference query can be computed exactly and efficiently. One can then enforce these circuit properties when compiling or learning a model to enable tractable inference.
Off-Policy Selection for Initiating Human-Centric Experimental Design Ge Gao Xi Y ang
Human-centric systems (HCSs), e.g. , used in healthcare facilities [ Given the long testing horizon ( e.g. , several years, or semesters, in healthcare, and IE, respectively) and the high cost of recruiting participants, online testing is considered exceedingly The work was done at North Carolina State University. In this section, we introduce the FPS method, which determines the policy to be deployed to new participants that join an existing cohort, conditioned only on their initial states.
