TLDR
A method to construct a selective classifier given a trained neural network, which allows a user to set a desired risk level and the classifier rejects instances as needed, to grant the desired risk (with high probability).
Abstract
Selective classification techniques (also known as reject option) have not yet been considered in the context of deep neural networks (DNNs). These techniques can potentially significantly improve DNNs prediction performance by trading-off coverage. In this paper we propose a method to construct a selective classifier given a trained neural network. Our method allows a user to set a desired risk level. At test time, the classifier rejects instances as needed, to grant the desired risk (with high probability). Empirical results over CIFAR and ImageNet convincingly demonstrate the viability of our method, which opens up possibilities to operate DNNs in mission-critical applications. For example, using our method an unprecedented 2% error in top-5 ImageNet classification can be guaranteed with probability 99.9%, with almost 60% test coverage.

Into the unknown: Active monitoring of neural networks

TL;DR: This work proposes an algorithmic framework for active monitoring of neural-network classifiers that allows for their deployment in dynamic environments where unknown input classes appear frequently, and adjusts the framework to novel inputs incrementally, thereby improving short-term reliability of the classification.

Solving math word problems with process- and outcome-based feedback

TL;DR: This paper showed that pure outcome-based supervision produces similar final-answer error rates with less label supervision, but for correct reasoning steps, it is necessary to use process-based supervised or supervision from learned reward models that emulate processbased feedback.

A new method to control error rates in automated species identification with deep learning algorithms.

TL;DR: A new framework to control the error rate of DLAs was proposed, where for each species, a confidence threshold was automatically computed using a training dataset independent from the one used to train the DLAs to minimize the risk of misclassification.
