Seminar • Algorithms and Complexity • Causal Structure Learning and Online Algorithms with ML Advice

Please note: This seminar will take place in DC 1304 and online.

Themis Gouleakis, Senior Research Fellow
National University of Singapore

The enormous success of the field of machine learning in recent years and its ability to make accurate predictions using data has also influenced research in other areas. In this talk, we will explore such settings where “machine learned advice” can be exploited.

PhD Defence • Machine Learning | Natural Language Processing • Less is More: Restricted Representations for Better Interpretability and Generalizability

Please note: This PhD defence will take place online.

Zhiying (Gin) Jiang, PhD candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Supervisor: Professor Jimmy Lin

In this thesis, we aim at improving interpretability and generalizability through restricting representations. We choose to approach interpretability by focusing on attribution analysis to understand which features contribute to prediction on BERT, and to approach generalizability by focusing on effective methods in low-data regime.
