Contrastive Tuning: A Little Help to Make Masked Autoencoders Forget

AAAI 2024technical

Masked Image Modeling (MIM) methods, like Masked Autoencoders (MAE), efficiently learn a rich representation of the input. However, for adapting to downstream tasks, they require a sufficient amount of labeled data since their rich features code not only objects but also less relevant image backgrou…

Overcoming Saturation in Density Ratio Estimation by Iterated Regularization

ICML 2024poster

Estimating the ratio of two probability densities from finitely many samples, is a central task in machine learning and statistics. In this work, we show that a large class of kernel methods for density ratio estimation suffers from error saturation, which prevents algorithms from achieving fast err…

CLOOB: Modern Hopfield Networks with InfoLOOB Outperform CLIP

NeurIPS 2022accept

CLIP yielded impressive results on zero-shot transfer learning tasks and is considered as a foundation model like BERT or GPT3. CLIP vision models that have a rich representation are pre-trained using the InfoNCE objective and natural language supervision before they are fine-tuned on particular tas…

Hopfield Networks is All You Need

ICLR 2021poster

We introduce a modern Hopfield network with continuous states and a corresponding update rule. The new Hopfield network can store exponentially (with the dimension of the associative space) many patterns, retrieves the pattern with one update, and has exponentially small retrieval errors. It has thr…
