Proxy Denoising

Proxy denoising techniques aim to improve the accuracy and reliability of predictions from imperfect or biased data sources, particularly in challenging machine learning scenarios like domain adaptation and fair decision-making. Current research focuses on leveraging proxy variables or models to generate cleaner, more representative data, employing methods such as variational autoencoders and kernel estimation to handle noisy or incomplete information. These advancements are significant because they enable more robust and equitable machine learning models, improving performance in applications where access to perfect ground truth data is limited or where biases are present in available data.
