Language-Guided Reinforcement Learning for Hard Attention in Few-Shot Learning
Bahareh Nikpour
Attention mechanisms have demonstrated significant potential in enhancing learning models by identifying key portions of input data, particu… (voir plus)larly in scenarios with limited training samples. Inspired by human perception, we propose that focusing on essential data segments, rather than the entire dataset, can improve the accuracy and reliability of the learning models. However, identifying these critical data segments, or"hard attention finding,"is challenging, especially in few-shot learning, due to the scarcity of training data and the complexity of model parameters. To address this, we introduce LaHA, a novel framework that leverages language-guided deep reinforcement learning to identify and utilize informative data regions, thereby improving both interpretability and performance. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets validate the effectiveness of LaHA.
A deep learning benchmark for first break detection from hardrock seismic reflection data

Deep learning techniques are used to tackle a variety of tasks related to seismic data processing and interpretation. Although many works ha… (voir plus)ve shown the benefits of deep learning, assessing the generalization capabilities of proposed methods for data acquired in different conditions and geologic environments remains challenging. This is especially true for applications in hardrock environments. The primary factors that impede the adoption of machine learning in geosciences include the lack of publicly available and labeled data sets and the use of inadequate evaluation methodologies. Because machine learning models are prone to overfit and underperform when the data used to train them are site specific, the applicability of these models on new survey data that could be considered “out-of-distribution” is rarely addressed. This is unfortunate, as evaluating predictive models in out-of-distribution settings can provide a good insight into their usefulness in real-world use cases. To tackle these issues, we develop a simple benchmarking methodology for first break picking to evaluate the transferability of deep learning models that are trained across different environments and acquisition conditions. For this, we consider a reflection seismic survey data set acquired at five distinct hardrock mining sites combined with annotations for first break picking. We train and evaluate a baseline deep learning solution based on a U-Net for future comparisons and discuss potential improvements to this approach.

Debiasing Counterfactuals in the Presence of Spurious Correlations

Deep learning models can perform well in complex medical imaging classification tasks, even when basing their conclusions on spurious correl… (voir plus)ations (i.e. confounders), should they be prevalent in the training dataset, rather than on the causal image markers of interest. This would thereby limit their ability to generalize across the population. Explainability based on counterfactual image generation can be used to expose the confounders but does not provide a strategy to mitigate the bias. In this work, we introduce the first end-to-end training framework that integrates both (i) popular debiasing classifiers (e.g. distributionally robust optimization (DRO)) to avoid latching onto the spurious correlations and (ii) counterfactual image generation to unveil generalizable imaging markers of relevance to the task. Additionally, we propose a novel metric, Spurious Correlation Latching Score (SCLS), to quantify the extent of the classifier reliance on the spurious correlation as exposed by the counterfactual images. Through comprehensive experiments on two public datasets (with the simulated and real visual artifacts), we demonstrate that the debiasing method: (i) learns generalizable markers across the population, and (ii) successfully ignores spurious correlations and focuses on the underlying disease pathology.
