摘要:

在未经策划的数据集上训练的机器学习模型通常会对属于代表性不足的群体的输入产生不利影响。为了解决这个问题,我们考虑的问题,自适应地构建训练集,使我们能够学习分类器是公平的,在极大极小意义上。首先,我们提出了一种基于乐观原则的自适应采样算法,并推导出其性能的理论界。我们还提出了启发式扩展,该算法适用于大规模的,实际的问题。接下来,通过推导算法独立的下界为一类特定的问题,我们表明,我们的自适应方案所取得的性能一般不能得到改善。然后,我们验证了自适应构建训练集的好处,通过实验与逻辑回归分类器的合成任务,以及在几个现实世界的任务,使用卷积神经网络(CNN)。

英文摘要:

Machine learning models trained on uncurated datasets can often end up adversely affecting inputs belonging to underrepresented groups. To address this issue, we consider the problem of adaptively constructing training sets which allow us to learn classifiers that are fair in a minimax sense. We first propose an adaptive sampling algorithm based on the principle of optimism, and derive theoretical bounds on its performance. We also propose heuristic extensions of this algorithm suitable for application to large scale, practical problems. Next, by deriving algorithm independent lower-bounds for a specific class of problems, we show that the performance achieved by our adaptive scheme cannot be improved in general. We then validate the benefits of adaptively constructing training sets via experiments on synthetic tasks with logistic regression classifiers, as well as on several real-world tasks using convolutional neural networks (CNNs).
