SODA: Bottleneck Diffusion Models for Representation Learning

CVPR 2024poster

We introduce SODA a self-supervised diffusion model designed for representation learning. The model incorporates an image encoder which distills a source view into a compact representation that in turn guides the generation of related novel views. We show that by imposing a tight bottleneck between…

Tell me why! Explanations support learning relational and causal structure

ICML 2022spotlight

Inferring the abstract relational and causal structure of the world is a major challenge for reinforcement-learning (RL) agents. For humans, language{—}particularly in the form of explanations{—}plays a considerable role in overcoming this challenge. Here, we show that language can play a similar ro…

An analytic theory of generalization dynamics and transfer learning in deep linear networks

ICLR 2019poster

Much attention has been devoted recently to the generalization puzzle in deep learning: large, deep networks can generalize well, but existing theories bounding generalization error are exceedingly loose, and thus cannot explain this striking performance. Furthermore, a major hope is that knowledge…
