RDE: A novel approach to improve the classification performance and expressivity of KDB.

PloS one
Bayesian network classifiers (BNCs) have demonstrated competitive classification performance in a variety of real-world applications. A highly scalable BNC with high expressivity is extremely desirable. This paper proposes Redundant Dependence Elimin...

On the importance of hidden bias and hidden entropy in representational efficiency of the Gaussian-Bipolar Restricted Boltzmann Machines.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
In this paper, we analyze the role of hidden bias in representational efficiency of the Gaussian-Bipolar Restricted Boltzmann Machines (GBPRBMs), which are similar to the widely used Gaussian-Bernoulli RBMs. Our experiments show that hidden bias play...

Standard errors and confidence intervals for variable importance in random forest regression, classification, and survival.

Statistics in medicine
Random forests are a popular nonparametric tree ensemble procedure with broad applications to data analysis. While its widespread popularity stems from its prediction performance, an equally important feature is that it provides a fully nonparametric...

Understanding and diagnosing the potential for bias when using machine learning methods with doubly robust causal estimators.

Statistical methods in medical research
Data-adaptive methods have been proposed to estimate nuisance parameters when using doubly robust semiparametric methods for estimating marginal causal effects. However, in the presence of near practical positivity violations, these methods can produ...

Biased Dropout and Crossmap Dropout: Learning towards effective Dropout regularization in convolutional neural network.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Training a deep neural network with a large number of parameters often leads to overfitting problem. Recently, Dropout has been introduced as a simple, yet effective regularization approach to combat overfitting in such models. Although Dropout has s...

Too Much of a Good Thing: How Novelty Biases and Vocabulary Influence Known and Novel Referent Selection in 18-Month-Old Children and Associative Learning Models.

Cognitive science
Identifying the referent of novel words is a complex process that young children do with relative ease. When given multiple objects along with a novel word, children select the most novel item, sometimes retaining the word-referent link. Prior work i...

The Ugly Truth About Ourselves and Our Robot Creations: The Problem of Bias and Social Inequity.

Science and engineering ethics
Recently, there has been an upsurge of attention focused on bias and its impact on specialized artificial intelligence (AI) applications. Allegations of racism and sexism have permeated the conversation as stories surface about search engines deliver...
