Ratio law: mathematical descriptions for a universal relationship between AI performance and input samples

  • 提出两个方程描述性能与少数样本比例的关系。
  • 用该规律指导训练,性能提升4.06%~5.28%。
  • 适用于多种分类器和任务,具广泛适用性。

基于机器学习和深度学习的人工智能在蛋白质结构预测、气候建模等领域取得显著进展,但其核心挑战仍在于“黑箱”特性,即输入与输出间缺乏精确的定量关系。通过分析323个用于预测人类必需蛋白的AI模型,我们发现模型性能与少数类样本占比之间存在一种比率定律,可通过两个简洁方程精确描述。进一步数学证明:当数据集平衡时,模型性能达到最优。更重要的是,我们探索该规律是否可用于提升模型表现。为此,将不均衡数据集划分为多个平衡子集,训练基础分类器,并采用基于袋装(bagging)的集成学习策略融合这些模型。结果表明,基于方程指导的策略显著提升了模型性能,分别实现4.06%和5.28%的提升,优于传统数据平衡技术。最后,在10个不同类型的二分类任务及多种分类器上验证了该方程的普适性和泛化能力。本研究揭示了连接AI输入与输出的两个精确方程,有助于揭开人工智能‘黑箱’之谜。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Artificial intelligence based on machine learning and deep learning has made significant advances in various fields such as protein structure prediction and climate modeling. However, a central challenge remains: the "black box" nature of AI, where precise quantitative relationships between inputs and outputs are often lacking. Here, by analyzing 323 AI models trained to predict human essential proteins, we uncovered a ratio law showing that model performance and the ratio of minority to majority samples can be closely linked by two concise equations. Moreover, we mathematically proved that an AI model achieves its optimal performance on a balanced dataset. More importantly, we next explore whether this finding can further guide us to enhance AI models' performance. Therefore, we divided the imbalanced dataset into several balanced subsets to train base classifiers, and then applied a bagging-based ensemble learning strategy to combine these base models. As a result, the equation-guided strategy substantially improved model performance, with increases of 4.06% and 5.28%, respectively, outperforming traditional dataset balancing techniques. Finally, we confirmed the broad applicability and generalization of these equations using different types of classifiers and 10 additional, diverse binary classification tasks. In summary, this study reveals two equations precisely linking AI's input and output, which could be helpful for unboxing the mysterious "black box" of AI.
