Evaluating Robustness to Dataset Shift via Parametric Robustness Sets

This repository consists of two components: First, code to reproduce experiments and figures in Evaluating Robustness to Dataset Shift via Parametric Robustness Sets, and second, a small python package which implements the methods described in the paper.

Reproducing paper figures and experiments

The code for reproducing the experiments and figures in the paper are in the folder experiments, and details are provided in the corresponding README.md file.

Acknowledgements: To construct our simulation setup in the CelebA experiments, we make use of a (slightly) modified version of the CausalGAN code, taken from mkocaoglu/CausalGAN. You can find the original CausalGAN paper here. Our modified version can be found in the CausalGAN subfolder, along with helper scripts we used in our experiments.

Usage of shift_gradients package

In source/shift_gradients.py, we include generic methods that implement the second-order approximation method described in the paper, and which uses the trustregion package to solve for the worst-case shift of bounded strength.

Inputs

To use on a data set with n samples, we assume the following input

  • loss: a numpy or torch array of shape (n,) containing prediction loss of each individual dataset.
    • e.g. to evaluate accuracy under a shift, define loss = 1.0*(Y == model(X)). To evaluate the MSE define loss = (Y - model(X))**2.
  • W: a numpy or torch array of shape (n,d) containing the variable(s) that shift.
  • sufficient_statistic: Either of
    1. a string in ['gaussian', 'binary', 'binomial', 'poisson', 'exponential'], which loads the relevant sufficient statistic.
    2. a function that takes as input W and outputs the sufficient statistic of W. See here for a table of sufficient statistics. For example, if the sufficient statistic is T(W) = W, define sufficient_statistic = lambda W: W.

Example

For example, consider a marginal mean shift in a Gaussian variable W.

import numpy as np
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression
from source.shift_gradients import ShiftLossEstimator
sle = ShiftLossEstimator()

# Generate data and fit model
n = 100
W = np.random.normal(size=(n,1))
Y = np.sin(W) + W**2 + np.random.normal(size=(n,1))
model = LinearRegression().fit(W, Y)
# Evaluate loss per data point 
loss = (Y - model.predict(W))**2

We can now estimate the loss in a distribution where the mean of W shifts by 2.

estimated_loss_under_delta = sle.forward(loss, W, sufficient_statistic='gaussian', delta=2.0)

Alternatively, to estimate the loss under an arbitrary shift delta of magnitude smaller than shift_strength,

shift_strength = 2
estimated_loss_under_shift = sle.forward(loss, W, sufficient_statistic='gaussian', shift_strength=shift_strength)

Conditional shift

To consider a shift in a conditional distribution W|Z, pass an input Z:

  • Z: a numpy or torch array of shape (n,d) containing the parents of the shifting variable. Currently, only binary conditioning variables are supported.

Non-linear shift

The default shift function is s(Z; delta) = delta. However, for more involved shifts, one can pass functions s_grad and s_hess to the ShiftLossEstimator class (not the forward function), which return the gradient and Hessian of s when differentiated with respect to delta.

  • s_grad: Function which takes as input Z and outputs a (n,d_delta,d_T) dimensional array, for each sample point outputting the (d_delta, d_T) dimensional derivative of s, where d_delta is the number of parameters and d_T is the dimension of the sufficient statistic.
  • s_hess: Function which takes as input Z and outputs a (n,d_delta,d_delta,d_T) dimensional array, for each sample point outputting the (d_delta, d_delta, d_T) dimensional double derivative of s where d_delta is the number of parameters and d_T is the dimension of the sufficient statistic.

Cases when worst-case loss is larger

When finding a worst-case loss, the default setting is that a larger loss is a worst case scenario. For some loss functions, such as accuracy, a smaller value of the loss function is a worse scenario. In that case, one can set worst_case_is_larger_loss=False.

  • worst_case_is_larger_loss: bool (default = False) indicating whether adversarial shift increases loss (True) or decreases loss (False).

Shifts in multiple variables

To handle simultaneous shifts in multiple variables W_1, ..., W_m, pass a list W = [W_1, ..., W_m] where each W_i is a (n,) dimensional array and a list sufficient_statistic = [ss_1, ..., ss_m] where each ss_i is either a string or function (see Inputs above). If considering conditional shifts, one can additionally pass a list Z = [Z_1, ..., Z_m], where each Z_i is a (n, d_i) dimensional array of conditioning variables.
