Variance-Reduced Gradient Estimation via Noise-Reuse in Online Evolution Strategies

NeurIPS 2023poster

Unrolled computation graphs are prevalent throughout machine learning but present challenges to automatic differentiation (AD) gradient estimation methods when their loss functions exhibit extreme local sensitivtiy, discontinuity, or blackbox characteristics. In such scenarios, online evolution stra…

Label Leakage and Protection in Two-party Split Learning

ICLR 2022poster

Two-party split learning is a popular technique for learning a model across feature-partitioned data. In this work, we explore whether it is possible for one party to steal the private label information from the other party during split training, and whether there are methods that can protect agains…

Two Sides of Meta-Learning Evaluation: In vs. Out of Distribution

NeurIPS 2021poster

We categorize meta-learning evaluation into two settings: $\textit{in-distribution}$ [ID], in which the train and test tasks are sampled $\textit{iid}$ from the same underlying task distribution, and $\textit{out-of-distribution}$ [OOD], in which they are not. While most meta-learning theory and som…

This Looks Like That: Deep Learning for Interpretable Image Recognition

NeurIPS 2019spotlight

When we are faced with challenging image classification tasks, we often explain our reasoning by dissecting the image, and pointing out prototypical aspects of one class or another. The mounting evidence for each of the classes helps us make our final decision. In this work, we introduce a deep netw…
