  1. Learning-to-Defer with Expert-Conditional Advice

    Researchers have developed new methods for 'Learning-to-Defer' (L2D) systems, which decide whether to make a prediction or consult an expert. The latest advancements address limitations in existing frameworks by allowing systems to not only select an expert but also to provide that expert with additional, context-specific information. New approaches also extend L2D to utilize multiple experts simultaneously, enabling systems to query the top-k most cost-effective entities or adapt the number of experts based on input difficulty. AI

    IMPACT These advancements in Learning-to-Defer could lead to more efficient and accurate AI systems by optimizing expert consultation and enabling collaborative intelligence.

  2. Adversarial Robustness in One-Stage Learning-to-Defer

    Researchers have developed a new framework to enhance the adversarial robustness of one-stage learning-to-defer (L2D) systems. This approach addresses vulnerabilities in L2D models, which can be manipulated by adversarial perturbations to alter both predictions and deferral decisions. The proposed method includes formalizing attacks, introducing cost-sensitive adversarial surrogate losses, and providing theoretical guarantees for classification and regression tasks. Experiments demonstrate improved robustness against various attacks while maintaining performance on clean data. AI
