We propose Redundant Information Distillation which maximizes the task-relevant common information between teacher and student using a new alternating optimization: #explainability #informationtheory #distillation #modelcompression

Quantifying Knowledge Distillation Using Partial Information Decomposition Knowledge distillation deploys complex machine learning models in resource-constrained environments by training a smaller student model to emulate internal representations of a complex teacher model. ...

📢 Knowledge distillation trains smaller student models from complex teacher models. But are all teachers equally helpful? Can we formally quantify useful distillable knowledge? Our paper at #AISTATS2025 explains distillation using Partial Information Decomposition. arxiv.org/abs/2411.07483

Counterfactual Explanations for Model Ensembles Using Entropic Risk Measures Counterfactual explanations indicate the smallest change in input that can translate to a different outcome for a machine learning model. Counterfactuals have generated immense interest in high-stakes...

🔈 Sharing our recent paper on "Counterfactual Explanations for Model Ensembles Using Entropic Risk Measures" 🎉 🎉 Accepted at #AAMAS2025
Joint work with: Erfaun Noorani Pasan Dissanayake Faisal Hamman #Explainability #XAI #AlgorithmicRecourse #EntropicRisk arxiv.org/abs/2503.07934

Pasan's research focuses on reconstructing simpler, interpretable, and efficient models from larger complex models by specifically integrating explainability (recent publications at #NeurIPS2024 #AISTATS2025 #AAMAS2025)

Excited to share that my PhD student Sachindra Pasan Dissanayake has been awarded the Outstanding Graduate Assistant Award by the Graduate school (Top 2% of campus graduate assistants). #proudadvisor
