Vision-language models (VLMs) with dynamic resolution vision encoders achieve strong performance, but face significant efficiency challenges due to long input sequences. A common approach is to assess the importance of tokens and prune those that are less informative. Recent methods utilizing a smal
Concept shift is a prevailing problem in natural tasks like medical image segmentation where samples usually come from different subpopulations with variant correlations between features and labels. One common type of concept shift in medical image segmentation is the "information imbalance" between…
We propose a computationally-friendly adaptive learning rate schedule, ``AdaLoss", which directly uses the information of the loss function to adjust the stepsize in gradient descent methods. We prove that this schedule enjoys linear convergence in linear regression. Moreover, we extend the to the n…
We prove that the norm version of the adaptive stochastic gradient method (AdaGrad-Norm) achieves a linear convergence rate for a subset of either strongly convex functions or non-convex functions that satisfy the Polyak Lojasiewicz (PL) inequality. The paper introduces the notion of Restricted Unif…
