The learning dynamics of modern neural networks remain an open problem in deep learning. The Neural Tangent Kernel (NTK) offers an elegant description of training dynamics in the infinite‑width limit, yet its classical formulation assumes a static data set. Modern model training practice departs fro
Developments in deep neural nets have trended towards increasingly larger overparameterized architectures, resulting in lengthy training sessions with ever more elusive training dynamics. Thus, ensuring these models learn accurate generalizable representations of data efficiently is challenging. Pre…
Multi-task learning (MTL) is essential for real-world applications that handle multiple tasks simultaneously, such as selfdriving cars. MTL methods improve the performance of all tasks by utilizing information across tasks to learn a robust shared representation. However, acquiring sufficient labele…
Generative models are being increasingly used in science and industry applications. Unfortunately, they often perpetuate the biases present in their training sets, such as societal biases causing certain groups to be underrepresented in the data. For instance, image generators may overwhelmingly pr…
Multi-label classification (MLC), which assigns multiple labels to each instance, is crucial to domains from computer vision to text mining. Conventional methods for MLC require huge amounts of labeled data to capture complex dependencies between labels. However, such labeled datasets are expensive,…
Positive-Unlabeled (PU) learning methods train a classifier to distinguish between the positive and negative classes given only positive and unlabeled data. While traditional PU methods require the labeled positive samples to be an unbiased sample of the positive distribution, in practice the labele…
Exact multi-label classification is the task of assigning each datapoint a set of class labels such that the assigned set exactly matches the ground truth. Optimizing for exact multi-label classification is important in domains where missing a single label can be especially costly, such as in object…
