Beyond Homoscedasticity: Decoupled Uncertainty Optimization for Deep Imbalanced Regression

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper introduces DUO, a framework for Deep Imbalanced Regression that models each prediction as a conditional Gaussian to capture instance‑level uncertainty. By decoupling mean and variance optimization, DUO enhances learning signals for tail samples and mitigates gradient coupling that hampers hard examples. A distribution‑guided contrastive learning component further refines feature representations, leading to state‑of‑the‑art performance on several visual and biological regression benchmarks.

Two-sample comparison through additive tree models for density ratios

The paper introduces additive tree models for estimating the density ratio between two distributions, using a novel balancing loss that enables training with supervised learning algorithms such as forward‑stagewise optimization and gradient boosting. The loss also functions as a pseudo‑likelihood, allowing generalized Bayesian inference via backfitting samplers for Bayesian additive regression trees, which provides uncertainty quantification. Experiments show that the boosting algorithms achieve high accuracy with low computational cost, and the Bayesian approach offers competitive accuracy while delivering uncertainty estimates, demonstrated on microbiome compositional data.
