Coupled Training with Privileged Information and Unlabeled Data

arXiv:2605. 23268v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In many prediction problems, we have extra information during training (for example, measurements that are expensive or slow to collect) that will not be available when the model is deployed.

Counterfactual Model Testing Under Distribution Shift

The paper addresses the problem of evaluating deployed machine learning models when their input data distribution shifts, which can arise from changes in the underlying population or from data integrity issues in the feature pipeline. It proposes an online model‑testing framework that reproduces the detected shift on a controlled baseline with known labels, distinguishing between the two mechanisms of shift to estimate current performance and potential gains from repairing data integrity problems. Experiments on real‑world datasets with simulated faults demonstrate that separating the two sources of shift generally improves performance estimates, and a churn‑prediction case study shows how these tests can guide monitoring and repair prioritization.
