• Abstract: High-resolution estimates of population health indicators are critical for precision public health. We propose a method for high-resolution estimation that fuses distinct data sources: an unbiased, low-resolution data source (e.g. aggregated administrative data) and a potentially biased, high-resolution data source (e.g. individual-level online survey responses). We assume that the potentially biased, high-resolution data source is generated from the population under a model of sampling bias where observables can have arbitrary impact on the probability of response but the difference in the log probabilities of response between units with the same observables is linear in the difference between sufficient statistics of their observables and outcomes. Our data fusion method learns a distribution that is closest (in the sense of KL divergence) to the online survey distribution and consistent with the aggregated administrative data and our model of sampling bias. This method outperforms baselines that rely on either data source alone on a testbed that includes repeated measurements of three indicators measured by both the (online) Household Pulse Survey and ground-truth data sources at two geographic resolutions over the same time period.

  We propose a source-free approach centred on uncertainty-based estimation, using a generative model for calibration in the absence of source data. Our experiments on benchmark object recognition datasets reveal that existing source-based methods fall short with limited source sample availability. Our approach significantly outperforms the current state-of-the-art source-free and source-based methods, affirming its effectiveness in domain-invariant performance estimation.

  This paper studies score approximation, estimation, and distribution recovery of diffusion models, when data are supported on an unknown low-dimensional linear subspace. We show that with a properly chosen neural network architecture, the score function can be both accurately approximated and efficiently estimated. The generated distribution based on the estimated score function captures the data geometric structures and converges to a close vicinity of the data distribution.
