Despite their success in many domains, large language models (LLMs) remain under-studied in scenarios requiring optimal decision-making under uncertainty. This is crucial as many real-world applications, ranging from personalized recommendations to healthcare interventions, demand that LLMs not only…
Graph-structured data are ubiquitous. However, graphs encode diverse types of information and thus play different roles in data representation. In this paper, we distinguish the \textit{representational} and the \textit{correlational} roles played by the graphs in node-level prediction tasks, and we…
Normalizing flows transform a simple base distribution into a complex target distribution and have proved to be powerful models for data generation and density estimation. In this work, we propose a novel type of normalizing flow driven by a differential deformation of the continuous-time Wiener pro…
Recurrent neural networks have gained widespread use in modeling sequential data. Learning long-term dependencies using these models remains difficult though, due to exploding or vanishing gradients. In this paper, we draw connections between recurrent networks and ordinary differential equations. A…
Monte Carlo tree search (MCTS) has been widely adopted in various game and planning problems. It can efficiently explore a search space with guided random sampling. In statistics, vine copulas are flexible multivariate dependence models that adopt vine structures, which are based on a hierarchy of t…
Existing methods for multi-domain image-to-image translation attempt to directly map inputs to outputs using a single model. However, these methods have limited scalability and robustness. Inspired by module networks, this paper propose ModularGAN for multi-domain image-to-image translation that con…
Deep residual networks (ResNets) and their variants are widely used in many computer vision applications and natural language processing tasks. However, the theoretical principles for designing and training ResNets are still not fully understood. Recently, several points of view have emerged to try…
