TLDR
This work introduces Invariant Risk Minimization, a learning paradigm to estimate invariant correlations across multiple training distributions and shows how the invariances learned by IRM relate to the causal structures governing the data and enable out-of-distribution generalization.Abstract:
We introduce Invariant Risk Minimization (IRM), a learning paradigm to estimate invariant correlations across multiple training distributions. To achieve this goal, IRM learns a data representation such that the optimal classifier, on top of that data representation, matches for all training distributions. Through theory and experiments, we show how the invariances learned by IRM relate to the causal structures governing the data and enable out-of-distribution generalization.read more

Efficient nonparametric statistical inference on population feature importance using Shapley values
Brian D. Williamson,Jean Feng +1 more
TL;DR: This work presents a computationally efficient procedure for estimating and obtaining valid statistical inference on the Shapley Population Variable Importance Measure (SPVIM), and proves that its estimator converges at an asymptotically optimal rate.

Diverse Weight Averaging for Out-of-Distribution Generalization
Alexandre Ramé,Matthieu Kirchmeyer,Thibaud Rahier,Alain Rakotomamonjy,Patrick Gallinari,Matthieu Cord +5 more
TL;DR: Diverse Weight Averaging is proposed that makes a simple change to this strategy: DiWA averages the weights obtained from several independent training runs rather than from a single run, and highlights the need for diversity by a new bias-variance-covariance-locality decomposition of the expected error.

Visual Representation Learning Does Not Generalize Strongly Within the Same Domain
Lukas Schott,Julius von Kügelgen,Frederik Träuble,Peter V. Gehler,Chris Russell,Matthias Bethge,Bernhard Schölkopf,Francesco Locatello,Wieland Brendel +8 more
TL;DR: This paper test whether 17 unsupervised, weakly supervised, and fully supervised representation learning approaches correctly infer the generative factors of variation in simple datasets and observe that all of them struggle to learn the underlying mechanism regardless of supervision signal and architectural bias.

Risk Variance Penalization: From Distributional Robustness to Causality.
TL;DR: A framework to unify the Empirical Risk Minimization, the Robust Optimization and the Risk Extrapolation is proposed, and a novel regularization method, Risk Variance Penalization (RVP), which is derived from REx is proposed.

Causal machine learning for healthcare and precision medicine
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors explore how causal inference can be incorporated into different aspects of clinical decision support systems by using recent advances in machine learning and use Alzheimer's disease to create examples for illustrating how CML can be advantageous in clinical scenarios.

BERT: Pre-training of Deep Bidirectional Transformers for Language Understanding
TL;DR: A new language representation model, BERT, designed to pre-train deep bidirectional representations from unlabeled text by jointly conditioning on both left and right context in all layers, which can be fine-tuned with just one additional output layer to create state-of-the-art models for a wide range of tasks.
Statistical learning theory
TL;DR: Presenting a method for determining the necessary and sufficient conditions for consistency of learning process, the author covers function estimates from small data pools, applying these estimations to real-life problems, and much more.
