The benefits of full data shuffle, now with optimal I/O cost: $k$-wise independence and matrix transposition to the rescue

ICML 2026poster

It is known that RandomShuffle, the without replacement version of Stochastic Gradient Descend (SGD), converges faster than with-replacement SGD. However, RandomShuffle requires to uniformly perform a random permutation of the input sequence, which is known to have an high I/O complexity due to data…

Learning to Segment from Noisy Annotations: A Spatial Correction Approach

ICLR 2023poster

Noisy labels can significantly affect the performance of deep neural networks (DNNs). In medical image segmentation tasks, annotations are error-prone due to the high demand in annotation time and in the annotators' expertise. Existing methods mostly tackle label noise in classification tasks. Their…

A Manifold View of Adversarial Risk

AISTATS 2022poster

The adversarial risk of a machine learning model has been widely studied. Most previous works assume that the data lies in the whole ambient space. We propose to take a new angle and take the manifold assumption into consideration. Assuming data lies in a manifold, we investigate two new types of ad…

Stability of SGD: Tightness analysis and improved bounds

UAI 2022poster

Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) based methods have been widely used for training large-scale machine learning models that also generalize well in practice. Several explanations have been offered for this generalization performance, a prominent one being algorithmic stability Hardt et al [2016]. Ho…

Learning with Feature-Dependent Label Noise: A Progressive Approach

ICLR 2021spotlight

Label noise is frequently observed in real-world large-scale datasets. The noise is introduced due to a variety of reasons; it is heterogeneous and feature-dependent. Most existing approaches to handling noisy labels fall into two categories: they either assume an ideal feature-independent noise, or…

Topological Detection of Trojaned Neural Networks

NeurIPS 2021poster

Deep neural networks are known to have security issues. One particular threat is the Trojan attack. It occurs when the attackers stealthily manipulate the model's behavior through Trojaned training samples, which can later be exploited. Guided by basic neuroscientific principles, we discover subtle…

A Topological Filter for Learning with Label Noise

NeurIPS 2020poster

Noisy labels can impair the performance of deep neural networks. To tackle this problem, in this paper, we propose a new method for filtering label noise. Unlike most existing methods relying on the posterior probability of a noisy classifier, we focus on the much richer spatial behavior of data in…

Error-Bounded Correction of Noisy Labels

ICML 2020poster

To collect large scale annotated data, it is inevitable to introduce label noise, i.e., incorrect class labels. To be robust against label noise, many successful methods rely on the noisy classifiers (i.e., models trained on the noisy training data) to determine whether a label is trustworthy. Howev…
