Recent advances in large language model (LLM) have empowered autonomous agents to perform complex tasks that require multi-turn interactions with external tools and environments. However, scaling such agent training is limited by the lack of diverse and reliable environments. In this paper, we propo…
The fast-growing demands in using Large Language Models (LLMs) to tackle complex multi-step data science tasks create a emergent need for accurate benchmarking. There are two major gaps in existing benchmarks: (i) the lack of standardized, process-aware evaluation that captures instruction adherence…
Scaling of deep neural networks, especially Transformers, is pivotal for their surging performance and has further led to the emergence of sophisticated reasoning capabilities in foundation models. Such scaling generally requires training large models from scratch with random initialization, failing…
Over the past few years, there has been growing interest in developing larger and deeper neural networks, including deep generative models like generative adversarial networks (GANs). However, GANs typically come with high computational complexity, leading researchers to explore methods for reducin…
Pruning neural networks before training has received increasing interest due to its potential to reduce training time and memory. One popular method is to prune the connections based on a certain metric, but it is not entirely clear what metric is the best choice. Recent advances in neural tangent…
Model-agnostic meta-learning (MAML) and its variants have become popular approaches for few-shot learning. However, due to the non-convexity of deep neural nets (DNNs) and the bi-level formulation of MAML, the theoretical properties of MAML with DNNs remain largely unknown. In this paper, we first p…
