Fast and Furious Convergence: Stochastic Second Order Methods under Interpolation
We consider stochastic second-order methods for minimizing smooth and strongly-convex functions under an interpolation condition …
RelatIF: Identifying Explanatory Training Examples via Relative Influence
In this work, we focus on the use of influence functions to identify relevant training examples that one might hope …
Stochastic Neural Network with Kronecker Flow
Recent advances in variational inference enable the modelling of highly structured joint distributions, but are limited in their …
A Closer Look at the Optimization Landscapes of Generative Adversarial Networks
Generative adversarial networks have been very successful in generative modeling, however they remain relatively challenging to train …
A Meta-Transfer Objective for Learning to Disentangle Causal Mechanisms
We propose to meta-learn causal structures based on how fast a learner adapts to new distributions arising from sparse distributional …
Finding and Visualizing Weaknesses of Deep Reinforcement Learning Agents
As deep reinforcement learning driven by visual perception becomes more widely used there is a growing need to better understand and …
N-BEATS: Neural basis expansion analysis for interpretable time series forecasting
We focus on solving the univariate times series point forecasting problem using deep learning. We propose a deep neural architecture …
Reinforced Active Learning for Image Segmentation
Learning-based approaches for semantic segmentation have two inherent challenges. First, acquiring pixel-wise labels is expensive and …
The Variational Bandwidth Bottleneck: Stochastic Evaluation on an Information Budget
In many applications, it is desirable to extract only the relevant information from complex input data, which involves making a …
Phylogenetic Manifold Regularization: a semi-supervised approach to predict transcription factor binding sites
The computational prediction of transcription factor binding sites remains a challenging problems in bioinformatics, despite …
