• Abstract summary: We introduce MODEL SELECTOR, a framework for label-efficient selection of pretrained classifiers. We show that MODEL SELECTOR drastically reduces the need for labeled data while consistently picking the best or near-best performing model. Our results further highlight the robustness of MODEL SELECTOR in model selection, as it reduces the labeling cost by up to 72.41% when selecting a near-best model.

• Abstract: We introduce MODEL SELECTOR, a framework for label-efficient selection of pretrained classifiers. Given a pool of unlabeled target data, MODEL SELECTOR samples a small subset of highly informative examples for labeling, in order to efficiently identify the best pretrained model for deployment on this target dataset. Through extensive experiments, we demonstrate that MODEL SELECTOR drastically reduces the need for labeled data while consistently picking the best or near-best performing model. Across 18 model collections on 16 different datasets, comprising over 1,500 pretrained models, MODEL SELECTOR reduces the labeling cost by up to 94.15% to identify the best model compared to the cost of the strongest baseline. Our results further highlight the robustness of MODEL SELECTOR in model selection, as it reduces the labeling cost by up to 72.41% when selecting a near-best model, whose accuracy is only within 1% of the best model.

  REFRESH is a method to reselect features so that additional constraints that are desirable towards model performance can be achieved without having to train several new models. REFRESH's underlying algorithm is a novel technique using SHAP values and correlation analysis that can approximate for the predictions of a model without having to train these models.

  We propose MILO, a model-agnostic subset selection framework that decouples the subset selection from model training. Our empirical results indicate that MILO can train models $3times - 10 times$ faster and tune hyperparameters $20times - 75 times$ faster than full-dataset training or tuning without performance.

  The model selection procedure is usually a single-criterion decision making in which we select the model that maximizes a specific metric in a specific set. We claim this is very naive and can perform poor selections of over-fitted models due to the over-searching phenomenon. We have defined four theoretical optimality conditions that we can pursue to better select the models and analyze them.
