• Title: Boosting of Classification Models with Human-in-the-Loop Computational Visual Knowledge Discovery
• Authors: Alice Williams, Boris Kovalerchuk,
• Abstract summary: This paper proposes moving boosting methodology from focusing on only misclassified cases to all cases in the class overlap areas. A Divide and Classify process splits cases to simple and complex, classifying these individually through computational analysis and data visualization. After finding pure and overlap class areas simple cases in pure areas are classified, generating interpretable sub-models like decision rules in Propositional and First-order Logics.

• Abstract: High-risk artificial intelligence and machine learning classification tasks, such as healthcare diagnosis, require accurate and interpretable prediction models. However, classifier algorithms typically sacrifice individual case-accuracy for overall model accuracy, limiting analysis of class overlap areas regardless of task significance. The Adaptive Boosting meta-algorithm, which won the 2003 G\"odel Prize, analytically assigns higher weights to misclassified cases to reclassify. However, it relies on weaker base classifiers that are iteratively strengthened, limiting improvements from base classifiers. Combining visual and computational approaches enables selecting stronger base classifiers before boosting. This paper proposes moving boosting methodology from focusing on only misclassified cases to all cases in the class overlap areas using Computational and Interactive Visual Learning (CIVL) with a Human-in-the-Loop. It builds classifiers in lossless visualizations integrating human domain expertise and visual insights. A Divide and Classify process splits cases to simple and complex, classifying these individually through computational analysis and data visualization with lossless visualization spaces of Parallel Coordinates or other General Line Coordinates. After finding pure and overlap class areas simple cases in pure areas are classified, generating interpretable sub-models like decision rules in Propositional and First-order Logics. Only multidimensional cases in the overlap areas are losslessly visualized simplifying end-user cognitive tasks to identify difficult case patterns, including engineering features to form new classifiable patterns. Demonstration shows a perfectly accurate and losslessly interpretable model of the Iris dataset, and simulated data shows generalized benefits to accuracy and interpretability of models, increasing end-user confidence in discovered models.

  We propose a generative explanation model that combines the advantages of global and local knowledge. Class association embedding (CAE) encodes each sample into a pair of separated class-associated and individual codes. Building-block coherency feature extraction algorithm is proposed that efficiently separates class-associated features from individual ones.

  A counterfactual explanation of an instance indicates how this instance should be minimally modified so that the perturbed instance is classified in the desired class. Most of the Counterfactual Analysis literature focuses on the single-instance single-counterfactual setting. By means of novel Mathematical Optimization models, we provide a counterfactual explanation for each instance in a group of interest.

  A central challenge in training classification models in the real-world federated system is learning with non-IID data.
