Distribution-Shift Robustness via Diversity and Non-Learning

[CFAR Outstanding PhD Student Seminar Series]
Distribution-Shift Robustness via Diversity and Non-Learning by Lee Yoonho
17 Aug 2023 | 10.00am (Singapore Time)

Real-world conditions are non-stationary, rather than static. When deployed in the wild, machine learning (ML) systems encounter distribution shifts, i.e., conditions that differ from what was seen during training. Conventional machine learning systems often struggle to extrapolate to new data distributions, consequently leading to severe failures.

In this talk, Lee Yoonho from Stanford University will present two methods that make ML models more robust to distribution shifts based on the principles of diversity (considering all explanations) and non-learning (not adapting more than necessary).
