Discovering faster matrix multiplication algorithms with reinforcement learning

2 code implementations Nature 2022 Alhussein Fawzi, Matej Balog, Aja Huang, Thomas Hubert, Bernardino Romera-Paredes, Mohammadamin Barekatain, Alexander Novikov, Francisco J. R. Ruiz, Julian Schrittwieser, Grzegorz Swirszcz, David Silver, Demis Hassabis, Pushmeet Kohli

Particularly relevant is the case of 4 × 4 matrices in a finite field, where AlphaTensor’s algorithm improves on Strassen’s two-level algorithm for the first time, to our knowledge, since its discovery 50 years ago2.

VarGrad: A Low-Variance Gradient Estimator for Variational Inference

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2020 Lorenz Richter, Ayman Boustati, Nikolas Nüsken, Francisco J. R. Ruiz, Ömer Deniz Akyildiz

We analyse the properties of an unbiased gradient estimator of the ELBO for variational inference, based on the score function method with leave-one-out control variates.

Unbiased Gradient Estimation for Variational Auto-Encoders using Coupled Markov Chains

no code implementations5 Oct 2020 Francisco J. R. Ruiz, Michalis K. Titsias, Taylan Cemgil, Arnaud Doucet

The variational auto-encoder (VAE) is a deep latent variable model that has two neural networks in an autoencoder-like architecture; one of them parameterizes the model's likelihood.

Information Theoretic Meta Learning with Gaussian Processes

no code implementations7 Sep 2020 Michalis K. Titsias, Francisco J. R. Ruiz, Sotirios Nikoloutsopoulos, Alexandre Galashov

We formulate meta learning using information theoretic concepts; namely, mutual information and the information bottleneck.

Topic Modeling in Embedding Spaces

11 code implementations TACL 2020 Adji B. Dieng, Francisco J. R. Ruiz, David M. Blei

To this end, we develop the Embedded Topic Model (ETM), a generative model of documents that marries traditional topic models with word embeddings.

A Contrastive Divergence for Combining Variational Inference and MCMC

2 code implementations10 May 2019 Francisco J. R. Ruiz, Michalis K. Titsias

We develop a method to combine Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and variational inference (VI), leveraging the advantages of both inference approaches.

Poisson Multi-Bernoulli Mapping Using Gibbs Sampling

no code implementations7 Nov 2018 Maryam Fatemi, Karl Granström, Lennart Svensson, Francisco J. R. Ruiz, Lars Hammarstrand

The proposed method can handle uncertainties in the data associations and the cardinality of the set of landmarks, and is parallelizable, making it suitable for large-scale problems.

Infinite Factorial Finite State Machine for Blind Multiuser Channel Estimation

no code implementations18 Oct 2018 Francisco J. R. Ruiz, Isabel Valera, Lennart Svensson, Fernando Perez-Cruz

New communication standards need to deal with machine-to-machine communications, in which users may start or stop transmitting at any time in an asynchronous manner.

Unbiased Implicit Variational Inference

1 code implementation6 Aug 2018 Michalis K. Titsias, Francisco J. R. Ruiz

We develop unbiased implicit variational inference (UIVI), a method that expands the applicability of variational inference by defining an expressive variational family.

Reparameterization Gradients through Acceptance-Rejection Sampling Algorithms

2 code implementations18 Oct 2016 Christian A. Naesseth, Francisco J. R. Ruiz, Scott W. Linderman, David M. Blei

Variational inference using the reparameterization trick has enabled large-scale approximate Bayesian inference in complex probabilistic models, leveraging stochastic optimization to sidestep intractable expectations.

The Generalized Reparameterization Gradient

no code implementations NeurIPS 2016 Francisco J. R. Ruiz, Michalis K. Titsias, David M. Blei

The reparameterization gradient has become a widely used method to obtain Monte Carlo gradients to optimize the variational objective.

Exponential Family Embeddings

no code implementations NeurIPS 2016 Maja R. Rudolph, Francisco J. R. Ruiz, Stephan Mandt, David M. Blei

In this paper, we develop exponential family embeddings, a class of methods that extends the idea of word embeddings to other types of high-dimensional data.

Overdispersed Black-Box Variational Inference

no code implementations3 Mar 2016 Francisco J. R. Ruiz, Michalis K. Titsias, David M. Blei

Instead of taking samples from the variational distribution, we use importance sampling to take samples from an overdispersed distribution in the same exponential family as the variational approximation.

Bayesian nonparametric comorbidity analysis of psychiatric disorders

no code implementations29 Jan 2014 Francisco J. R. Ruiz, Isabel Valera, Carlos Blanco, Fernando Perez-Cruz

To this end, we use the large amount of information collected in the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC) database and propose to model these data using a nonparametric latent model based on the Indian Buffet Process (IBP).
