Towards Robust Deep Learning using Entropic Losses
Current deep learning solutions are well known for not informing whether they can reliably classify an example during inference. One of the most effective ways to build more reliable deep learning solutions is to improve their performance in the so-called out-of-distribution detection task, which essentially consists of "know that you do not know" or "know the unknown". In other words, out-of-distribution detection capable systems may reject performing a nonsense classification when submitted to instances of classes on which the neural network was not trained. This thesis tackles the defiant out-of-distribution detection task by proposing novel loss functions and detection scores. Uncertainty estimation is also a crucial auxiliary task in building more robust deep learning systems. Therefore, we also deal with this robustness-related task, which evaluates how realistic the probabilities presented by the deep neural network are. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, in addition to a substantial set of experiments, which includes state-of-the-art results, we use arguments based on the principle of maximum entropy to establish the theoretical foundation of the proposed approaches. Unlike most current methods, our losses and scores are seamless and principled solutions that produce accurate predictions in addition to fast and efficient inference. Moreover, our approaches can be incorporated into current and future projects simply by replacing the loss used to train the deep neural network and computing a rapid score for detection.

Cash non-additive risk measures: horizon risk and generalized entropy
Horizon risk (see arXiv:2301.04971) is studied in the context of cash non-additive fully-dynamic risk measures induced by BSDEs. Furthermore, we introduce a risk measure based on generalized Tsallis entropy which can dyn…
Mitigating optimistic bias in entropic risk estimation and optimization with an application to insurance
The entropic risk measure is widely used in high-stakes decision making to account for tail risks associated with an uncertain loss. With limited data, the empirical entropic risk estimator, i.e. replacing the expectatio…

Mixability is a property of a loss which characterizes when fast convergence is possible in the game of prediction with expert advice. We show that a key property of mixability generalizes, and the exp and log operations…
