General ML Testing

General ML testing is foundational to ensuring the reliability and fairness of your AI models. It encompasses a variety of practices aimed at making models trustworthy:

1. Machine learning testing: Survey, landscapes and horizons (Zhang et al., 2020)
2. Quality Assurance for AI-based Systems: Overview and Challenges (Felderer et al., 2021)
3. The ML Test Score: A Rubric for ML Production Readiness (Breck et al., 2017)

Tabular Machine Learning

For tabular data, model drift detection and automated validation are key:

1. ML Model Drift Detection (Ackerman et al., 2021)
2. Automated Data Slicing for Model Validation (Chung et al., 2020)

Natural Language Processing

In natural language processing, behavioral testing and bias assessments are vital:

1. Beyond Accuracy: Behavioral Testing of NLP Models (Ribeiro et al., 2020)
2. Pipelines for Social Bias Testing (Nozza et al., 2022)

Computer Vision

In the realm of computer vision, detecting and mitigating biases and errors can be challenging yet necessary:

1. DOMINO: Discovering Systematic Errors with Cross-modal Embeddings (Eyuboglu et al., 2022)
2. Explaining in Style: Training a GAN to explain a classifier (Lang et al., 2022)

Recommendation System

Recommendation systems benefit from behavioral testing to assess their performance thoroughly:

1. Beyond NDCG: Behavioral Testing of Recommender Systems (Chia et al., 2021)

Time Series

Although less covered, time-series modeling still requires careful assessment. Contributions in this field are welcome.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

While working with AI safety measures, you may face challenges. Here are some common issues and solutions:

  • Issue: Difficulty in understanding which papers are relevant to your use case.
  • Solution: Use hashtags like #robustness and #fairness to filter your search effectively.
  • Issue: Encountering technical jargon and complex papers.
  • Solution: Break down the documents into simpler concepts or consult with a colleague using the knowledge from the AI Incident Database.
