NeurIPS 2023 Workshop on Distribution Shifts (DistShifts)2023Recent work using pretrained transformers has shown impressive performance when fine-tuned with data from the downstream problem of interest. However, they struggle to retain that performance when the data characteristics changes. In this paper, we focus on continual learning, where a pre-trained transformer is updated to perform well on new data, while retaining its performance on data it was previously

WACV 20242023Developing a client-side segmentation algorithm for online sports streaming holds significant importance. For instance, in order to assess the video quality from an end-user perspective such as artifact detection, it is important to initially segment the content within the streaming playback. The challenge lies in localizing the content due to the intricate scene changes between content and non-content

IEEE BigData 20232023Integrating structured knowledge into language model representations increases recall of domain-specific information useful for downstream tasks. Matching between knowledge graph entities and text entity mentions can be easily performed when entity names are unique or there exists entity linking data. When extending this setting to new domains, newly mined knowledge contains ambiguous and incorrect information

2023 Conference on Digital Experimentation @ MIT (CODE@MIT)2023Randomized Control Trials (RCTs) are widely used across Amazon to causally estimate impacts of proposed feature changes, in order to make data-driven launch decisions. A key element of experimental design is the level of randomization, and the choice often relies on the cross-unit interaction structure. For instance, in the context of advertiser experiments, a treatment may affect the outcome of control

2023 Conference on Digital Experimentation @ MIT (CODE@MIT)2023There are many experimental settings that may suffer from cross-unit (customers, seller, advertiser, etc.) spillovers, for instance through network effects. Such effects introduce bias and prevent the experimenter from drawing trustworthy insights on the data. One approach to dealing with such spillovers is to group units into clusters and randomize treatment status at the cluster level. Examples of clusters
