Although knowledge base data usually contains tree-like or cyclic structure, none of existing approaches can embed these data into a compatible s...

[ "This work aims to provide quantitative answers to the relative importance of concepts of interest via concept activation vectors (CAV). In particular, this framework enables non-machine learning experts to express concepts of interest and test hypotheses using examples (e.g., a set of pictures that illustrate the...

Catastrophic forgetting in neural networks is one of the most well-known problems in continual learning. Previous attempts on addressing the problem focus on preventing important weights from changing. Such methods often require task boundaries to learn effectively and do not support backward transfer learning. In this...

We give a formal procedure for computing preimages of convolutional network outputs using the dual basis defined from the set of hyperplanes associated with the layers of the network. We point out the special symmetry associated with arrangements of hyperplanes of convolutional networks that take the form of regular m...

Meta learning has been making impressive progress for fast model adaptation. However, limited work has been done on learning fast uncertainty adaption for Bayesian modeling. In this paper, we propose to achieve the goal by placing meta learning on the space of probability measures, inducing the concept of meta sampling...
