In this paper, a novel pattern classification approach is proposed by regularizing the classifier learning to maximize mutual information between the classification response and the true class label. We argue that, with the learned classifier, the uncertainty of the true class label of a data sample should be reduced by knowing its classification response as much as possible. The reduced uncertainty is measured by the mutual information between the classification response and the true class label. To this end, when learning a linear classifier, we propose to maximize the mutual information between classification responses and true class labels of training samples, besides minimizing the classification error and reduc- ing the classifier complexity. An objective function is constructed by modeling mutual information with entropy estimation, and it is optimized by a gradi- ent descend method in an iterative algorithm. Experiments on two real world pattern classification problems show the significant improvements achieved by maximum mutual information regularization.

As reinforcement learning techniques are increasingly applied to real-world decision problems, attention has turned to how these algorithms use potentially sensitive information. We consider the task of training a policy that maximizes reward while m
inimizing disclosure of certain sensitive state variables through the actions. We give examples of how this setting covers real-world problems in privacy for sequential decision-making. We solve this problem in the policy gradients framework by introducing a regularizer based on the mutual information (MI) between the sensitive state and the actions at a given timestep. We develop a model-based stochastic gradient estimator for optimization of privacy-constrained policies. We also discuss an alternative MI regularizer that serves as an upper bound to our main MI regularizer and can be optimized in a model-free setting. We contrast previous work in differentially-private RL to our mutual-information formulation of information disclosure. Experimental results show that our training method results in policies which hide the sensitive state.
In this paper we investigate the usage of regularized correntropy framework for learning of classifiers from noisy labels. The class label predictors learned by minimizing transitional loss functions are sensitive to the noisy and outlying labels of
training samples, because the transitional loss functions are equally applied to all the samples. To solve this problem, we propose to learn the class label predictors by maximizing the correntropy between the predicted labels and the true labels of the training samples, under the regularized Maximum Correntropy Criteria (MCC) framework. Moreover, we regularize the predictor parameter to control the complexity of the predictor. The learning problem is formulated by an objective function considering the parameter regularization and MCC simultaneously. By optimizing the objective function alternately, we develop a novel predictor learning algorithm. The experiments on two chal- lenging pattern classification tasks show that it significantly outperforms the machines with transitional loss functions.
We introduce Transductive Infomation Maximization (TIM) for few-shot learning. Our method maximizes the mutual information between the query features and their label predictions for a given few-shot task, in conjunction with a supervision loss based
on the support set. We motivate our transductive loss by deriving a formal relation between the classification accuracy and mutual-information maximization. Furthermore, we propose a new alternating-direction solver, which substantially speeds up transductive inference over gradient-based optimization, while yielding competitive accuracy. We also provide a convergence analysis of our solver based on Zangwills theory and bound-optimization arguments. TIM inference is modular: it can be used on top of any base-training feature extractor. Following standard transductive few-shot settings, our comprehensive experiments demonstrate that TIM outperforms state-of-the-art methods significantly across various datasets and networks, while used on top of a fixed feature extractor trained with simple cross-entropy on the base classes, without resorting to complex meta-learning schemes. It consistently brings between 2 % and 5 % improvement in accuracy over the best performing method, not only on all the well-established few-shot benchmarks but also on more challenging scenarios, with random tasks, domain shift and larger numbers of classes, as in the recently introduced META-DATASET. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/mboudiaf/TIM. We also publicly release a standalone PyTorch implementation of META-DATASET, along with additional benchmarking results, at https://github.com/mboudiaf/pytorch-meta-dataset.
Traditionally, quantization is designed to minimize the reconstruction error of a data source. When considering downstream classification tasks, other measures of distortion can be of interest; such as the 0-1 classification loss. Furthermore, it is
desirable that the performance of these quantizers not deteriorate once they are deployed into production, as relearning the scheme online is not always possible. In this work, we present a class of algorithms that learn distributed quantization schemes for binary classification tasks. Our method performs well on unseen data, and is faster than previous methods proportional to a quadratic term of the dataset size. It works by regularizing the 0-1 loss with the reconstruction error. We present experiments on synthetic mixture and bivariate Gaussian data and compare training, testing, and generalization errors with a family of benchmark quantization schemes from the literature. Our method is called Regularized Classification-Aware Quantization.
How to extract effective expression representations that invariant to the identity-specific attributes is a long-lasting problem for facial expression recognition (FER). Most of the previous methods process the RGB images of a sequence, while we argu
e that the off-the-shelf and valuable expression-related muscle movement is already embedded in the compression format. In this paper, we target to explore the inter-subject variations eliminated facial expression representation in the compressed video domain. In the up to two orders of magnitude compressed domain, we can explicitly infer the expression from the residual frames and possibly extract identity factors from the I frame with a pre-trained face recognition network. By enforcing the marginal independence of them, the expression feature is expected to be purer for the expression and be robust to identity shifts. Specifically, we propose a novel collaborative min-min game for mutual information (MI) minimization in latent space. We do not need the identity label or multiple expression samples from the same person for identity elimination. Moreover, when the apex frame is annotated in the dataset, the complementary constraint can be further added to regularize the feature-level game. In testing, only the compressed residual frames are required to achieve expression prediction. Our solution can achieve comparable or better performance than the recent decoded image-based methods on the typical FER benchmarks with about 3 times faster inference.
