The past decade has witnessed significant advances in time series modeling with deep learning. While achieving state-of-the-art results, the best-performing architectures vary highly across applications and domains. Meanwhile, for natural language processing, the Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) has demonstrate...
TEMPO: PROMPT-BASED GENERATIVE PRE-TRAINED TRANSFORMER FOR TIME SERIES FORECASTING
d250920542
The task of generating code solutions for a given programming problem can benefit from the use of pre-trained language models such as Codex, which can produce multiple diverse samples. However, a major challenge for this task is to select the most appropriate solution from the multiple samples generated by the pretrain...
CODET: CODE GENERATION WITH GENERATED TESTS

Unsupervised semantic segmentation aims to discover and localize semantically meaningful categories within image corpora without any form of annotation. To solve this task, algorithms must produce features for every pixel that are both semantically meaningful and compact enough to form distinct clusters. Unlike previou...
UNSUPERVISED SEMANTIC SEGMENTATION BY DISTILLING FEATURE CORRESPONDENCES

Deployment of machine learning models in real high-risk settings (e.g. healthcare) often depends not only on the model's accuracy but also on its fairness, robustness, and interpretability. Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) are a class of interpretable models with a long history of use in these high-risk domains, but ...
NODE-GAM: NEURAL GENERALIZED ADDITIVE MODEL FOR INTERPRETABLE DEEP LEARNING
d252693361
We propose a new class of deep reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms that model latent representations in hyperbolic space. Sequential decision-making requires reasoning about the possible future consequences of current behavior. Consequently, capturing the relationship between key evolving features for a given task i...
HYPERBOLIC DEEP REINFORCEMENT LEARNING

Noise Contrastive Estimation (NCE) is a popular approach for learning probability density functions parameterized up to a constant of proportionality. The main idea is to use self-supervised learning (SSL): that is, construct a classification problem for distinguishing training data from samples from an easy-to-sample ...
Pitfalls of Gaussians as a noise distribution in NCE

This paper studies the sample-efficiency of learning in Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs), a challenging problem in reinforcement learning that is known to be exponentially hard in the worst-case. Motivated by real-world settings such as loading in game playing, we propose an enhanced feedback mod...
Sample-Efficient Learning of POMDPs with Multiple Observations In Hindsight

When trained on language data, do transformers learn some arbitrary computation that utilizes the full capacity of the architecture or do they learn a simpler, treelike computation, hypothesized to underlie compositional meaning systems like human languages? There is an apparent tension between compositional accounts o...
CHARACTERIZING INTRINSIC COMPOSITIONALITY IN TRANSFORMERS WITH TREE PROJECTIONS
d1706438
We propose a language-agnostic way of automatically generating sets of semantically similar clusters of entities along with sets of "outlier" elements, which may then be used to perform an intrinsic evaluation of word embeddings in the outlier detection task. We used our methodology to create a gold-standard dataset, w...
