Going Beyond Linear Mode Connectivity: The Layerwise Linear Feature Connectivity

NeurIPS 2023poster

Recent work has revealed many intriguing empirical phenomena in neural network training, despite the poorly understood and highly complex loss landscapes and training dynamics. One of these phenomena, Linear Mode Connectivity (LMC), has gained considerable attention due to the intriguing observation…

Nonlinear ICA Using Volume-Preserving Transformations

ICLR 2022poster

Nonlinear ICA is a fundamental problem in machine learning, aiming to identify the underlying independent components (sources) from data which is assumed to be a nonlinear function (mixing function) of these sources. Recent works prove that if the sources have some particular structures (e.g. tempor…

Learning High-Precision Bounding Box for Rotated Object Detection via Kullback-Leibler Divergence

NeurIPS 2021poster

Existing rotated object detectors are mostly inherited from the horizontal detection paradigm, as the latter has evolved into a well-developed area. However, these detectors are difficult to perform prominently in high-precision detection due to the limitation of current regression loss design, espe…
