• Title: t-RAIN: Robust generalization under weather-aliasing label shift attacks
• Authors: Aboli Marathe, Sanjana Prabhu
• Abstract summary: We analyze the impact of label shift on the task of multi-weather classification for autonomous vehicles. We propose t-RAIN a similarity mapping technique for synthetic data augmentation using large scale generative models. We present state-of-the-art pedestrian detection results on real and synthetic weather domains with best performing 82.69 AP (snow) and 62.31 AP (fog) respectively.

• Abstract: In the classical supervised learning settings, classifiers are fit with the assumption of balanced label distributions and produce remarkable results on the same. In the real world, however, these assumptions often bend and in turn adversely impact model performance. Identifying bad learners in skewed target distributions is even more challenging. Thus achieving model robustness under these "label shift" settings is an important task in autonomous perception. In this paper, we analyze the impact of label shift on the task of multi-weather classification for autonomous vehicles. We use this information as a prior to better assess pedestrian detection in adverse weather. We model the classification performance as an indicator of robustness under 4 label shift scenarios and study the behavior of multiple classes of models. We propose t-RAIN a similarity mapping technique for synthetic data augmentation using large scale generative models and evaluate the performance on DAWN dataset. This mapping boosts model test accuracy by 2.1, 4.4, 1.9, 2.7 % in no-shift, fog, snow, dust shifts respectively. We present state-of-the-art pedestrian detection results on real and synthetic weather domains with best performing 82.69 AP (snow) and 62.31 AP (fog) respectively.

  Aspect Sentiment Quad Prediction (ASQP) aims to predict all quads (aspect term, aspect category, opinion term, sentiment polarity) for a given review. A key challenge in the ASQP task is the scarcity of labeled data, which limits the performance of existing methods. We propose a self-training framework with a pseudo-label scorer, wherein a scorer assesses the match between reviews and their pseudo-labels.

  We benchmark machine learning models against perturbations that simulate functional insufficiencies observed during model deployment in a vehicle. Training the models with similar perturbations effectively reduces performance degradation, with error increases of up to +87.5%. We argue that despite being an effective mitigation strategy, data augmentation through perturbations during training does not guarantee robustness towards unforeseen perturbations.

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.

  In practice, it may make sense to ignore benign shifts, under which the performance of a deployed model does not degrade substantially. We argue that a sensible method for firing off a warning has to both (a) detect harmful shifts while ignoring benign ones, and (b) allow continuous monitoring of model performance without increasing the false alarm rate.
