Boyuan Pan, Yazheng Yang, Hao Li, Zhou Zhao, Yueting Zhuang, Deng Cai, Xiaofei He

Neural Information Processing Systems

Machine comprehension (MC) has gained significant popularity over the past few years and it is a coveted goal in the field of natural language understanding. Its task is to teach the machine to understand thecontent ofagivenpassage andthenanswer arelated question, which requires deep comprehension and accurate information extraction towards the text.


ABiasMetrics

Neural Information Processing Systems

Ninedifferentdebiasing algorithms (and a baseline) have been evaluated with this dataset using the popular ResNet-18 network[36]. CelebA contains faces of celebrities with several binary task labelsandtwoprotected labels(genderandyouth). Table 3showsthe prediction results from a biased binary classifier and its bias values using the seven metrics. Without losing generality, we consider "Sport" the positive class in the binary classifier. Following the DP formula in Appendix A.2, for the "Sport" class, thePPRfemale is 45.0% (90 /200), andPPRmale is65.0%


Gradient Descent Meets Shift-and-Invert Preconditioning for Eigenvector Computation

Neural Information Processing Systems

Shift-and-invert preconditioning, as a classic acceleration technique for the leading eigenvector computation, has received much attention again recently, owing to fast least-squares solvers for efficiently approximating matrix inversions in power iterations.

Neural Information Processing Systems

Machine learning aims to generalize models trained on given datasets to make accurate predictions or decisions on new, unseen data (El Naqa and Murphy, 2015). The effectiveness of those models depends on the alignment between the training datasets and deployment environments (Quinonero-Candela et al.,2008).
