• Abstract: Rapid progress in representation learning has led to a proliferation of embedding models, and to associated challenges of model selection and practical application. It is non-trivial to assess a model's generalizability to new, candidate datasets and failure to generalize may lead to poor performance on downstream tasks. Distribution shifts are one cause of reduced generalizability, and are often difficult to detect in practice. In this paper, we use the embedding space geometry to propose a non-parametric framework for detecting distribution shifts, and specify two tests. The first test detects shifts by establishing a robustness boundary, determined by an intelligible performance criterion, for comparing reference and candidate datasets. The second test detects shifts by featurizing and classifying multiple subsamples of two datasets as in-distribution and out-of-distribution. In evaluation, both tests detect model-impacting distribution shifts, in various shift scenarios, for both synthetic and real-world datasets.

  We propose a downstream-pretext domain knowledge traceback (DOKT) method that traces the data interactions of downstream knowledge and pre-training guidance. DOKT consists of a traceback diversity indicator and a domain-based uncertainty estimator. Experiments conducted on ten datasets show that our model outperforms other state-of-the-art methods.

• Invariant Anomaly Detection under Distribution Shifts: A Causal Perspective [6.845698872290768]
  Anomaly detection (AD) is the machine learning task of identifying highly discrepant abnormal samples. Under the constraints of a distribution shift, the assumption that training samples and test samples are drawn from the same distribution breaks down. We attempt to increase the resilience of anomaly detection models to different kinds of distribution shifts.

  Few-shot learning aims to recognize novel queries with limited support samples by learning from base knowledge. Recent progress in this setting assumes that the base knowledge and novel query samples are distributed in the same domains. We propose to address the cross-domain few-shot learning problem where only extremely few samples are available in target domains.

  Deep learning has enabled us to analyze real-world data which contain unexplained samples. GAN-based approaches have been widely used to address this problem due to their ability to perform distribution fitting. We propose a simple yet efficient reconstruction-based method that avoids adding complexities to compensate for the limitations of GAN models.

• Identifying the Context Shift between Test Benchmarks and Production Data [1.2259552039796024]
  There exists a performance gap between machine learning models' accuracy on dataset benchmarks and real-world production data. We outline two methods for identifying changes in context that lead to distribution shifts and model prediction errors. We present two case-studies to highlight the implicit assumptions underlying applied machine learning models that tend to lead to errors.

We derive a Bayesian model that provides for a well-defined relationship between unlabeled inputs under distributional shift and model parameters.

  We connect domain adaptation and predictive uncertainty literature to predict model accuracy on challenging unseen distributions. We find that the difference of confidences (DoC) of a classifier's predictions successfully estimates the classifier's performance change over a variety of shifts. We specifically investigate the distinction between synthetic and natural distribution shifts and observe that despite its simplicity DoC consistently outperforms other quantifications of distributional difference.

  We present a strategy for learning a calibrated predictive distribution over semantic maps, where the probability associated with each prediction reflects its ground truth correctness likelihood. We demonstrate the versatility and robustness of the approach by achieving state-of-the-art results on the multigrader LIDC dataset and on a modified Cityscapes dataset with injected ambiguities. We show that the core design can be adapted to other tasks requiring learning a calibrated predictive distribution by experimenting on a toy regression dataset.
