Fast Simultaneous Training of Generalized Linear Models (FaSTGLZ)

no code implementations31 Jul 2013 Bryan R. Conroy, Jennifer M. Walz, Brian Cheung, Paul Sajda

We present an efficient algorithm for simultaneously training sparse generalized linear models across many related problems, which may arise from bootstrapping, cross-validation and nonparametric permutation testing.

Adversarial Examples that Fool both Computer Vision and Time-Limited Humans

no code implementations NeurIPS 2018 Gamaleldin F. Elsayed, Shreya Shankar, Brian Cheung, Nicolas Papernot, Alex Kurakin, Ian Goodfellow, Jascha Sohl-Dickstein

Machine learning models are vulnerable to adversarial examples: small changes to images can cause computer vision models to make mistakes such as identifying a school bus as an ostrich.

Meta-Learning Update Rules for Unsupervised Representation Learning

2 code implementations ICLR 2019 Luke Metz, Niru Maheswaranathan, Brian Cheung, Jascha Sohl-Dickstein

Specifically, we target semi-supervised classification performance, and we meta-learn an algorithm -- an unsupervised weight update rule -- that produces representations useful for this task.

We present a method for storing multiple models within a single set of parameters.

Learning Unsupervised Learning Rules

no code implementations ICLR 2019 Luke Metz, Niru Maheswaranathan, Brian Cheung, Jascha Sohl-Dickstein

Here, our desired task (meta-objective) is the performance of the representation on semi-supervised classification, and we meta-learn an algorithm -- an unsupervised weight update rule -- that produces representations that perform well under this meta-objective.

Hope For The Best But Prepare For The Worst: Cautious Adaptation In RL Agents

no code implementations25 Sep 2019 Jesse Zhang, Brian Cheung, Chelsea Finn, Dinesh Jayaraman, Sergey Levine

We study the problem of safe adaptation: given a model trained on a variety of past experiences for some task, can this model learn to perform that task in a new situation while avoiding catastrophic failure?

Cautious Adaptation For Reinforcement Learning in Safety-Critical Settings

1 code implementation ICML 2020 Jesse Zhang, Brian Cheung, Chelsea Finn, Sergey Levine, Dinesh Jayaraman

Reinforcement learning (RL) in real-world safety-critical target settings like urban driving is hazardous, imperiling the RL agent, other agents, and the environment.

The Low-Rank Simplicity Bias in Deep Networks

1 code implementation18 Mar 2021 Minyoung Huh, Hossein Mobahi, Richard Zhang, Brian Cheung, Pulkit Agrawal, Phillip Isola

We show empirically that our claim holds true on finite width linear and non-linear models on practical learning paradigms and show that on natural data, these are often the solutions that generalize well.

Compact and Optimal Deep Learning with Recurrent Parameter Generators

1 code implementation15 Jul 2021 Jiayun Wang, Yubei Chen, Stella X. Yu, Brian Cheung, Yann Lecun

We propose a drastically different approach to compact and optimal deep learning: We decouple the Degrees of freedom (DoF) and the actual number of parameters of a model, optimize a small DoF with predefined random linear constraints for a large model of arbitrary architecture, in one-stage end-to-end learning.
