Resonance in Weight Space: Covariate Shift Can Drive Divergence of SGD with Momentum

ICLR 2022poster

Most convergence guarantees for stochastic gradient descent with momentum (SGDm) rely on iid sampling. Yet, SGDm is often used outside this regime, in settings with temporally correlated input samples such as continual learning and reinforcement learning. Existing work has shown that SGDm with a de…

Fuzzy Tiling Activations: A Simple Approach to Learning Sparse Representations Online

ICLR 2021poster

Recent work has shown that sparse representations---where only a small percentage of units are active---can significantly reduce interference. Those works, however, relied on relatively complex regularization or meta-learning approaches, that have only been used offline in a pre-training phase. In t…
