Despite the success of deep neural networks in medical image classification, the problem remains challenging as data annotation is time-consuming, and the class distribution is imbalanced due to the relative scarcity of diseases. To address…
Traditionally, data valuation (DV) is posed as a problem of equitably splitting the validation performance of a learning algorithm among the training data. As a result, the calculated data values depend on many design choices of the…
As opposed to standard empirical risk minimization (ERM), distributionally robust optimization aims to minimize the worst-case risk over a larger ambiguity set containing the original empirical distribution of the training data. In this…
