• Abstract summary: We propose a model-centric evaluation framework, OmniInput, to evaluate the quality of an AI/ML model's predictions on all possible inputs. We employ an efficient sampler to obtain representative inputs and the output distribution of the trained model. Our experiments demonstrate that OmniInput enables a more fine-grained comparison between models.

• Abstract: We propose a novel model-centric evaluation framework, OmniInput, to evaluate the quality of an AI/ML model's predictions on all possible inputs (including human-unrecognizable ones), which is crucial for AI safety and reliability. Unlike traditional data-centric evaluation based on pre-defined test sets, the test set in OmniInput is self-constructed by the model itself and the model quality is evaluated by investigating its output distribution. We employ an efficient sampler to obtain representative inputs and the output distribution of the trained model, which, after selective annotation, can be used to estimate the model's precision and recall at different output values and a comprehensive precision-recall curve. Our experiments demonstrate that OmniInput enables a more fine-grained comparison between models, especially when their performance is almost the same on pre-defined datasets, leading to new findings and insights for how to train more robust, generalizable models.

  Failure to properly account for errors in machine learning predictions renders standard statistical procedures invalid. We introduce bootstrap confidence intervals that apply when the complete data is a nonuniform (i.e., weighted, stratified, or clustered) sample and to settings where an arbitrary subset of features is imputed. We prove that these confidence intervals are valid under no assumptions on the quality of the machine learning model and are no wider than the intervals obtained by methods that do not use machine learning predictions.

  We develop a suite of selectors to get the most informative datapoints for human evaluation. We show that selectors based on variance in automated metric scores, diversity in model outputs, or Item Response Theory outperform random selection. In particular, we introduce source-based estimators, which predict item usefulness for human evaluation just based on the source texts.

  Models that leverage rich inputs can be difficult to deploy widely because some inputs may be missing at inference. Current popular solutions to this problem include marginalization, imputation, and training multiple models. We propose an efficient way to learn both the conditional distribution using full inputs and the marginal distributions.

We show that GPT3 becomes less attentive with an increased number of demonstrations, while its accuracy on the test data improves.

  Selective prediction aims to learn a reliable model that abstains from making predictions when uncertain. Active learning aims to lower the overall labeling effort, and hence human dependence, by querying the most informative examples. In this work, we introduce a new learning paradigm, active selective prediction, which aims to query more informative samples from the shifted target domain.

• PAMI: partition input and aggregate outputs for model interpretation [69.42924964776766]
  In this study, a simple yet effective visualization framework called PAMI is proposed based on the observation that deep learning models often aggregate features from local regions for model predictions. The basic idea is to mask majority of the input and use the corresponding model output as the relative contribution of the preserved input part to the original model prediction. Extensive experiments on multiple tasks confirm the proposed method performs better than existing visualization approaches in more precisely finding class-specific input regions.
