Recent years have witnessed the emergence of a spectrum of foundation models, covering a broad range of capabilities and costs. Often, we effectively use foundation models as feature generators and train classifiers that use the outputs of these models to make decisions. In this paper, we consider a…
A significant challenge in maintaining real-world machine learning models is responding to the continuous and unpredictable evolution of data. Most practitioners are faced with the difficult question: when should I retrain or update my machine learning model? This seemingly straightforward problem i…
As we expect to see a rapid integration of generative models in our day to day lives, the development of rigorous methods of evaluation and analysis for generative models has never been more pressing. Multiple works have highlighted the shortcomings of widely used metrics and exposed how they fail t…
Neural Temporal Point Processes (TPPs) have emerged as the primary framework for predicting sequences of events that occur at irregular time intervals, but their sequential nature can hamper performance for long-horizon forecasts. To address this, we introduce a novel approach that incorporates a di…
Large pretrained models, coupled with fine-tuning, are slowly becoming established as the dominant architecture in machine learning. Even though these models offer impressive performance, their practical application is often limited by the prohibitive amount of resources required for $\textit{every}…
Learning a categorical distribution comes with its own set of challenges. A successful approach taken by state-of-the-art works is to cast the problem in a continuous domain to take advantage of the impressive performance of the generative models for continuous data. Amongst them are the recently em…
The machine learning community has mainly relied on real data to benchmark algorithms as it provides compelling evidence of model applicability. Evaluation on synthetic datasets can be a powerful tool to provide a better understanding of a model’s strengths, weaknesses and overall capabilities. Gain…
Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) is a weakly supervised learning problem where the aim is to assign labels to sets or bags of instances, as opposed to traditional supervised learning where each instance is assumed to be independent and identically distributed (IID) and is to be labeled individually.…
Graph neural network (GNN) models achieve superior performance when classifying nodes in graph-structured data. Given that state-of-the-art GNNs share many similarities with their CNN cousins and that CNNs suffer adversarial vulnerabilities, there has also been interest in exploring analogous vulner…
Node classification in attributed graphs is an important task in multiple practical settings, but it can often be difficult or expensive to obtain labels. Active learning can improve the achieved classification performance for a given budget on the number of queried labels. The best existing methods…
Graphs are ubiquitous in modelling relationalstructures. Recent endeavours in machine learningfor graph structured data have led to manyarchitectures and learning algorithms. However,the graph used by these algorithms is oftenconstructed based on inaccurate modellingassumptions and/or noisy data. As…
