Deep Semi-Random Features for Nonlinear Function Approximation

1 code implementation28 Feb 2017 Kenji Kawaguchi, Bo Xie, Vikas Verma, Le Song

For deep models, with no unrealistic assumptions, we prove universal approximation ability, a lower bound on approximation error, a partial optimization guarantee, and a generalization bound.

Residual Connections Encourage Iterative Inference

no code implementations ICLR 2018 Stanisław Jastrzębski, Devansh Arpit, Nicolas Ballas, Vikas Verma, Tong Che, Yoshua Bengio

In general, a Resnet block tends to concentrate representation learning behavior in the first few layers while higher layers perform iterative refinement of features.

Manifold Mixup: Better Representations by Interpolating Hidden States

12 code implementations ICLR 2019 Vikas Verma, Alex Lamb, Christopher Beckham, Amir Najafi, Ioannis Mitliagkas, Aaron Courville, David Lopez-Paz, Yoshua Bengio

Deep neural networks excel at learning the training data, but often provide incorrect and confident predictions when evaluated on slightly different test examples.

Modularity Matters: Learning Invariant Relational Reasoning Tasks

no code implementations18 Jun 2018 Jason Jo, Vikas Verma, Yoshua Bengio

We focus on two supervised visual reasoning tasks whose labels encode a semantic relational rule between two or more objects in an image: the MNIST Parity task and the colorized Pentomino task.

Adversarial Mixup Resynthesizers

1 code implementation ICLR Workshop DeepGenStruct 2019 Christopher Beckham, Sina Honari, Alex Lamb, Vikas Verma, Farnoosh Ghadiri, R Devon Hjelm, Christopher Pal

In this paper, we explore new approaches to combining information encoded within the learned representations of autoencoders.

Manifold Mixup: Learning Better Representations by Interpolating Hidden States

1 code implementation ICLR 2019 Vikas Verma, Alex Lamb, Christopher Beckham, Amir Najafi, Aaron Courville, Ioannis Mitliagkas, Yoshua Bengio

Because the hidden states are learned, this has an important effect of encouraging the hidden states for a class to be concentrated in such a way so that interpolations within the same class or between two different classes do not intersect with the real data points from other classes.

Towards Understanding Generalization in Gradient-Based Meta-Learning

no code implementations16 Jul 2019 Simon Guiroy, Vikas Verma, Christopher Pal

We also show that coherence of meta-test gradients, measured by the average inner product between the task-specific gradient vectors evaluated at meta-train solution, is also correlated with generalization.

InfoGraph: Unsupervised and Semi-supervised Graph-Level Representation Learning via Mutual Information Maximization

5 code implementations ICLR 2020 Fan-Yun Sun, Jordan Hoffmann, Vikas Verma, Jian Tang

There are also some recent methods based on language models (e. g. graph2vec) but they tend to only consider certain substructures (e. g. subtrees) as graph representatives.

Interpolation-based semi-supervised learning for object detection

1 code implementation CVPR 2021 Jisoo Jeong, Vikas Verma, Minsung Hyun, Juho Kannala, Nojun Kwak

Despite the data labeling cost for the object detection tasks being substantially more than that of the classification tasks, semi-supervised learning methods for object detection have not been studied much.
