Semi-supervised learning and fairness-aware learning under class imbalance

With the advent of Web 2.0 and the rapid technological advances, there is a plethora of data in every field; however, more data does not necessarily imply more information, rather the quality of data (veracity aspect) plays a key role. Data quality is a major issue, since machine learning algorithms are solely based on historical data to derive novel hypotheses. Data may contain noise, outliers, missing values and/or class labels, and skewed data distributions. The latter case, the so-called class-imbalance problem, is quite old and still affects dramatically machine learning algorithms. Class-imbalance causes classification models to learn effectively one particular class (majority) while ignoring other classes (minority). In extend to this issue, machine learning models that are applied in domains of high societal impact have become biased towards groups of people or individuals who are not well represented within the data. Direct and indirect discriminatory behavior is prohibited by international laws; thus, there is an urgency of mitigating discriminatory outcomes from machine learning algorithms. In this thesis, we address the aforementioned issues and propose methods that tackle class imbalance, and mitigate discriminatory outcomes in machine learning algorithms. As part of this thesis, we make the following contributions: • Tackling class-imbalance in semi-supervised learning – The class-imbalance problem is very often encountered in classification. There is a variety of methods that tackle this problem; however, there is a lack of methods that deal with class-imbalance in the semi-supervised learning. We address this problem by employing data augmentation in semi-supervised learning process in order to equalize class distributions. We show that semi-supervised learning coupled with data augmentation methods can overcome class-imbalance propagation and significantly outperform the standard semi-supervised annotation process. • Mitigating unfairness in supervised models – Fairness in supervised learning has received a lot of attention over the last years. A growing body of pre-, in- and postprocessing approaches has been proposed to mitigate algorithmic bias; however, these methods consider error rate as the performance measure of the machine learning algorithm, which causes high error rates on the under-represented class. To deal with this problem, we propose approaches that operate in pre-, in- and post-processing layers while accounting for all classes. Our proposed methods outperform state-of-the-art methods in terms of performance while being able to mitigate unfair outcomes

Classifying distinct data types: textual streams protein sequences and genomic variants

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an interdisciplinary field combining different research areas with the end goal to automate processes in the everyday life and industry. The fundamental components of AI models are an “intelligent” model and a functional component defined by the end-application. That is, an intelligent model can be a statistical model that can recognize patterns in data instances to distinguish differences in between these instances. For example, if the AI is applied in car manufacturing, based on an image of a part of a car, the model can categorize if the car part is in the front, middle or rear compartment of the car, as a human brain would do. For the same example application, the statistical model informs a mechanical arm, the functional component, for the current car compartment and the arm in turn assembles this compartment, of the car, based on predefined instructions, likely as a human hand would follow human brain neural signals. A crucial step of AI applications is the classification of input instances by the intelligent model. The classification step in the intelligent model pipeline allows the subsequent steps to act in similar fashion for instances belonging to the same category. We define as classification the module of the intelligent model, which categorizes the input instances based on predefined human-expert or data-driven produced patterns of the instances. Irrespectively of the method to find patterns in data, classification is composed of four distinct steps: (i) input representation, (ii) model building (iii) model prediction and (iv) model assessment. Based on these classification steps, we argue that applying classification on distinct data types holds different challenges. In this thesis, I focus on challenges for three distinct classification scenarios: (i) Textual Streams: how to advance the model building step, commonly used for static distribution of data, to classify textual posts with transient data distribution? (ii) Protein Prediction: which biologically meaningful information can be used in the input representation step to overcome the limited training data challenge? (iii) Human Variant Pathogenicity Prediction: how to develop a classification system for functional impact of human variants, by providing standardized and well accepted evidence for the classification outcome and thus enabling the model assessment step? To answer these research questions, I present my contributions in classifying these different types of data: temporalMNB: I adapt the sequential prediction with expert advice paradigm to optimally aggregate complementary distributions to enhance a Naive Bayes model to adapt on drifting distribution of the characteristics of the textual posts. dom2vec: our proposal to learn embedding vectors for the protein domains using self-supervision. Based on the high performance achieved by the dom2vec embeddings in quantitative intrinsic assessment on the captured biological information, I provide example evidence for an analogy between the local linguistic features in natural languages and the domain structure and function information in domain architectures. Last, I describe GenOtoScope bioinformatics software tool to automate standardized evidence-based criteria for pathogenicity impact of variants associated with hearing loss. Finally, to increase the practical use of our last contribution, I develop easy-to-use software interfaces to be used, in research settings, by clinical diagnostics personnel.Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) ist ein interdisziplinäres Gebiet, das verschiedene Forschungsbereiche mit dem Ziel verbindet, Prozesse im Alltag und in der Industrie zu automatisieren. Die grundlegenden Komponenten von KI-Modellen sind ein “intelligentes” Modell und eine durch die Endanwendung definierte funktionale Komponente. Das heißt, ein intelligentes Modell kann ein statistisches Modell sein, das Muster in Dateninstanzen erkennen kann, um Unterschiede zwischen diesen Instanzen zu unterscheiden. Wird die KI beispielsweise in der Automobilherstellung eingesetzt, kann das Modell auf der Grundlage eines Bildes eines Autoteils kategorisieren, ob sich das Autoteil im vorderen, mittleren oder hinteren Bereich des Autos befindet, wie es ein menschliches Gehirn tun würde. Bei der gleichen Beispielanwendung informiert das statistische Modell einen mechanischen Arm, die funktionale Komponente, über den aktuellen Fahrzeugbereich, und der Arm wiederum baut diesen Bereich des Fahrzeugs auf der Grundlage vordefinierter Anweisungen zusammen, so wie eine menschliche Hand den neuronalen Signalen des menschlichen Gehirns folgen würde. Ein entscheidender Schritt bei KI-Anwendungen ist die Klassifizierung von Eingabeinstanzen durch das intelligente Modell. Unabhängig von der Methode zum Auffinden von Mustern in Daten besteht die Klassifizierung aus vier verschiedenen Schritten: (i) Eingabedarstellung, (ii) Modellbildung, (iii) Modellvorhersage und (iv) Modellbewertung. Ausgehend von diesen Klassifizierungsschritten argumentiere ich, dass die Anwendung der Klassifizierung auf verschiedene Datentypen unterschiedliche Herausforderungen mit sich bringt. In dieser Arbeit konzentriere ich uns auf die Herausforderungen für drei verschiedene Klassifizierungsszenarien: (i) Textdatenströme: Wie kann der Schritt der Modellerstellung, der üblicherweise für eine statische Datenverteilung verwendet wird, weiterentwickelt werden, um die Klassifizierung von Textbeiträgen mit einer instationären Datenverteilung zu erlernen? (ii) Proteinvorhersage: Welche biologisch sinnvollen Informationen können im Schritt der Eingabedarstellung verwendet werden, um die Herausforderung der begrenzten Trainingsdaten zu überwinden? (iii) Vorhersage der Pathogenität menschlicher Varianten: Wie kann ein Klassifizierungssystem für die funktionellen Auswirkungen menschlicher Varianten entwickelt werden, indem standardisierte und anerkannte Beweise für das Klassifizierungsergebnis bereitgestellt werden und somit der Schritt der Modellbewertung ermöglicht wird? Um diese Forschungsfragen zu beantworten, stelle ich meine Beiträge zur Klassifizierung dieser verschiedenen Datentypen vor: temporalMNB: Verbesserung des Naive-Bayes-Modells zur Klassifizierung driftender Textströme durch Ensemble-Lernen. dom2vec: Lernen von Einbettungsvektoren für Proteindomänen durch Selbstüberwachung. Auf der Grundlage der berichteten Ergebnisse liefere ich Beispiele für eine Analogie zwischen den lokalen linguistischen Merkmalen in natürlichen Sprachen und den Domänenstruktur- und Funktionsinformationen in Domänenarchitekturen. Schließlich beschreibe ich ein bioinformatisches Softwaretool, GenOtoScope, zur Automatisierung standardisierter evidenzbasierter Kriterien für die orthogenitätsauswirkungen von Varianten, die mit angeborener Schwerhörigkeit in Verbindung stehen

Acquiring and Exploiting Lexical Knowledge for Twitter Sentiment Analysis

The most popular sentiment analysis task in Twitter is the automatic classification of tweets into sentiment categories such as positive, negative, and neutral. State-of-the-art solutions to this problem are based on supervised machine learning models trained from manually annotated examples. These models are affected by label sparsity, because the manual annotation of tweets is labour-intensive and time-consuming. This thesis addresses the label sparsity problem for Twitter polarity classification by automatically building two type of resources that can be exploited when labelled data is scarce: opinion lexicons, which are lists of words labelled by sentiment, and synthetically labelled tweets. In the first part of the thesis, we induce Twitter-specific opinion lexicons by training words level classifiers using representations that exploit different sources of information: (a) the morphological information conveyed by part-of-speech (POS) tags, (b) associations between words and the sentiment expressed in the tweets that contain them, and (c) distributional representations calculated from unlabelled tweets. Experimental results show that the induced lexicons produce significant improvements over existing manually annotated lexicons for tweet-level polarity classification. In the second part of the thesis, we develop distant supervision methods for generating synthetic training data for Twitter polarity classification by exploiting unlabelled tweets and prior lexical knowledge. Positive and negative training instances are generated by averaging unlabelled tweets annotated according to a given polarity lexicon. We study different mechanisms for selecting the candidate tweets to be averaged. Our experimental results show that the training data generated by the proposed models produce classifiers that perform significantly better than classifiers trained from tweets annotated with emoticons, a popular distant supervision approach for Twitter sentiment analysis

Front-Line Physicians' Satisfaction with Information Systems in Hospitals

Day-to-day operations management in hospital units is difficult due to continuously varying situations, several actors involved and a vast number of information systems in use. The aim of this study was to describe front-line physicians' satisfaction with existing information systems needed to support the day-to-day operations management in hospitals. A cross-sectional survey was used and data chosen with stratified random sampling were collected in nine hospitals. Data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The response rate was 65 % (n = 111). The physicians reported that information systems support their decision making to some extent, but they do not improve access to information nor are they tailored for physicians. The respondents also reported that they need to use several information systems to support decision making and that they would prefer one information system to access important information. Improved information access would better support physicians' decision making and has the potential to improve the quality of decisions and speed up the decision making process.Peer reviewe
