- Title: A logical alarm for misaligned binary classifiers
- Abstract summary: intuition is formalized for evaluating agents that have carried out a binary classification task.
This is done by establishing a set of axioms that must be universally obeyed by all evaluations of binary responders.
The similarities of this approach to formal software verification and its utility for recent agendas of safe guaranteed AI are discussed.

- Abstract: If two agents disagree in their decisions, we may suspect they are not both correct. This intuition is formalized for evaluating agents that have carried out a binary classification task. Their agreements and disagreements on a joint test allow us to establish the only group evaluations logically consistent with their responses. This is done by establishing a set of axioms (algebraic relations) that must be universally obeyed by all evaluations of binary responders. A complete set of such axioms are possible for each ensemble of size N. The axioms for $N = 1, 2$ are used to construct a fully logical alarm - one that can prove that at least one ensemble member is malfunctioning using only unlabeled data. The similarities of this approach to formal software verification and its utility for recent agendas of safe guaranteed AI are discussed.

We consider the problem in AI safety of monitoring noisy AI agents in unsupervised settings.
We show how some of the postulates have been previously identified in the ML literature but not recognized as such.
We demonstrate how the formalism of logical consistency via algebraic postulates of evaluation can help increase the safety of machines using AI algorithms.

binary classification [0.0]
We search for nearly error independent trios by using the algebraic failure modes to reject evaluation ensembles as too correlated.
The results produced by the surviving ensembles can sometimes be as good as 1%.
A Taylor expansion of the estimates produced when independence is assumed but the classifiers are, in fact, slightly correlated helps clarify how the independent evaluator has algebraic blind spots'

axiom scorings are often computationally expensive, which is an issue if you wish to use them in search techniques like level-wise generate-and-test or evolutionary algorithms.
We address the problem of developing a predictive model as a substitute for reasoning that predicts the possibility score of candidate class axioms.
We show that the approach provided in this work can accurately learn the possibility scores of candidate class axioms and that it can do so for a variety of class axioms.

Development of new algorithms in the area of machine learning, especially clustering, requires availability of labeled data sets.
We propose an alternative axiomatic system, in which Kleinberg's inner consistency axiom is replaced by a centric consistency axiom.
We demonstrate that the new system is satisfiable for a hierarchical version of $k$-means with auto-adjusted $k$, hence it is not contradictory.

We show that DP-NDD not only labels constituents precisely but also inducts more accurate unlabeled constituency trees than all previous unsupervised methods with simpler rules.
