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.

Generative Well-intentioned Networks

TL;DR: Generative Well-intentioned Networks are proposed, a novel framework for increasing the accuracy of certainty-based, closed-world classifiers by introducing a reject option to the classifier during inference, allowing the classifiers to reject an observation instance rather than predict an uncertain label.

Budget Learning via Bracketing

TL;DR: This work proposes a new formulation for the budget learning problem via the concept of bracketings, providing PAC-style learnability definitions; associating the notion of budget learnability to approximability via brackets; and giving VC-theoretic analyses of their properties.

Utilizing Network Properties to Detect Erroneous Inputs.

TL;DR: This work trains a linear SVM classifier to detect these four types of erroneous data using hidden and softmax feature vectors of pre-trained neural networks, and indicates that these faulty data types generally exhibit linearly separable activation properties from correct examples, giving the ability to reject bad inputs with no extra training or overhead.

SoCal: Selective Oracle Questioning for Consistency-based Active Learning of Cardiac Signals

TL;DR: This work proposes SoCal, a consistency-based AL framework that dynamically determines whether to request a label from an oracle or to generate a pseudo-label instead, and shows that this framework decreases the labelling burden while maintaining strong performance, even in the presence of a noisy oracle.

Stop Overcomplicating Selective Classification: Use Max-Logit

TL;DR: This paper argues that the superior performance of state-of-the-art methods is owed to training a more generalizable classifier; however, their selection mechanism is suboptimal, and motivates an alternative selection strategy based on the cross entropy loss for the classi-class settings, namely, max of the logits.
