• Authors: Sanjay Vishwakarma and Srinjoy Ganguly
• Abstract summary: In Naive Bayes, certain features are called independent features as they have no conditional correlation or dependency when predicting a classification. We propose a novel technique called the Comonotone-Independence (CIBer) which is able to overcome the challenges posed by the Naive Bayes method.

• Abstract: The Naive Bayesian classifier is a popular classification method employing the Bayesian paradigm. The concept of having conditional dependence among input variables sounds good in theory but can lead to a majority vote style behaviour. Achieving conditional independence is often difficult, and they introduce decision biases in the estimates. In Naive Bayes, certain features are called independent features as they have no conditional correlation or dependency when predicting a classification. In this paper, we focus on the optimal partition of features by proposing a novel technique called the Comonotone-Independence Classifier (CIBer) which is able to overcome the challenges posed by the Naive Bayes method. For different datasets, we clearly demonstrate the efficacy of our technique, where we achieve lower error rates and higher or equivalent accuracy compared to models such as Random Forests and XGBoost.

  Self-training is a well-known approach for semi-supervised learning. It consists of iteratively assigning pseudo-labels to unlabeled data for which the model is confident and treating them as labeled examples. For neural networks, softmax prediction probabilities are often used as a confidence measure, although they are known to be overconfident, even for wrong predictions. We propose a novel confidence measure, called $mathcalT$-similarity, built upon the prediction diversity of an ensemble of linear classifiers.

• When Does Confidence-Based Cascade Deferral Suffice? [69.28314307469381]
  Cascades are a classical strategy to enable inference cost to vary adaptively across samples. A deferral rule determines whether to invoke the next classifier in the sequence, or to terminate prediction. Despite being oblivious to the structure of the cascade, confidence-based deferral often works remarkably well in practice.

  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.

  Quantification, variously called "labelled prevalence estimation" or "learning to quantify", is the supervised learning task of generating predictors of the relative frequencies of the classes of interest in unsupervised data samples. We propose methods for inferring estimators of class prevalence values that strive to leverage the dependencies among the classes of interest in order to predict their relative frequencies more accurately.

  In classification problems, the Bayes error can be used as a criterion to evaluate classifiers with state-of-the-art performance. We propose a simple and direct Bayes error estimator, where we just take the mean of the labels that show emphuncertainty of the classes. Our flexible approach enables us to perform Bayes error estimation even for weakly supervised data.

An applied analysis to predict the fate of the passengers of the Titanic highlights the insights that the new class of generative classifiers can give.
