The cross-entropy scaling law has long served as a key tool for guiding the development of large language models. It shows that cross-entropy loss decreases in a predictable power-law rate as the model size increases. However, recent evidence indicates that this law breaks down at very large scales:…
Weakly supervised learning aims to construct effective predictive models from imperfectly labeled data. The recent trend of weakly supervised learning has focused on how to learn an accurate classifier from completely unlabeled data, given little supervised information such as class priors. In this…
The learning to defer (L2D) framework allows models to defer their decisions to human experts. For L2D, the Bayes optimality is the basic requirement of theoretical guarantees for the design of consistent surrogate loss functions, which requires the minimizer (i.e., learned classifier) by the surrog…
In conventional supervised classification, true labels are required for individual instances. However, it could be prohibitive to collect the true labels for individual instances, due to privacy concerns or unaffordable annotation costs. This motivates the study on classification from aggregate obse…
