Discriminative Classifier

Discriminative classifiers aim to directly model the decision boundary between different classes, optimizing for accurate classification rather than explicitly modeling data distributions. Current research explores diverse architectures, including hierarchical mixtures of classifiers for compositional data and the integration of normalizing flows to improve semi-supervised learning and address inherent biases in pseudo-labeling. These advancements are crucial for applications ranging from spam detection and image recognition to structural health monitoring and legal challenges to algorithmic bias, improving both model accuracy and fairness.
