Do We Really Need Permutations? Impact of Width Expansion on Linear Mode Connectivity

ICLR 2026poster

Recently, Ainsworth et al. empirically demonstrated that, given two independently trained models, applying a parameter permutation that preserves the input–output behavior allows the two models to be connected by a low-loss linear path. When such a path exists, the models are said to achieve linear…

Analysis of Linear Mode Connectivity via Permutation-Based Weight Matching: With Insights into Other Permutation Search Methods

ICLR 2025poster

Recently, Ainsworth et al. (2023) showed that using weight matching (WM) to minimize the $L^2$ distance in a permutation search of model parameters effectively identifies permutations that satisfy linear mode connectivity (LMC), where the loss along a linear path between two independently trained mo…

Linear Mode Connectivity between Multiple Models modulo Permutation Symmetries

ICML 2025poster

Ainsworth et al. empirically demonstrated that linear mode connectivity (LMC) can be achieved between two independently trained neural networks (NNs) by applying an appropriate parameter permutation. LMC is satisfied if a linear path with non-increasing test loss exists between the models, suggestin…

One-vs-the-Rest Loss to Focus on Important Samples in Adversarial Training

ICML 2023poster

This paper proposes a new loss function for adversarial training. Since adversarial training has difficulties, e.g., necessity of high model capacity, focusing on important data points by weighting cross-entropy loss has attracted much attention. However, they are vulnerable to sophisticated attacks…

Reinforcement Learning in Latent Action Sequence Space

IROS 2020poster

One problem in real-world applications of reinforcement learning is the high dimensionality of the action search spaces, which comes from the combination of actions over time. To reduce the dimensionality of action sequence search spaces, macro actions have been studied, which are sequences of primi…
