Causality-aware counterfactual confounding adjustment as an alternative to linear residualization in anticausal prediction tasks based on linear learners

no code implementations9 Nov 2020 Elias Chaibub Neto

In this paper, we compare the linear residualization approach against the causality-aware confounding adjustment in anticausal prediction tasks, and show that the causality-aware approach tends to (asymptotically) outperform the residualization adjustment in terms of predictive performance in linear learners.

Stable predictions for health related anticausal prediction tasks affected by selection biases: the need to deconfound the test set features

no code implementations9 Nov 2020 Elias Chaibub Neto, Phil Snyder, Solveig K Sieberts, Larsson Omberg

In health related machine learning applications, the training data often corresponds to a non-representative sample from the target populations where the learners will be deployed.

Towards causality-aware predictions in static machine learning tasks: the linear structural causal model case

no code implementations12 Jan 2020 Elias Chaibub Neto

While counterfactual thinking has been used in ML tasks that aim to predict the consequences of different actions, policies, and interventions, it has not yet been leveraged in more traditional/static supervised learning tasks, such as the prediction of discrete labels in classification tasks or continuous responses in regression problems.

Detecting Learning vs Memorization in Deep Neural Networks using Shared Structure Validation Sets

no code implementations21 Feb 2018 Elias Chaibub Neto

Here, we propose a novel permutation approach that can differentiate memorization from learning in deep neural networks (DNNs) trained as usual (i. e., using the real labels to guide the learning, rather than shuffled labels).
