• Abstract: Performing classification on noisy, crowdsourced image datasets can prove challenging even for the best neural networks. Two issues which complicate the problem on such datasets are class imbalance and ground-truth uncertainty in labeling. The AL-ALL and AL-PUB datasets - consisting of tightly cropped, individual characters from images of ancient Greek papyri - are strongly affected by both issues. The application of ensemble modeling to such datasets can help identify images where the ground-truth is questionable and quantify the trustworthiness of those samples. As such, we apply stacked generalization consisting of nearly identical ResNets with different loss functions: one utilizing sparse cross-entropy (CXE) and the other Kullback-Liebler Divergence (KLD). Both networks use labels drawn from a crowd-sourced consensus. This consensus is derived from a Normalized Distribution of Annotations (NDA) based on all annotations for a given character in the dataset. For the second network, the KLD is calculated with respect to the NDA. For our ensemble model, we apply a k-nearest neighbors model to the outputs of the CXE and KLD networks. Individually, the ResNet models have approximately 93% accuracy, while the ensemble model achieves an accuracy of > 95%, increasing the classification trustworthiness. We also perform an analysis of the Shannon entropy of the various models' output distributions to measure classification uncertainty. Our results suggest that entropy is useful for predicting model misclassifications.

  We present an approach to construct an unbiased generative adversarial network (GAN) from an existing biased GAN.

  We present the first benchmark that simulates the evaluation of open information extraction models in the real world.

By further elaborating the robustness metric, a model is judged to be robust if its performance is consistently accurate on the overall cliques.

  We derive a variational objective to train the model, analogous to the evidence lower bound (ELBO) used to train variational auto-encoders. Treating inputs to the softmax layer as samples of a latent variable, our abstracted perspective reveals a potential inconsistency. We induce a chosen latent distribution, instead of the implicit assumption found in a standard softmax layer.

  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.

  Convolutional networks learn similar low-level feature distributions when trained on any natural image dataset. When the discriminative features between inliers and outliers are on a high-level, anomaly detection becomes particularly challenging. We propose two methods to remove the negative impact of model bias and domain prior on detecting high-level differences.
