ROBUST ESTIMATION VIA GENERATIVE ADVERSARIAL NETWORKS

no code implementations ICLR 2019 Chao GAO, jiyi LIU, Yuan YAO, Weizhi Zhu

In particular, we show that a JS-GAN that uses a neural network discriminator with at least one hidden layer is able to achieve the minimax rate of robust mean estimation under Huber's $\epsilon$-contamination model.

ON BREIMAN’S DILEMMA IN NEURAL NETWORKS: SUCCESS AND FAILURE OF NORMALIZED MARGINS

no code implementations ICLR 2019 Yifei HUANG, Yuan YAO, Weizhi Zhu

A belief persists long in machine learning that enlargement of margins over training data accounts for the resistance of models to overfitting by increasing the robustness.

Generative Adversarial Nets for Robust Scatter Estimation: A Proper Scoring Rule Perspective

1 code implementation5 Mar 2019 Chao Gao, Yuan YAO, Weizhi Zhu

Robust scatter estimation is a fundamental task in statistics.

Rethinking Breiman's Dilemma in Neural Networks: Phase Transitions of Margin Dynamics

1 code implementation8 Oct 2018 Weizhi Zhu, Yifei HUANG, Yuan YAO

In this paper, we revisit Breiman's dilemma in deep neural networks with recently proposed spectrally normalized margins, from a novel perspective based on phase transitions of normalized margin distributions in training dynamics.

Robust Estimation and Generative Adversarial Nets

2 code implementations4 Oct 2018 Chao Gao, jiyi LIU, Yuan YAO, Weizhi Zhu

Similar to the derivation of $f$-GANs, we show that these depth functions that lead to statistically optimal robust estimators can all be viewed as variational lower bounds of the total variation distance in the framework of $f$-Learning.
