A Complexity-Based Theory of Compositionality

no code implementations18 Oct 2024 Eric Elmoznino, Thomas Jiralerspong, Yoshua Bengio, Guillaume Lajoie

Here, we propose such a definition, which we call representational compositionality, that accounts for and extends our intuitions about compositionality.

Out-of-Distribution Generalization

In-context learning and Occam's razor

1 code implementation17 Oct 2024 Eric Elmoznino, Tom Marty, Tejas Kasetty, Leo Gagnon, Sarthak Mittal, Mahan Fathi, Dhanya Sridhar, Guillaume Lajoie

While the No Free Lunch Theorem states that we cannot obtain theoretical guarantees for generalization without further assumptions, in practice we observe that simple models which explain the training data generalize best: a principle called Occam's razor.

Data Compression In-Context Learning

Does learning the right latent variables necessarily improve in-context learning?

1 code implementation29 May 2024 Sarthak Mittal, Eric Elmoznino, Leo Gagnon, Sangnie Bhardwaj, Dhanya Sridhar, Guillaume Lajoie

Our study highlights the intrinsic limitations of Transformers in achieving structured ICL solutions that generalize, and shows that while inferring the right latents aids interpretability, it is not sufficient to alleviate this problem.

In-Context Learning

Amortizing intractable inference in large language models

1 code implementation6 Oct 2023 Edward J. Hu, Moksh Jain, Eric Elmoznino, Younesse Kaddar, Guillaume Lajoie, Yoshua Bengio, Nikolay Malkin

Autoregressive large language models (LLMs) compress knowledge from their training data through next-token conditional distributions.

Bayesian Inference Diversity

Discrete, compositional, and symbolic representations through attractor dynamics

1 code implementation3 Oct 2023 Andrew Nam, Eric Elmoznino, Nikolay Malkin, James McClelland, Yoshua Bengio, Guillaume Lajoie

Symbolic systems are powerful frameworks for modeling cognitive processes as they encapsulate the rules and relationships fundamental to many aspects of human reasoning and behavior.

Quantization

Sources of Richness and Ineffability for Phenomenally Conscious States

no code implementations13 Feb 2023 Xu Ji, Eric Elmoznino, George Deane, Axel Constant, Guillaume Dumas, Guillaume Lajoie, Jonathan Simon, Yoshua Bengio

Conscious states (states that there is something it is like to be in) seem both rich or full of detail, and ineffable or hard to fully describe or recall.

Philosophy

Visual representations derived from multiplicative interactions

no code implementations NeurIPS Workshop SVRHM 2020 Eric Elmoznino, Michael Bonner

Biological sensory systems appear to rely on canonical nonlinear computations that can be readily adapted to a broad range of representational objectives.
