EMC$^2$: Efficient MCMC Negative Sampling for Contrastive Learning with Global Convergence

no code implementations16 Apr 2024 Chung-Yiu Yau, Hoi-To Wai, Parameswaran Raman, Soumajyoti Sarkar, Mingyi Hong

We follow the global contrastive learning loss as introduced in SogCLR, and propose EMC$^2$ which utilizes an adaptive Metropolis-Hastings subroutine to generate hardness-aware negative samples in an online fashion during the optimization.

An Algorithm For Adversary Aware Decentralized Networked MARL

no code implementations9 May 2023 Soumajyoti Sarkar

Decentralized multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) algorithms have become popular in the literature since it allows heterogeneous agents to have their own reward functions as opposed to canonical multi-agent Markov Decision Process (MDP) settings which assume common reward functions over all agents.

Parameter and Data Efficient Continual Pre-training for Robustness to Dialectal Variance in Arabic

no code implementations8 Nov 2022 Soumajyoti Sarkar, Kaixiang Lin, Sailik Sengupta, Leonard Lausen, Sheng Zha, Saab Mansour

While prior research studies have tried to adapt these multilingual models for dialectal variants of Arabic, it still remains a challenging problem owing to the lack of sufficient monolingual dialectal data and parallel translation data of such dialectal variants.

Bandit based centralized matching in two-sided markets for peer to peer lending

no code implementations6 May 2021 Soumajyoti Sarkar

We study investment designs in two sided platforms using matching markets when the investors or lenders also face restrictions on the investments based on borrower preferences.
