RankUp: Boosting Semi-Supervised Regression with an Auxiliary Ranking Classifier

Neural Information Processing Systems

State-of-the-art (SOTA) semi-supervised learning techniques, such as FixMatch and it's variants, have demonstrated impressive performance in classification tasks. However, these methods are not directly applicable to regression tasks. In this paper, we present RankUp, a simple yet effective approach that adapts existing semi-supervised classification techniques to enhance the performance of regression tasks. RankUp achieves this by converting the original regression task into a ranking problem and training it concurrently with the original regression objective.


RegExplainer: Generating Explanations for Graph Neural Networks in Regression Tasks

Neural Information Processing Systems

Graph regression is a fundamental task that has gained significant attention invarious graph learning tasks. However, the inference process is often not easilyinterpretable. Current explanation techniques are limited to understanding GraphNeural Network (GNN) behaviors in classification tasks, leaving an explanation gapfor graph regression models. In this work, we propose a novel explanation methodto interpret the graph regression models (XAIG-R). Our method addresses thedistribution shifting problem and continuously ordered decision boundary issuesthat hinder existing methods away from being applied in regression tasks. Weintroduce a novel objective based on the graph information bottleneck theory (GIB)and a new mix-up framework, which can support various GNNs and explainersin a model-agnostic manner. Additionally, we present a self-supervised learningstrategy to tackle the continuously ordered labels in regression tasks. We evaluateour proposed method on three benchmark datasets and a real-life dataset introducedby us, and extensive experiments demonstrate its effectiveness in interpreting GNNmodels in regression tasks.
