MesaNet: Sequence Modeling by Locally Optimal Test-Time Training

ICLR 2026poster

Sequence modeling is currently dominated by causal transformer architectures that use softmax self-attention. Although widely adopted, transformers require scaling memory and compute linearly during inference. A recent stream of work linearized the softmax operation, resulting in powerful recurrent…

Multi-agent cooperation through learning-aware policy gradients

ICLR 2025poster

Self-interested individuals often fail to cooperate, posing a fundamental challenge for multi-agent learning. How can we achieve cooperation among self-interested, independent learning agents? Promising recent work has shown that in certain tasks cooperation can be established between ``learning-awa…

Generative Models for Effective ML on Private, Decentralized Datasets

ICLR 2020poster

To improve real-world applications of machine learning, experienced modelers develop intuition about their datasets, their models, and how the two interact. Manual inspection of raw data—of representative samples, of outliers, of misclassifications—is an essential tool in a) identifying and fixing p…

Communication-Efficient Learning of Deep Networks from Decentralized Data

AISTATS 2017poster

Modern mobile devices have access to a wealth of data suitable for learning models, which in turn can greatly improve the user experience on the device. For example, language models can improve speech recognition and text entry, and image models can automatically select good photos. However, this ri…
