The foundations of cost-sensitive causal classification
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
Cost-sensitive and causal classification methods have independently been proposed to improve the performance of classification models. ...
The framework encompasses a range of existing and novel performance measures for evaluating both causal and conventional classification models in a cost-sensitive as well as a cost-insensitive manner. ...
To this end, we formalize the foundations of cost-sensitive evaluation of conventional classification models by introducing the effect matrix as the difference between the confusion matrix of a classification ...

To do or not to do: cost-sensitive causal decision-making
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
In this article, we therefore extend upon the expected value framework and formally introduce a cost-sensitive decision boundary for double binary causal classification, which is a linear function of the ...
The boundary allows causally classifying instances in the positive and negative treatment class to maximize the expected causal profit, which is introduced as the objective at hand in cost-sensitive causal ...

Abstracting Fairness: Oracles, Metrics, and Interpretability
2020
Symposium on Foundations of Responsible Computing
Our results have implications for interpretablity - a highly desired but poorly defined property of classification systems that endeavors to permit a human arbiter to reject classifiers deemed to be "unfair ...
Our principal conceptual result is an extraction procedure that learns the underlying truth; moreover, the procedure can learn an approximation to this truth given access to a weak form of the oracle. ...
In this definition, the causal model replaces the metric as the specification of fairness. ...

Stochastic microstructure characterization and reconstruction via supervised learning
2016
Acta Materialia
By treating the digitized microstructure image as a set of training data, we generically learn the stochastic nature of the microstructure via fitting a supervised learning model to it (we focus on classification ...
The fitted supervised learning model provides an implicit characterization of the joint distribution of the collection of pixel phases in the image. ...
The characterization (Char.) cost includes the total cost of fitting the tree. The reconstruction (Rec.) cost is associated with reconstructing the patterned blue region in Fig. 7. ...
