• Abstract summary: In our work, we develop methods for Deep neural networks based inferences in such datasets like the Gene Expression. We adopt the Quantile Regression framework to predict full conditional quantiles for a given set of housekeeping gene expressions. We propose log-cosh as a smooth-alternative to the check loss to drive the estimation process.

• Abstract: Mining large datasets and obtaining calibrated predictions from tem is of immediate relevance and utility in reliable deep learning. In our work, we develop methods for Deep neural networks based inferences in such datasets like the Gene Expression. However, unlike typical Deep learning methods, our inferential technique, while achieving state-of-the-art performance in terms of accuracy, can also provide explanations, and report uncertainty estimates. We adopt the Quantile Regression framework to predict full conditional quantiles for a given set of housekeeping gene expressions. Conditional quantiles, in addition to being useful in providing rich interpretations of the predictions, are also robust to measurement noise. Our technique is particularly consequential in High-throughput Genomics, an area which is ushering a new era in personalized health care, and targeted drug design and delivery. However, check loss, used in quantile regression to drive the estimation process is not differentiable. We propose log-cosh as a smooth-alternative to the check loss. We apply our methods on GEO microarray dataset. We also extend the method to binary classification setting. Furthermore, we investigate other consequences of the smoothness of the loss in faster convergence. We further apply the classification framework to other healthcare inference tasks such as heart disease, breast cancer, diabetes etc. As a test of generalization ability of our framework, other non-healthcare related data sets for regression and classification tasks are also evaluated.

  We propose a novel approach to semi-supervised regression, namely Uncertainty-Consistent Variational Model Ensembling (UCVME) Our consistency loss significantly improves uncertainty estimates and allows higher quality pseudo-labels to be assigned greater importance under heteroscedastic regression. Experiments show that our method outperforms state-of-the-art alternatives on different tasks and can be competitive with supervised methods that use full labels.

  We propose a novel framework for uncertainty quantification via information bottleneck (IB-UQ) for scientific machine learning tasks.

We also propose a data augmentation based information bottleneck objective which can enhance the quality of the extrapolation uncertainty.

We propose Average Thresholded Confidence (ATC), a practical method that learns a threshold on the model's confidence, predicting accuracy as the fraction of unlabeled examples.

  Uncertainty is important in critical applications such as anomaly or lesion detection and clinical diagnosis. In this work, we focus on using quantile regression to estimate aleatoric uncertainty and use it for estimating uncertainty in both supervised and unsupervised lesion detection problems. We show how quantile regression can be used to characterize expert disagreement in the location of lesion boundaries.

  Empirical risk minimization (ERM) is the workhorse of machine learning, but its model-agnostic guarantees can fail when we use adaptively collected data. We study a generic importance sampling weighted ERM algorithm for using adaptively collected data to minimize the average of a loss function over a hypothesis class. For policy learning, we provide rate-optimal regret guarantees that close an open gap in the existing literature whenever exploration decays to zero.
