ICLR 2022 Workshop on Practical Machine Learning for Developing Countries2023In text classification tasks, fine tuning pretrained language models like BERT and GPT-3 yields competitive accuracy; however, both methods require pretraining on large text datasets. In contrast, general topic modeling methods possess the advantage of analyzing documents to extract meaningful patterns of words without the need of pretraining. To leverage topic modeling’s unsupervised insights extraction

ICLR 2023 Workshop on Trustworthy Machine Learning for Healthcare2023Explainability of machine learning methods is of fundamental importance in healthcare to calibrate trust. A large branch of explainable machine learning uses tools linked to the Shapley value, which have nonetheless been found difficult to interpret and potentially misleading. Taking multiclass classification as a reference task, we argue that a critical issue in these methods is that they disregard the

ACL Findings 20232023Recently, Neural Topic Models (NTM), inspired by variational autoencoders, have attracted a lot of research interest; however, these methods have limited applications in the real world due to the challenge of incorporating human knowledge. This work presents a semi-supervised neural topic modeling method, vONTSS, which uses von Mises-Fisher (vMF) based variational autoencoders and optimal transport. When

ICML 20232023Differentially private (DP) optimization is the standard paradigm to learn large neural networks that are accurate and privacy-preserving. The computational cost for DP deep learning, however, is notoriously heavy due to the per-sample gradient clipping. Existing DP implementations are 2 ∼ 1000× more costly in time and space complexity than the standard (non-private) training. In this work, we develop a

Interspeech 20232023Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) models are popular for their balance between speed and performance for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). However, these CTC models still struggle in other areas, such as personalization towards custom words. A recent approach explores Contextual Adapters, wherein an attention-based biasing model for CTC is used to improve the recognition of custom entities.
