Model soups: averaging weights of multiple fine-tuned models improves accuracy without increasing inference time

ICML 2022spotlight

The conventional recipe for maximizing model accuracy is to (1) train multiple models with various hyperparameters and (2) pick the individual model which performs best on a held-out validation set, discarding the remainder. In this paper, we revisit the second step of this procedure in the context…

No One Representation to Rule Them All: Overlapping Features of Training Methods

ICLR 2022poster

Despite being able to capture a range of features of the data, high accuracy models trained with supervision tend to make similar predictions. This seemingly implies that high-performing models share similar biases regardless of training methodology, which would limit ensembling benefits and render…

Photorealistic Text-to-Image Diffusion Models with Deep Language Understanding

NeurIPS 2022accept

We present Imagen, a text-to-image diffusion model with an unprecedented degree of photorealism and a deep level of language understanding. Imagen builds on the power of large transformer language models in understanding text and hinges on the strength of diffusion models in high-fidelity image gene…

Spectral Bias in Practice: The Role of Function Frequency in Generalization

NeurIPS 2022accept

Despite their ability to represent highly expressive functions, deep learning models seem to find simple solutions that generalize surprisingly well. Spectral bias -- the tendency of neural networks to prioritize learning low frequency functions -- is one possible explanation for this phenomenon, bu…

When does dough become a bagel? Analyzing the remaining mistakes on ImageNet

NeurIPS 2022accept

Image classification accuracy on the ImageNet dataset has been a barometer for progress in computer vision over the last decade. Several recent papers have questioned the degree to which the benchmark remains useful to the community, yet innovations continue to contribute gains to performance, with…

Tradeoffs in Data Augmentation: An Empirical Study

ICLR 2021poster

Though data augmentation has become a standard component of deep neural network training, the underlying mechanism behind the effectiveness of these techniques remains poorly understood. In practice, augmentation policies are often chosen using heuristics of distribution shift or augmentation divers…
