We introduce a new method for training deep Boltzmann machines jointly. Prior methods of training DBMs require an initial learning pass that trains the model greedily, one layer at a time, or do not perform well on classification tasks. In our approach, we train all layers of the DBM simultaneously, using a novel train...

A Recent work has highlighted several advantages of enforcing orthogonality in the weight layers of deep networks, such as maintaining the stability of activations, preserving gradient norms, and enhancing adversarial robustness by enforcing low Lipschitz constants. Although numerous methods exist for enforcing the ort...

We propose a deep learning framework for modeling complex high-dimensional densities via Nonlinear Independent Component Estimation (NICE). It is based on the idea that a good representation is one in which the data has a distribution that is easy to model. For this purpose, a non-linear deterministic transformation of...

Successful and effective communication between humans and AI relies on a shared experience of the world. By training solely on written text, current language models (LMs) miss the grounded experience of humans in the real-world-their failure to relate language to the physical world causes knowledge to be misrepresented...

The learning rate (LR) schedule is one of the most important hyper-parameters needing careful tuning in training DNNs. However, it is also one of the least automated parts of machine learning systems and usually costs significant manual effort and computing. Though there are pre-defined LR schedules and optimizers with...

Machine learning models with very low test error have been shown to be consistently vulnerable to small, adversarially chosen perturbations of the input. We hypothesize that this counterintuitive behavior is a result of the high-dimensional geometry of the data manifold, and explore this hypothesis on a simple highdime...

There is a recent trend of applying multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) to train an agent that can cooperate with humans in a zero-shot fashion without using any human data. The typical workflow is to first repeatedly run self-play (SP) to build a policy pool and then train the final adaptive policy against thi...

Although deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has many success stories, the largescale deployment of policies learned through these advanced techniques in safetycritical scenarios is hindered by their lack of formal guarantees.

Federated Learning (FL) is a setting for training machine learning models in distributed environments where the clients do not share their raw data but instead send model updates to a server. However, model updates can be subject to attacks and leak private information. Differential Privacy (DP) is a leading mitigation...

Sample inefficiency is a long-lasting problem in reinforcement learning (RL). The state-ofthe-art uses value function to derive policy while it usually requires an extensive search over the state-action space, which is one reason for the inefficiency. Towards the sample-efficient RL, we propose ranking policy gradient ...

Several recent works have discussed tree structured sparse coding[8,10,7,3], where N data points in R d written as the d × N matrix X are approximately decomposed into the product of matrices W Z. Here W is a d×K dictionary matrix, and Z is a K ×N matrix of coefficients. In tree structured sparse coding, the rows of Z ...

We study the Neural Optimal Transport (NOT) algorithm which uses the general optimal transport formulation and learns stochastic transport plans. We show that NOT with the weak quadratic cost may learn fake plans which are not optimal. To resolve this issue, we introduce kernel weak quadratic costs. We show that they p...

We apply recurrent neural networks (RNN) on a new domain, namely recommender systems. Real-life recommender systems often face the problem of having to base recommendations only on short session-based data (e.g. a small sportsware website) instead of long user histories (as in the case of Netflix). In this situation th...
