Distribution Alignment

Distribution alignment has the opposite objective of classification and is useful for constraining ML problems.

Localized Learning

Localized learning avoids end-to-end learning by updating model parts via non-global objectives.

Explainable AI

Explaining distribution shifts and prediction uncertainty are important for modern AI systems.
