Deep Learning Under Privileged Information Using Heteroscedastic Dropout
Open accessAbstract
Unlike machines, humans learn through rapid, Abstract model-building. The role of a teacher is not simply to hammer home right or wrong answers, but rather to provide intuitive comments, comparisons, and explanations to a pupil. This is what the Learning Under Privileged Information (LUPI) paradigm endeavors to model by utilizing extra knowledge only available during training. We propose a new LUPI algorithm specifically designed for Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). We propose to use a heteroscedastic dropout (i.e. dropout with a varying variance) and make the variance of the dropout a function of privileged information. Intuitively, this corresponds to using the privileged information to control the uncertainty of the model output. We perform experiments using CNNs and RNNs for the tasks of image classification and machine translation. Our method significantly increases the sample efficiency during learning, resulting in higher accuracy with a large margin when the number of training examples is limited. We also theoretically justify the gains in sample efficiency by providing a generalization error bound decreasing with O(1/n), where n is the number of training examples, in an oracle case.

In 2019, Xue et al. [640] used ResNet-101 with Ensemble for classification of skin cancer on 1 dataset.
“Xue al. [640] | et | 2019 | ResNet-101 | Classification | Skin cancer | 1 | Ensemble”
From A review of uncertainty quantification in deep learning: Techniques, applications and challenges (2021) · cites this paper as [640]
The Datasets section says the paper's experiments use ImageNet and Multi-30K, not a skin-cancer dataset. Its Heteroscedastic Dropout Implementation section describes VGG-16 and ResNet-50, not a ResNet-101 ensemble. The cited paper therefore describes a different study from the Xue et al. entry.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
