• Abstract summary: We show how a series of simple tests for data imbalance exposes faults in the data acquisition and annotation process. Errors made at the data collection stage make it difficult to validate the model correctly. We show how to monitor data and model balance (fairness) throughout the life cycle of a predictive model.

• Abstract: Prevention is better than cure. This old truth applies not only to the prevention of diseases but also to the prevention of issues with AI models used in medicine. The source of malfunctioning of predictive models often lies not in the training process but reaches the data acquisition phase or design of the experiment phase. In this paper, we analyze in detail a single use case - a Kaggle competition related to the detection of abnormalities in X-ray lung images. We demonstrate how a series of simple tests for data imbalance exposes faults in the data acquisition and annotation process. Complex models are able to learn such artifacts and it is difficult to remove this bias during or after the training. Errors made at the data collection stage make it difficult to validate the model correctly. Based on this use case, we show how to monitor data and model balance (fairness) throughout the life cycle of a predictive model, from data acquisition to parity analysis of model scores.

  We show that replacing the original real data by each generation's synthetic data does indeed tend towards model collapse. We demonstrate that accumulating the successive generations of synthetic data alongside the original real data avoids model collapse.

  We propose a Light and Anti-overfitting Retraining Approach (LARA) for deep variational auto-encoder based time series anomaly detection methods (VAEs) This work aims to make three novel contributions: 1) the retraining process is formulated as a convex problem and can converge at a fast rate as well as prevent overfitting; 2) designing a ruminate block, which leverages the historical data without the need to store them; and 3) mathematically proving that when fine-tuning the latent vector and reconstructed data, the linear formations can achieve the least adjusting errors between the ground truths and the fine-tuned ones.

  Skin lesion analysis models are biased by artifacts placed during image acquisition. We propose TTS (Test-Time Selection), a human-in-the-loop method that leverages positive (e.g., lesion area) and negative (e.g., artifacts) keypoints in test samples. Our solution is robust to a varying availability of annotations, and different levels of bias.

  Misleading or unnecessary data can have out-sized impacts on the health or accuracy of Machine Learning (ML) models. We present a sequential selection method that identifies critically important information within a dataset. We find these instabilities are a result of the complexity of the underlying map and linked to extreme events and heavy tails.

  We study the problem of developing debiased chest X-ray diagnosis models without knowing exactly the bias labels.

Our proposed method achieved consistent improvements over other state-of-the-art approaches.

• Learning from others' mistakes: Avoiding dataset biases without modeling them [111.17078939377313]
  State-of-the-art natural language processing (NLP) models often learn to model dataset biases and surface form correlations instead of features that target the intended task. Previous work has demonstrated effective methods to circumvent these issues when knowledge of the bias is available. We show a method for training models that learn to ignore these problematic correlations.
