Optimal Budgeted Rejection Sampling for Generative Models

no code implementations1 Nov 2023 Alexandre Verine, Muni Sreenivas Pydi, Benjamin Negrevergne, Yann Chevaleyre

Rejection sampling methods have recently been proposed to improve the performance of discriminator-based generative models.

Training Normalizing Flows with the Precision-Recall Divergence

no code implementations1 Feb 2023 Alexandre Verine, Benjamin Negrevergne, Muni Sreenivas Pydi, Yann Chevaleyre

Generative models can have distinct mode of failures like mode dropping and low quality samples, which cannot be captured by a single scalar metric.

Robust empirical risk minimization via Newton's method

no code implementations30 Jan 2023 Eirini Ioannou, Muni Sreenivas Pydi, Po-Ling Loh

A new variant of Newton's method for empirical risk minimization is studied, where at each iteration of the optimization algorithm, the gradient and Hessian of the objective function are replaced by robust estimators taken from existing literature on robust mean estimation for multivariate data.

The Many Faces of Adversarial Risk

no code implementations NeurIPS 2021 Muni Sreenivas Pydi, Varun Jog

Adversarial risk quantifies the performance of classifiers on adversarially perturbed data.

Adversarial Risk via Optimal Transport and Optimal Couplings

no code implementations ICML 2020 Muni Sreenivas Pydi, Varun Jog

We show that the optimal adversarial risk for binary classification with 0-1 loss is determined by an optimal transport cost between the probability distributions of the two classes.

Active Learning with Importance Sampling

no code implementations10 Oct 2019 Muni Sreenivas Pydi, Vishnu Suresh Lokhande

We consider an active learning setting where the algorithm has access to a large pool of unlabeled data and a small pool of labeled data.

Graph-Based Ascent Algorithms for Function Maximization

no code implementations13 Feb 2018 Muni Sreenivas Pydi, Varun Jog, Po-Ling Loh

We also provide simulations showing the relative convergence rates of our algorithms in comparison to an unbiased random walk, as a function of the smoothness of the graph function.

On Consistency of Compressive Spectral Clustering

no code implementations12 Feb 2017 Muni Sreenivas Pydi, Ambedkar Dukkipati

Spectral clustering is one of the most popular methods for community detection in graphs.
