Isolating effects of age with fair representation learning when assessing dementia

2018

One of the most prevalent symptoms among the elderly population, dementia, can be detected by classifiers trained on linguistic features extracted from narrative transcripts. However, these linguistic features are impacted in a similar but different …

OOD-Probe: A Neural Interpretation of Out-of-Domain Generalization

2022 · arXiv (Cornell University)

The ability to generalize out-of-domain (OOD) is an important goal for deep neural network development, and researchers have proposed many high-performing OOD generalization methods from various foundations. While many OOD algorithms perform well in various …

Neural reality of argument structure constructions

2022 · arXiv (Cornell University)

In lexicalist linguistic theories, argument structure is assumed to be predictable from the meaning of verbs. As a result, the verb is the primary determinant of the meaning of a clause. In contrast, construction grammarians …

A State-Vector Framework for Dataset Effects

2023 · arXiv (Cornell University)

The impressive success of recent deep neural network (DNN)-based systems is significantly influenced by the high-quality datasets used in training. However, the effects of the datasets, especially how they interact with each other, remain underexplored. …
