This is essentially a slightly better training scheme than the method proposed by Mikolov et al. 2010.\n* The fair comparison against Mikolov et al. 2010 is only shown in Table 1, where a perplexity of 78.6 turns to a perplexity of 73.5. This is a decent gain, but the great majority of this is achieved by switching the optimizer from SGD to an adaptive method, which as of 2018 is a somewhat limited contribution. The remainder of the tables in the paper do not compare with the method of Mikolov et al.\n* The paper title, abstract, and introduction do not mention previous work, and may give the false impression that this is the first paper to propose dynamic evaluation for neural sequence models, significantly overclaiming the paper's contribution and potentially misleading readers.\n\nAs a result, while I think that dynamic evaluation itself is useful, given the limited novelty of the proposed method and the lack of comparison to the real baseline (the simpler strategy of Mikolov et al.) in the majority of the experiments, I think this papers till falls short of the quality bar of ICLR.\n\nAlso, independent of this decision, a final note about perplexity as an evaluation measure to elaborate on the comments of reviewer 1. In general, perplexity is an evaluation measure that is useful for comparing language models of the same model class, but tends to not correlate well with model performance (e.g. ASR accuracy) across very different types of models. For example, see \"Evaluation Metrics for Language Models\" by Chen et al. 1998. The method of dynamic evaluation is similar to the cache-based language models that existed in 1998 in that it reinforces the model to choose similar vocabulary to that it's seen before.

In the opinion of the AC reviewers did were too quick to accept the authors novelty claims, and did not push them enough to include other baselines in their tables that were not overly deep model. In particular the AC felt that important numbers were left out of the experiment tables, for document classification that muddied the results. The response of the authors was:\n\n\"Moreover, fasttext and our SWEM variants all belong to the category of simpler methods (with parameter-free compositional functions). Since our motivation is to explore the necessity of employing complicated compositional functions for various NLP tasks, we do not think it is necessary for us to make any comparisons between fasttext and SWEM.\"\n\nIn addition when a reviewer pointed out the lack of inclusion of FOFE embeddings, the authors noted something similar\n\n\"Besides, we totally agree that developing sentence embeddings that are both simple and efficient is a very promising research direction (FOFE is a great work along this line).\"\n\nThe reviewer correctly pointed out related work that shows a model very similar to what the author's propose.

The motivation for this method is unclear: the proposed attack does not outperform simpler attack methods such as Carlini-Wagner attack. In white-box settings, a clear downside for the attacker is that it needs to re-train its GAN everytime the defender changes its convolutional network.\n\nMore importantly, the work appears preliminary. In particular, the lack of extensive quantitative experiments on ImageNet makes it difficult to compare the proposed approach to alternative attacks methods such as (I-)FGSM, DeepFool, and Carlini-Wagner. The fact that AdvGAN performs well on MNIST is nice, but MNIST should be considered for what it is: a toy dataset. If AdvGANs are, as the authors state in their rebuttal, fast and good at generating high-resolution images, then it should be straightforward to perform comprehensive experiments with AdvGANs on ImageNet (rather than focusing on a small number of images on a single target, as the authors did in their revision)?"}, "nonreaders": [], "details": {"tags": [], "replyCount": 0, "invitation": {"id": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Acceptance_Decision", "rdate": null, "ddate": null, "expdate": 1541175629000, "duedate": null, "tmdate": 1541177635767, "tddate": null, "super": null, "final": null, "reply": {"forum": null, "replyto": null, "invitation": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Blind_Submission", "writers": {"values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "signatures": {"description": "How your identity will be displayed with the above content.", "values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "readers": {"description": "The users who will be allowed to read the above content.", "value-dropdown": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs", "everyone"]}, "content": {"title": {"required": true, "order": 1, "value": "ICLR 2018 Conference Acceptance Decision"}, "comment": {"required": false, "order": 3, "description": "(optional) Comment on this decision.", "value-regex": "[\\S\\s]{0,5000}"}, "decision": {"required": true, "order": 2, "value-dropdown": ["Accept (Oral)", "Accept (Poster)", "Reject", "Invite to Workshop Track"]}}}, "signatures": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "readers": ["everyone"], "nonreaders": [], "invitees": [], "noninvitees": [], "writers": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "multiReply": null, "taskCompletionCount": null, "transform": null, "cdate": 1541177635767, "type": "note"}}}

My take on the pros/cons is:\n\n1. The research topic, how and why humans can massively outperform DQN, is unanimously viewed as highly interesting by all participants.\n\n2. The authors present an original human subject study, aiming to reveal whether human outperformance is due to human knowledge priors.  The study is well conceived and well executed.  I consider the study to be a contribution by itself.\n\n3. The study provides prima facie evidence that human priors play a role in human performance, by changing the visual display so that the priors cannot be used.\n\n4. However, the study is not definitive, as astutely argued by AnonReviewer2.  Experiments using RL agents (with presumably no human priors) yield behavior that is similar to human behavior.  So it is possible that some factor other than human prior may account for the behavior seen in the human experiments.\n\n5. It would indeed be better, as argued by AnonReviewer2, to use some information-theoretic measure to distinguish the normal game from the modified games.\n\n6. The paper has been substantially improved and cleaned up from the original version.\n\n7. AnonReviewer1 provided some thoughtful detailed discussion of how the authors may be overstating the conclusions that one can draw from the paper.\n\nBottom line: Given the procs and cons of the paper, the committee recommends this for workshop.\n", "decision": "Invite to Workshop Track"}, "nonreaders": [], "details": {"tags": [], "replyCount": 0, "invitation": {"id": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Acceptance_Decision", "rdate": null, "ddate": null, "expdate": 1541175629000, "duedate": null, "tmdate": 1541177635767, "tddate": null, "super": null, "final": null, "reply": {"forum": null, "replyto": null, "invitation": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Blind_Submission", "writers": {"values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "signatures": {"description": "How your identity will be displayed with the above content.", "values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "readers": {"description": "The users who will be allowed to read the above content.", "value-dropdown": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs", "everyone"]}, "content": {"title": {"required": true, "order": 1, "value": "ICLR 2018 Conference Acceptance Decision"}, "comment": {"required": false, "order": 3, "description": "(optional) Comment on this decision.", "value-regex": "[\\S\\s]{0,5000}"}, "decision": {"required": true, "order": 2, "value-dropdown": ["Accept (Oral)", "Accept (Poster)", "Reject", "Invite to Workshop Track"]}}}, "signatures": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "readers": ["everyone"], "nonreaders": [], "invitees": [], "noninvitees": [], "writers": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "multiReply": null, "taskCompletionCount": null, "transform": null, "cdate": 1541177635767, "type": "note"}}}

Reviews generally seemed to be very impressed by the dataset portion of the work saying \"the creation of a large scale semantic parsing dataset is fantastic,\" but were less compelled by the modeling aspects that were introduced and by the empirical justification for the work.  In particular:\n\n- Several reviewers pointed out that the use of RL in particularly this style felt like it was \"unjustified\", and that the authors should have used simpler baselines as a way of assessing the performance of the system, e.g. \"There are far simpler solutions that would achieve the same result, such as optimizing the marginal likelihood or even simply including all orderings as training examples\"\n\n- The reviewers were not completely convinced that the authors' backed up their claims about the role of this dataset as a novel contribution. In particular there were questions about its structure, e.g. \"dataset only covers simple queries in form of aggregate-where-select structure\" and about comparisons with other smaller but similar datasets, e.g.  \"how well does the proposed model work when evaluated on an existing dataset containing full SQL queries, such as ATIS\"\n\nThere was an additional anonymous discussion about the work not citing previous semantic parsing datasets. The authors noted that this discussion inappropriately brought in previous private reviews. However it seems like the main reviewers issues were orthogonal to this point, and so it was not a major aspect of this decision.

The broad problem that is being tackled is clearly of great importance.\n\nThis paper also attracted the attention of outside experts, who were more skeptical of the claims made by the paper. The technical merits do not seem to be in question, but rather, their interpretation/application. The perception by a community as to whether an important problem has been essentially solved can affect the choices made by other reviewers when they decide what work to pursue themselves, evaluate grants, etc. It's important that claims be conservative and highlight the ways in which the present work does not fully address the broader problem of adversarial examples.\n\nUltimately, it has been decided that the paper will be of great interest to the community. The authors have also been entrusted with the responsibility to consider the issues raised by the outside expert (and then echoed by the AC) in their final revisions.\n\nOne final note: In their responses to the outside expert, the authors several times remark that the guarantees made in the paper are, in form, no different from standard learning-theoretic claims: \"This criticism, however, applies to many learning-theoretic results (including those applied in deep learning).\" I don't find any comfort in this statement. Learning theorists have often focused on the form of the bounds (sqrt(m) dependence and, say, independence from the # of weights) and then they resort to empirical observations of correlation to demonstrate that the value of the bound is predictive for generalization. because the bounds are often meaningless (\"vacuous\") when evaluated on real data sets. (There are some recent examples bucking this trend.) In a sense, learning theorists have gotten off easy. Adversarial examples, however, concern security, and so there is more at stake. The slack we might afford learning theorists is not appropriate in this new context. I would encourage the authors to clearly explain any remaining work that needs to be done to move from \"good enough for learning theory\" to \"good enough for security\". The authors promise to outline important future work / open problems for the community. I definitely encourage this.\n\n\n\n\n", "decision": "Accept (Oral)"}, "nonreaders": [], "details": {"tags": [], "replyCount": 0, "invitation": {"id": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Acceptance_Decision", "rdate": null, "ddate": null, "expdate": 1541175629000, "duedate": null, "tmdate": 1541177635767, "tddate": null, "super": null, "final": null, "reply": {"forum": null, "replyto": null, "invitation": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Blind_Submission", "writers": {"values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "signatures": {"description": "How your identity will be displayed with the above content.", "values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "readers": {"description": "The users who will be allowed to read the above content.", "value-dropdown": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs", "everyone"]}, "content": {"title": {"required": true, "order": 1, "value": "ICLR 2018 Conference Acceptance Decision"}, "comment": {"required": false, "order": 3, "description": "(optional) Comment on this decision.", "value-regex": "[\\S\\s]{0,5000}"}, "decision": {"required": true, "order": 2, "value-dropdown": ["Accept (Oral)", "Accept (Poster)", "Reject", "Invite to Workshop Track"]}}}, "signatures": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "readers": ["everyone"], "nonreaders": [], "invitees": [], "noninvitees": [], "writers": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "multiReply": null, "taskCompletionCount": null, "transform": null, "cdate": 1541177635767, "type": "note"}}}

This regularizer has been used quite a bit for shallow models (e.g. SVMs as the authors mention, but also e.g. more general MaxEnt models).

The theoretical rate is worse than that of SG but this could be an artefact of the analysis. Sadly, the experimental setup lacks in several ways:\n- It is not yet clear whether escaping the saddle points is really an issue in deep learning as the loss function is still poorly understood.\n- This analysis is done in the noiseless setting despite your argument being based around the variance of the gradients.\n- You report the test error on CIFAR-10. While interesting and required for an ML paper, you introduce an optimization algorithm and so the quantity that matters the most is the speed at which you achieve a given training accuracy. Also, your table lists the value of the test accuracy rather than the speed of increase.

ACL 2017.\n\nand that it is common in sequence-to-sequence models to use sub-word units, which allows for better handling of morphological phenomena:\n* \"Neural Machine Translation of Rare Words with Subword Units\" Sennrich et al.

The reviewers appear to be in agreement that Value Propagation provides an interesting algorithmic advance over earlier work on Value Iteration networks.

Their experiments also show very nice results with VProp and MVProp in 2-D grid-worlds.\n\nHowever, I also fully agree with AnonReviewer2 that testing in other domains beyond 2-D grid-world is necessary.  Earlier work on VIN was also tested on a Mars Rover / continuous control domain, as well as graph-based web navigation task.  The authors' rebuttal on this point comes across as weak.  In their view, they can't tackle real-world domains until VProp has been proven effective in large, complex grid-worlds.  I don't buy this at all -- they could start initial experiments right away, which would perhaps yield some surprising results. Given this analysis, the committee recomments this paper for workshop.\n\nPros: significant algorithmic advance, good technical quality and writeup, nice results in 2-D grid world.\n\nCon: Validation is only in 2-D grid-world domains.

They also pointed out that the paper lacked comparisons to newer flavors of GANs. While R1 pointed out that the use of 128x128 and 64x64 images was weak, I tend to disagree as this is still common for many GAN papers. R2 was neutral to positive about the paper and thought that most importantly, the training procedure was novel. R3 also gave a neutral to positive review, claiming the paper was easy to follow and interesting. Like R1, R3 thought that a stronger claim could be made by using different datasets. In the rebuttal, the authors argued that the main point was not in proposing a state-of-the-art generative model of images but to provide more an introspection on the success of GANs. Overall, I found the work interesting but felt that the paper could go through one more review/revision cycle. In particular, it was very long.

This is an important contribution as this means that we can obtain samples with desired properties that may not be present in the training set; useful in applications such as ones involving fairness and also when data collection is expensive and biased. The main component called the causal controller models the label dependencies and drives the standard conditional GAN. As reviewers point out, the causal controller assumes the knowledge of the causal graph which is a limitation as this is not known a priori in many applications.

The relative merit is stated to be that the proposed method can be used when there is no grammar specification, but the model of Parisotto et al. also learns expansion rules from data, so no explicit grammar specification is necessary (as long as a parser exists, which is presumably necessary to perform the syntax checking that is core to the proposed method). It would have been ideal to see an empirical comparison between the two methods, but this is obviously a lot of work. It would be nice to have the method acknowledged more prominently in the description, perhaps in the introduction, however.\n\nIt is nice to see a head-nod to Guu et al.'s work on semantic parsing (as semantic parsing from natural language is also highly relevant). There is obviously a lot of work on generating structured representations from natural lanugage, and the following two might be particularly relevant given their focus on grammar-based formalisms for code synthesis from natural language:\n\n* \"A Syntactic Neural Model for General-purpose Code Generation\" Yin and Neubig ACL 2017.\n* \"Abstract Syntax Networks for Code Generation and Semantic Parsing\" Rabinovich et al.

The authors need to be more clear about their motivation and then close the loop with empirical validation that their approach is solving the motivating problem (i.e. do we learn something about biological plausibility, are spiking networks better than traditional LSTMs at modeling a particular kind of data, or are they more efficiently implemented on hardware?).

On CamVid, both network architectures appear to perform on par.\n\nThe paper motivates the model architecture by the high memory consumption of DenseNets but, frankly, that is a very weak motivation: DenseNets are actually very memory-efficient if implemented correctly (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1707.06990.pdf). The fact that such implementations are not well-supported by TensorFlow/PyTorch is a shortcoming of those deep-learning frameworks, not in DenseNets. (In fact, the memory management features that deep-learning frameworks have implemented to make residual networks memory-efficient (for instance, caching GPU memory allocation in PyTorch) are far more complex than the \"thousand lines of C++\" currently needed to implement a DenseNet correctly.)

It would be good for the authors to consider how to evaluate their claims against \"real\" data, to avoid the accusation that the conclusion is trivial from the task set up.\n\nTherefore, while well written, it is not clear that the paper is ready for the main conference.

R1 was extremely positive on the paper, impressed by its readability and the quality of comparison to previous approaches (noting that results with 2-bit activations and 4-bit weights matched FP baselines). This seems very significant to me. R1 also pointed out that the technique used the same hyperparameters as the original training scheme, improving reproducibility/accessibility. R1 asked about application to MobileNets, and the authors reported some early results showing that the technique also worked with smaller network/architectures designed for low-memory hardware. R2 was less positive on the paper, with the main criticism being that the overall technical contribution of the paper was limited. They also were concerned that the paper seemed to motivate based on reducing memory footprint, but the results were focused on reducing computation. R3 liked the simplicity of the idea and comprehensiveness of the results. Like R2, they thought the paper was limited novelty. In their response to R3, the authors defended the novelty of the paper. I tend to side with the authors that very few papers target quantization at no accuracy loss. Moreover, the paper targets training, which also receives much less attention in the model compression / reduced precision literature. Is the architecture really novel? No. But does the experimental work investigate an important tradeoff?

It certainly would be useful to have a \"plug and play\" framework in which various knowledge sources or skills can be assembled behind a simple interface designed by the ML practioner to solve a given problem or class of problems.\n\n3. Clearly finding ways to increase sample efficiency -- especially in a deep net approach -- is of great importance practically.\n\n4. The writing  is good.\n\nCONS:\n\n1. The comparison to feedforward networks needs to be made fair in order to disentangle the benefit of the architecture from the benefit of pre-training the modules.\n\n2. Using the very limited 2x2 grid was too low a bar for the reviewers.  The authors aim at a  more general, efficient architecture useful for a variety of tasks, and perhaps you didn't want to devote too much time to this particular task, but I think having a slam-dunk example of the power of the approach is really necessary to be convincing.\n\n3.

In terms of raw recommendations, the majority reviewer recommendation is negative, but since concerns raised by R2 seemed subjective (which in principle is not a problem), out of abundance of caution, we solicited additional input. Unfortunately, we received feedback consistent with the concerns raised here:\n\n-- The lack of generality of the behavior found. Even if we ignore the difficult question of why the agent prefers what it does, it's unclear how the conclusions here generalize much farther than the model and environment used; the manuscript does not provide any novel or transferable principals of the form \"this kind of bias in the environment leads to this kind of bias in models with these properties\".\n\n-- We realize even providing that concrete a statement might be hard, but also missing are thorough comparisons to other kinds of models (e.g. non-deep, as asked by R1) to establish that this is a general phenomenon.\n\nUltimately, there is a sense that this is too narrow an analysis, too soon. If there was one architecture for learning embodied agents in 3d environments that was clearly successful and useful, then studying its properties might be interesting (even crucial).  But the dust in this space isn't settled. Our current agents are fairly poor, and so the impact of understanding the biases of a specific model trained in a specific environment seems fairly low.\n\nFinally -- this not taken into consideration in making the decision -- it is not okay to list personal homepage domains (that may reveal author identity to ACs) as conflict domains; those are meant for institutional conflicts/domains.

Currently it is not clear whether that the proposed approach would yield better representations than a VAE with a non-autoregressive decoder or a VAE with an autoregressive decoder trained using the \"free bits\" trick of Kingma et al.

The overarching point of contention seems to be that the theory relates to a particular formulation of RNNs (RAC), causing doubts that the results lift to other architectural variants which are used to obtain state-of-the-art results on tasks such as language modelling. It seems that the paper could be significantly improved by the provision of stronger empirical results to support the theory, or a more convincing argument as to why the results should transfer from, say, RAC to LSTMs. The authors point to two papers on the matter in their response, but it is not clear this is a substitute for experimental validation.

R1 was generally positive about the paper, raising the concern on how to choose the number of generators, and also whether parameter sharing was essential. The authors reported back on parameter sharing, showing its benefits yet did not have any principled method of selecting the number of generators. R2 was less positive about the paper, pointing out that mixture GANs and multiple generators have been tried before. They also raised concern with the (flawed) Inception score as the basis for comparison. R2 also pointed out that fixing the mixing proportions to uniform was an unrealistic assumption.

One of the reviewers points out that it can be viewed as an extension of NCA. There is in fact a non-linear version of NCA that was subsequently published, see [1]. In this sense, the approach here appears to be a version of nonlinear NCA with learnable per-example weights, approximate nearest neighbour search, and the allowance of stale exemplars. In this view, there is concern from the reviewers that there may not be sufficient novelty for acceptance.\n\nThe reviewers have concerns with scalability. It would be helpful to include clarification or even some empirical results on how this scales compared to softmax. It is particularly relevant for larger datasets like Imagenet, where it may be impossible to store all exemplars in memory.\n\nIt is also recommended to relate this approach to metric-learning approaches in few-shot learning. Particularly to address the claim that this is the first approach to combine metric learning and classification.\n\n[1]: Learning a Nonlinear Embedding by Preserving Class Neighbourhood Structure.

That said, the AC wonders what is the main contribution of this work relative to existing related works (such as Group Equivarant CNNS, Cohen & Welling'16, or steerable CNNs, Cohen & Welling'17). While it is true that extending GCNNs to hexagonal lattices is a non-trivial implementation task, the contribution lacks significance in the mathematical/learning fronts, which are perhaps the ones ICLR audience will care more about. Besides, the numerical results, while improved versus their square lattice counterparts, are not a major improvement over the state-of-the-art.\n\nIn summary, the AC believes this is a borderline paper.

Overall, the contributions don't feel quite substantial enough for an ICLR publication. The interpretation in terms of signs is interesting, but it's very similar to the motivation for RMSprop, of which Adam is an extension. The performance result on diagonally dominant noisy quadratics is interesting, but it feels unsurprising that a diagonal curvature approximation would work well in this setting.

The main contribution of this work is deriving a bound on the generalization error/risk for a target domain as a combo of re-weighted empirical risk on the source domain and some discrepancy between the re-weighted source domain and the target domain. The authors then use this to formulate an objective function.\n\nThe reviewers generally liked the paper for its theoretical results, but found the empirical evaluation somewhat lacking, as do I. Especially the unsupervised domain adaptation results are very toy-ish in nature (synthetic data), whereas the literature in this field, cited by the authors, does significantly larger scale experiments.

The key concern raised by R2 was that the method did not depart greatly from a standard LSTM: parts of the generated sequences are conditioned on generated data as opposed to ground truth data. However, the reviewer thought the idea was sensible and the results were very good in practice. R1 also agreed that the results were very good and asked for a more detailed analysis of conditioning length and some clarification. R3 brought up similarities to Professor Forcing (Goyal et al. 2016) -- also noted by R2 -- and Learning Human Motion Models for Long-term Predictions (Ghosh et al. 2017) -- noting not peer-reviewed. R3 also raised the open issue of how to best evaluate sequence prediction models like these.

If I were to give advice, I would flip the order of the sections to 4, 3, 2 (first describe the overall method, then describe the method for partial rewards, and finally describe the relationship with SeqGAN)\n* It is strange that the proposed method does not consider subsequences that do not contain y_{t+1}. This seems to go contrary to the idea of using RL or similar methods to optimize the global coherence of the generated sequence.\n* For some of the key elements of the paper, there are similar (widely used) methods that are not cited, and it is a bit difficult  to understand the relationship between them:\n** Partial rewards: this is similar to \"reward shaping\" which is widely used in RL, for example in the actor-critic method of Bahdanau et al.\n** Making modifications of the reference into a modified reference: this is done in, for example, the scheduled sampling method of Bengio et al.\n** Weighting modifications by their reward: A similar idea is presented in \"Reward Augmented Maximum Likelihood for Neural Structured Prediction\" by Norouzi et al.\n\nThe approach in this paper is potentially promising, as it definitely contains a lot of promising insights, but the clarity issues and fact that many of the key insights already exist in other approaches to which no empirical analysis is provided makes the contribution of the paper at the current time feel a bit weak. I am not recommending for acceptance at this time, but would certainly encourage the authors to do clean up the exposition, perhaps add a comparison to other methods such as RL with reward shaping, scheduled sampling, and RAML, and re-submit to another venue."}, "nonreaders": [], "details": {"tags": [], "replyCount": 0, "invitation": {"id": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Acceptance_Decision", "rdate": null, "ddate": null, "expdate": 1541175629000, "duedate": null, "tmdate": 1541177635767, "tddate": null, "super": null, "final": null, "reply": {"forum": null, "replyto": null, "invitation": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Blind_Submission", "writers": {"values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "signatures": {"description": "How your identity will be displayed with the above content.", "values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "readers": {"description": "The users who will be allowed to read the above content.", "value-dropdown": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs", "everyone"]}, "content": {"title": {"required": true, "order": 1, "value": "ICLR 2018 Conference Acceptance Decision"}, "comment": {"required": false, "order": 3, "description": "(optional) Comment on this decision.", "value-regex": "[\\S\\s]{0,5000}"}, "decision": {"required": true, "order": 2, "value-dropdown": ["Accept (Oral)", "Accept (Poster)", "Reject", "Invite to Workshop Track"]}}}, "signatures": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "readers": ["everyone"], "nonreaders": [], "invitees": [], "noninvitees": [], "writers": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "multiReply": null, "taskCompletionCount": null, "transform": null, "cdate": 1541177635767, "type": "note"}}}

It is not clear whether Tishby's group would be able to fix the full-connected ReLU demonstration in this paper, or whether the authors of this submission have anything to say about Tishby's ReLU+convnet demonstration. By accepting this work, we are not declaring where this debate will end.

Given the pros/cons, the committee feels this paper is not ready for acceptance in its current state.\n\n\nPro:\n- This approach to modeling discrete regression problems is interesting and may hold potential, but the evaluation is not in a state where strong meaningful conclusions can be made.\n\nCon:\n- Reviewers raise multiple concerns regarding evaluation and comparison standards for tasks. While authors have added some model comparisons in response, in other areas comparisons don't appear complete. For example, when using MRI data, networks compared all use features derived from images, rather than systems that may learn from images themselves. Authors claim dataset is too small to learn directly from pixels in this data (in comments), but transfer learning and data augmentation have been successfully applied to learn from datasets of this size. In addition, new multitask techniques in the imaging domain have also been presented that dynamically learn the network structure, rather than relying on a hand-crafted neural network design. How this approach would compare is not addressed.\n\n\n"}, "nonreaders": [], "details": {"tags": [], "replyCount": 0, "invitation": {"id": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Acceptance_Decision", "rdate": null, "ddate": null, "expdate": 1541175629000, "duedate": null, "tmdate": 1541177635767, "tddate": null, "super": null, "final": null, "reply": {"forum": null, "replyto": null, "invitation": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Blind_Submission", "writers": {"values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "signatures": {"description": "How your identity will be displayed with the above content.", "values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "readers": {"description": "The users who will be allowed to read the above content.", "value-dropdown": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs", "everyone"]}, "content": {"title": {"required": true, "order": 1, "value": "ICLR 2018 Conference Acceptance Decision"}, "comment": {"required": false, "order": 3, "description": "(optional) Comment on this decision.", "value-regex": "[\\S\\s]{0,5000}"}, "decision": {"required": true, "order": 2, "value-dropdown": ["Accept (Oral)", "Accept (Poster)", "Reject", "Invite to Workshop Track"]}}}, "signatures": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "readers": ["everyone"], "nonreaders": [], "invitees": [], "noninvitees": [], "writers": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "multiReply": null, "taskCompletionCount": null, "transform": null, "cdate": 1541177635767, "type": "note"}}}

The major innovation is to perform a Bayesian linear regression on the last layer of the deep neural network mapping from frames to Q-values.  This Bayesian linear regression allows for efficiently drawing (approximate) samples from the network.  A careful methodology is presented that achieves impressive results on a subset of Atari games.\n\nThe initial reviews all indicated that the results were impressive but questioned the rigor of the empirical analysis and the implementation of the baselines.  The authors have since improved the baselines and demonstrated impressive results across more games but questions over the empirical analysis remain (by AnonReviewer3 for instance) and the results still span only a small subset of the Atari suite.  The reviewers took issue with the treatment of related work, placing the contributions of this paper in relation to previous literature.\n\nIn general, this paper shows tremendous promise, but is just below borderline.  It is very close to a strong and impressive paper, but requires more careful empirical work and a better treatment of related work.  Hopefully the reviews and the discussion process will help make the paper much stronger for a future submission.\n\nPros:\n- Very impressive results on a subset of Atari games\n- A simple and elegant solution to achieving approximate samples from the Q-network\n- The paper is well written and the methodology is clearly explained\n\nCons:\n- Questions remain about the rigor of the empirical analysis (comparison to baselines)\n- Requires more thoughtful comparison in the manuscript to related literature\n- The theoretical justification for the proposed methods is not strong"}, "nonreaders": [], "details": {"tags": [], "replyCount": 0, "invitation": {"id": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Acceptance_Decision", "rdate": null, "ddate": null, "expdate": 1541175629000, "duedate": null, "tmdate": 1541177635767, "tddate": null, "super": null, "final": null, "reply": {"forum": null, "replyto": null, "invitation": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Blind_Submission", "writers": {"values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "signatures": {"description": "How your identity will be displayed with the above content.", "values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "readers": {"description": "The users who will be allowed to read the above content.", "value-dropdown": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs", "everyone"]}, "content": {"title": {"required": true, "order": 1, "value": "ICLR 2018 Conference Acceptance Decision"}, "comment": {"required": false, "order": 3, "description": "(optional) Comment on this decision.", "value-regex": "[\\S\\s]{0,5000}"}, "decision": {"required": true, "order": 2, "value-dropdown": ["Accept (Oral)", "Accept (Poster)", "Reject", "Invite to Workshop Track"]}}}, "signatures": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "readers": ["everyone"], "nonreaders": [], "invitees": [], "noninvitees": [], "writers": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "multiReply": null, "taskCompletionCount": null, "transform": null, "cdate": 1541177635767, "type": "note"}}}

Their technical contribution, SpikeGAN, generates neural spikes that accurately match the statistics of real recorded spiking behavior from a small number of neurons.\n\nThe paper is controversial among the reviewers with a 4, a 6 and an 8.  The 6 is short and finds the idea exciting but questions the utility of the proposed approach in terms of actually studying neural spiking.  The 4 and 8 are both quite thorough reviews.  4 seems to mostly question the motivation of using a GAN over a MaxEnt model and demands empirical comparison to other approaches.  8 applauds the paper as a well-executed pure application paper, applying recent innovations in machine learning to an important application with some technical innovation.  Overall the reviewers found the paper clear and easy to follow and agree that the application of GANs to neural spiking activity is novel.  In general, I find that such high variance in scores (with thorough reviews) indicate that the paper is exciting, innovative and might stir up some interesting discussion.  As such, and under the belief that ICLR is made stronger with interesting application papers, I feel inclined to accept as a poster.\n\nPros:\n- A novel application of GANs to neural spiking data\n- Addresses an important and highly studied application area (computational neuroscience)\n- Clearly written and well presented\n- The approach appears to model well real neural spiking activity from salamander retina\n\nCons:\n- Known pitfalls of GANs aren't really addressed in the paper (mode collapse, etc.)\n- The authors don't compare to state of the art models of neural spiking activity (although they compare to an accepted standard approach - MaxEnt)\n- Limited technical innovation over existing methods for GANs", "decision": "Accept (Poster)"}, "nonreaders": [], "details": {"tags": [], "replyCount": 0, "invitation": {"id": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Acceptance_Decision", "rdate": null, "ddate": null, "expdate": 1541175629000, "duedate": null, "tmdate": 1541177635767, "tddate": null, "super": null, "final": null, "reply": {"forum": null, "replyto": null, "invitation": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Blind_Submission", "writers": {"values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "signatures": {"description": "How your identity will be displayed with the above content.", "values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "readers": {"description": "The users who will be allowed to read the above content.", "value-dropdown": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs", "everyone"]}, "content": {"title": {"required": true, "order": 1, "value": "ICLR 2018 Conference Acceptance Decision"}, "comment": {"required": false, "order": 3, "description": "(optional) Comment on this decision.", "value-regex": "[\\S\\s]{0,5000}"}, "decision": {"required": true, "order": 2, "value-dropdown": ["Accept (Oral)", "Accept (Poster)", "Reject", "Invite to Workshop Track"]}}}, "signatures": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "readers": ["everyone"], "nonreaders": [], "invitees": [], "noninvitees": [], "writers": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "multiReply": null, "taskCompletionCount": null, "transform": null, "cdate": 1541177635767, "type": "note"}}}

Although the output class is maintained before and after the perturbation it is not clear to me or the reviewers why one shouldn't have different explanations. The difference in explanations can be attributed to the fragility of the learned models (highly non-smooth decision boundaries) rather than the explanation methods.

For the most part, the reviewers found the exposition to be fairly clear, and the proposed architecture of good technical quality.  Two of the reviewers point out flaws in implementing in a single domain, 10x10 Sokoban with four boxes and four targets.  Since their training methodology uses supervised training on approximate ground-truth trajectories derived from extensive plain MCTS trials, it seems unlikely that the trained DNN will be able to generalize to other geometries (beyond 10x10x4) that were not seen during training.  Sokoban also has a low branching ratio, so that these experiments do not provide any insight into how the methodology will scale at much higher branching ratios.\n\nPros: Good technical quality, interesting novel idea, exposition is mostly clear.  Good empirical results in one very limited domain.\nCons: Single 10x10x4 Sokoban domain is too limited to derive any general conclusions.\n\nPoint for improvement: The paper compares performance of MCTSnet trials vs. plain MCTS trials based on the number of trials performed.  This is not an appropriate comparison, because the NN trials will be much more heavyweight in terms of CPU time, and there is usually a time limit to cut off MCTS trials and execute an action.  It will be much better to plot performance of MCTSnet and plain MCTS vs. CPU time used."}, "nonreaders": [], "details": {"tags": [], "replyCount": 0, "invitation": {"id": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Acceptance_Decision", "rdate": null, "ddate": null, "expdate": 1541175629000, "duedate": null, "tmdate": 1541177635767, "tddate": null, "super": null, "final": null, "reply": {"forum": null, "replyto": null, "invitation": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Blind_Submission", "writers": {"values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "signatures": {"description": "How your identity will be displayed with the above content.", "values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "readers": {"description": "The users who will be allowed to read the above content.", "value-dropdown": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs", "everyone"]}, "content": {"title": {"required": true, "order": 1, "value": "ICLR 2018 Conference Acceptance Decision"}, "comment": {"required": false, "order": 3, "description": "(optional) Comment on this decision.", "value-regex": "[\\S\\s]{0,5000}"}, "decision": {"required": true, "order": 2, "value-dropdown": ["Accept (Oral)", "Accept (Poster)", "Reject", "Invite to Workshop Track"]}}}, "signatures": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "readers": ["everyone"], "nonreaders": [], "invitees": [], "noninvitees": [], "writers": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "multiReply": null, "taskCompletionCount": null, "transform": null, "cdate": 1541177635767, "type": "note"}}}

In general R4 makes some good suggestions for improving the paper.\n\nThe author's rebuttal also makes the general point that the paper should be accepted as it contains ideas, that these are sufficient alone: \"We strongly believe that with some fine-tuning it could achieve considerably better results, however we also believe that this is not the point in a first submission...\". The AC disagrees with this. Ideas are cheap. *Good ideas*, i.e. those that work, as in get good performance on standard benchmarks are valuable however.

However, I do agree that the paper should have a larger focus on that: basically Section 6 should be expanded, and the experiments should be rerun in such a way that the setup for DUA4C is more \"favorable\" (in terms of hyper-parameter optimization).

This paper includes some careful experiments analyzing this tradeoff for various VAE formulations, and provides some interesting visualizations. However, as the reviewers point out, it's difficult to point to a single clear contribution here, as the coding theory view of variational inference is well established, and the VAE case has been discussed in various other works.

Many networks are currently \"black box\" approaches. By moving to the optimization problem to that of building a feature space for nearest neighbor classification, one can, to a degree, alleviate the \"black box\" issue by providing the discovered nearest neighbor instances as \"evidence\" of the decision.\n- Authors use established datasets.\n\nCons:\n- Authors do not properly cite previous work, as brought up by reviewers. There is much literature on optimization of feature spaces (such as the entire field of metric learning), as well as prior approaches using genetic optimization. The originality and significance here is therefore not clear.

R2 had the most detailed review and thought that the idea and analysis were interesting. They also had difficulty following the discussion of symmetry (noted above).

After some additional rounds of discussion post-rebuttal with the reviewers I think the general consensus is that it's a good paper and almost there but not quite ready for acceptance at this time.

The authors start with the axioms they would like a semantic loss function to obey, then provide a general definition, then show it does obey the axioms.  The general definition is intractable in a naive implementation.  The authors use boolean circuits to tractably solve the problem but this isn't discussed enough and it's unreasonable to expect readers to just give a pass on it without some more background.  I personally would prefer an organization that presented the motivation (in english) for the loss definition; then the  definition with a description of its pieces and why they are there; then a short discussion of how to implement such a loss in practice using boolean circuits (or if this is too much put it in the appendix); and a pointer to the axiomatization in an appendix.\n\n2. related to 1, I didn't see anything which discussed the training time of this approach.

There was some vigorous discussion on the paper centering around the choices that were available to the conv-nets.  The author's strongly emphasized the improvements on the PTB task.\n\nFor my part, I think the method is very compelling -- sharing weights for all the models we are optimizing on seems like a great idea -- and that we can make it work is even more interesting. So from this point of view, I think its a novel contribution and worth accepting.\n\nOn the other hand, I'm likely to agree with some of the motivations behind the questions raised by R3. Are all the choices really necessary ? perhaps the gains came from just a couple of things like number of skip connections and channels, etc. That exploration is useful. On the flip side, I think it may be an irrelevant question -- the model is able to make the correct decisions from a big set.\n\nThe authors emphasize the language modelling part, but for me, this was actually less compelling. The authors use some of the tricks from Merity in their model training (perplexity 52.8), and as a result are already using some techniques that produces better results. Further, PTB is a regularization game -- and that's not really the claim of this paper. Although, one could argue that weight sharing between different models can produce an ensembling / regularization effect and those gains may show up on PTB. A much more compelling story would have been to show that this method works on a large dataset where the impact of the architecture cannot be conflated with controlling overfitting better.\n\nAs a result, this puts the paper on the fence for me; even though I very much like the idea.

But as the reviewers pointed out, it's not clear from the paper whether the attack has succeeded. It works only when the auxiliary data is very similar to the training data, and it's not clear if it leaks information about the training set itself, or is just summarizing the auxiliary data.

The code generator is trained by minimizing the GAN loss b/w the distribution coming out of the decoder and the real image distribution. The paper also modifies the AAE by replacing the L2 loss in pixel domain with \"learned similarity metric\" loss inspired by the earlier work (Larsen et al., 2015).\n\nThe contribution of the paper is specific to AAE which makes the scope narrow. Even there, the benefits of learning the prior using the proposed method are not clear. Experiments make two claims: (i) improved image generation over AAE, (ii) improved \"disentanglement\".\n\nTowards (i), the paper compares images generated by AAE with those generated by their model. However, it is not clear if the improved generation quality is due to the use of decoder loss on the learned similarity metric (Larsen at al, 2015), or due to the use of GAN loss in the image space (ie, just having GAN loss over decoder's output w/o having a code generator), or due to learning the prior which is the main contribution of the paper. This has also been hinted at by AnonReviewer1. Hence, it's not clear if the sharper generated images are really due to the learned prior.\n\nTowards (ii), the paper uses InfoGAN inspired objective to generate class conditional images. It shows the class-conditional generated images for AAE and the proposed method. Here AAE is also trained on \"learned similarity metric\" and augmented with similar InfoGAN type objective so the only difference is in the prior. Authors say the performance of both models is similar on MNIST and SVHN but on CIFAR their model with \"learned prior\" generates images that match the conditioned-upon labels better. However this claim is also subjective/qualitative and even if true, it is not clear if this is due to learned prior or due to the extra GAN discriminator loss in the image-space -- in other words, how do the results look for AAE + a discriminator in the image space, just like in the proposed model but without a code generator?\n\nThe t-SNE plots for the learned prior are also shown but they are only shown when InfoGAN loss is added. The same plots are not shown for AAE with added InfoGAN loss so it is difficult to know the benefits of learning the code-generator as proposed.\n\nOverall, I feel the scope of the paper is narrow and the benefits of learning the prior using the method proposed in the paper are not clearly established by the reported experiments. I am hesitant to recommend acceptance to the main conference in its current form.\n\n"}, "nonreaders": [], "details": {"tags": [], "replyCount": 0, "invitation": {"id": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Acceptance_Decision", "rdate": null, "ddate": null, "expdate": 1541175629000, "duedate": null, "tmdate": 1541177635767, "tddate": null, "super": null, "final": null, "reply": {"forum": null, "replyto": null, "invitation": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Blind_Submission", "writers": {"values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "signatures": {"description": "How your identity will be displayed with the above content.", "values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "readers": {"description": "The users who will be allowed to read the above content.", "value-dropdown": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs", "everyone"]}, "content": {"title": {"required": true, "order": 1, "value": "ICLR 2018 Conference Acceptance Decision"}, "comment": {"required": false, "order": 3, "description": "(optional) Comment on this decision.", "value-regex": "[\\S\\s]{0,5000}"}, "decision": {"required": true, "order": 2, "value-dropdown": ["Accept (Oral)", "Accept (Poster)", "Reject", "Invite to Workshop Track"]}}}, "signatures": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "readers": ["everyone"], "nonreaders": [], "invitees": [], "noninvitees": [], "writers": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "multiReply": null, "taskCompletionCount": null, "transform": null, "cdate": 1541177635767, "type": "note"}}}

The main split was the feeling that \"the paper presents strong quantitative results and qualitative examples. \" versus a frustration that the experimental results did not take into account extractive baselines or analysis. However the authors provide a significantly updated version of the work targeting many of these concerns, which does alleviate some of the main issues.

This also necessitates the model being at least as complicated as all the constituent models, which might be a barrier to practical applicability\n\nAs an auxiliary comment, the title and emphasis on computing embeddings \"on the fly\" is a bit puzzling. This is certainly not the first paper that is able to calculate word embeddings for unknown words (e.g. all the cited work on character-based or dictionary-based methods can do so as well). If the emphasis is calculating word embeddings just-in-time instead of ahead-of-time, then I would also expect an evaluation of the speed or memory requirements benefits of doing so. Perhaps a better title for the paper would be \"integrating multiple information sources in training of word embeddings\", or perhaps a more sexy paraphrase of the same.\n\nOverall, the method seems to be solid, but the paper was pushed out by other submissions.\n"}, "nonreaders": [], "details": {"tags": [], "replyCount": 0, "invitation": {"id": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Acceptance_Decision", "rdate": null, "ddate": null, "expdate": 1541175629000, "duedate": null, "tmdate": 1541177635767, "tddate": null, "super": null, "final": null, "reply": {"forum": null, "replyto": null, "invitation": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Blind_Submission", "writers": {"values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "signatures": {"description": "How your identity will be displayed with the above content.", "values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "readers": {"description": "The users who will be allowed to read the above content.", "value-dropdown": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs", "everyone"]}, "content": {"title": {"required": true, "order": 1, "value": "ICLR 2018 Conference Acceptance Decision"}, "comment": {"required": false, "order": 3, "description": "(optional) Comment on this decision.", "value-regex": "[\\S\\s]{0,5000}"}, "decision": {"required": true, "order": 2, "value-dropdown": ["Accept (Oral)", "Accept (Poster)", "Reject", "Invite to Workshop Track"]}}}, "signatures": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "readers": ["everyone"], "nonreaders": [], "invitees": [], "noninvitees": [], "writers": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "multiReply": null, "taskCompletionCount": null, "transform": null, "cdate": 1541177635767, "type": "note"}}}

The main contributions of the paper -- that multi-agent competition serves as a natural curriculum, opponent sampling strategies, and the characterization of emergent complex strategies -- are certainly of broad interest (although the first is essentially the same observation as AlphaZero, but the different environment makes this of broader interest).\n\nIn the discussion between R2 and the authors, I am sympathetic to (a subset of) both viewpoints.\n\nTo be fair to the authors, discovery (in this case, characterization of emergent behavior) can be often difficult to quantify. R2's initial review was unnecessary harsh and combative. The points presented by R2 as evidence of poor evaluation have clear answers by the authors. It would have been better to provide suggestions for what the authors could try, rather than raise philosophical objections that the authors cannot experimentally rebut.\n\nOn the other hand, I am disappointed that the authors were asked a reasonable, specific, quantifiable request by R2 --\n\"By the end of Section 5.2, you allude to transfer learning phenomena. It would be nice to study these transfer effects in your results with a quantitative methodology.\u201d\n-- and they chose to respond with informal and qualitative assessments. It doesn't matter if the results are obvious visually, why not provide quantitative evaluation when it is specifically asked?\n\nOverall, we recommend this paper for acceptance, and ask the authors to incorporate feedback from R2.

A trend among the reviewers and anonymous comments was that the paper didn't do a good enough job of placing itself in the context of related work (Goyal et. al, \"Z-forcing\") in particular.  The authors seem to have addressed this (curiously in an anonymous link and not in an updated manuscript) but the manuscript itself has not been updated.\n\nIn general, this paper presents an interesting idea with strong empirical results.   The paper itself is not well composed, however, and can be improved upon significantly.  Taking the reviews into account and including a better treatment of related work in writing and empirically will make this a much stronger paper.\n\nPros:\n- Strong empirical performance (log-likelihood on test data)\n- A neat idea\n- Deep generative models are of great interest to the community\n\nCons:\n- Incremental in relation to Goyal et al., 2017\n- Needs better treatment of related work\n- The writing is confusing and the technical exposition is not clear enough"}, "nonreaders": [], "details": {"tags": [], "replyCount": 0, "invitation": {"id": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Acceptance_Decision", "rdate": null, "ddate": null, "expdate": 1541175629000, "duedate": null, "tmdate": 1541177635767, "tddate": null, "super": null, "final": null, "reply": {"forum": null, "replyto": null, "invitation": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Blind_Submission", "writers": {"values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "signatures": {"description": "How your identity will be displayed with the above content.", "values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "readers": {"description": "The users who will be allowed to read the above content.", "value-dropdown": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs", "everyone"]}, "content": {"title": {"required": true, "order": 1, "value": "ICLR 2018 Conference Acceptance Decision"}, "comment": {"required": false, "order": 3, "description": "(optional) Comment on this decision.", "value-regex": "[\\S\\s]{0,5000}"}, "decision": {"required": true, "order": 2, "value-dropdown": ["Accept (Oral)", "Accept (Poster)", "Reject", "Invite to Workshop Track"]}}}, "signatures": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "readers": ["everyone"], "nonreaders": [], "invitees": [], "noninvitees": [], "writers": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "multiReply": null, "taskCompletionCount": null, "transform": null, "cdate": 1541177635767, "type": "note"}}}

The main claim of the paper is that Adam and related optimizers are broken because their \"weight decay\" regularization is not actually weight decay. It proposes to modify Adam to decay all weights the same regardless of the gradient variances.\n\nCalling Adam's weight decay mechanism a mistake seems very far-fetched to me. Neural net optimization researchers are well aware of the connection between weight decay and L2 regularization and the fact that they don't correspond in preconditioned methods. L2 regularization is basically the only justification I have heard for weight decay, and despite rejecting this interpretation, the paper does not provide an alternative justification.\n\nDecoupling the optimization from the cost function is a well-established principle. This abstraction barrier is not completely clean (e.g. gradient noise has well-known regularization effects), and the experiments of this paper perhaps provide evidence that the choices may be coupled in this case. This is an interesting finding, and probably worth following up on. However, the paper seems to sweep the \"decoupling optimization and cost\" issue under the carpet and take for granted that the decay rate is what should be held fixed. All three reviewers found the presentation to be misleading, and I would agree with them. While there may be an interesting contribution here, I cannot endorse the paper as-is.\n"}, "nonreaders": [], "details": {"tags": [], "replyCount": 1, "invitation": {"id": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Acceptance_Decision", "rdate": null, "ddate": null, "expdate": 1541175629000, "duedate": null, "tmdate": 1541177635767, "tddate": null, "super": null, "final": null, "reply": {"forum": null, "replyto": null, "invitation": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Blind_Submission", "writers": {"values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "signatures": {"description": "How your identity will be displayed with the above content.", "values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "readers": {"description": "The users who will be allowed to read the above content.", "value-dropdown": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs", "everyone"]}, "content": {"title": {"required": true, "order": 1, "value": "ICLR 2018 Conference Acceptance Decision"}, "comment": {"required": false, "order": 3, "description": "(optional) Comment on this decision.", "value-regex": "[\\S\\s]{0,5000}"}, "decision": {"required": true, "order": 2, "value-dropdown": ["Accept (Oral)", "Accept (Poster)", "Reject", "Invite to Workshop Track"]}}}, "signatures": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "readers": ["everyone"], "nonreaders": [], "invitees": [], "noninvitees": [], "writers": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "multiReply": null, "taskCompletionCount": null, "transform": null, "cdate": 1541177635767, "type": "note"}}}

Optimizing over complex architectures is a challenging problem that has received significant attention as deep learning models become more exotic and complex.  This work helps to develop a methodology for describing and exploring the complex space of architectures, which is a challenging problem.  The authors demonstrate that their method helps to structure the search over hyperparameters using sequential model based optimization and Monte Carlo tree search.\n\nThe paper is well written and easy to follow.  However, the level of technical innovation is low and the experiments don't really demonstrate the merits of the method over existing strategies.  One reviewer took issue with the treatment of related work.  The underlying idea is compelling and addresses an open question that is of great interest currently.  However, without experiments demonstrating that this works better than, e.g., the specification in the hyperopt package, it is difficult to assess the contribution.  The authors must do a better job of placing this contributing in the context of existing literature and empirically demonstrate its advantages.  The presented experiments show that the method works in a limited setting and don't explore optimization over complex spaces (i.e. over architectures - e.g. number of layers, regularization for each layer, type of each layer, etc.).  There's nothing presented empirically that hasn't been possible with standard Bayesian optimization techniques.\n\nThis is a great start, but it needs more justification empirically (or theoretically).\n\nPros:\n- Addresses an important and pertinent problem - architecture search for deep learning\n- Provides an intuitive and interesting solution to specifying the architecture search problem\n- Well written and clear\n\nCons:\n- The empirical analysis does not demonstrate the advantages of this approach over existing literature\n- Needs to place itself better in the context of existing literature"}, "nonreaders": [], "details": {"tags": [], "replyCount": 0, "invitation": {"id": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Acceptance_Decision", "rdate": null, "ddate": null, "expdate": 1541175629000, "duedate": null, "tmdate": 1541177635767, "tddate": null, "super": null, "final": null, "reply": {"forum": null, "replyto": null, "invitation": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Blind_Submission", "writers": {"values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "signatures": {"description": "How your identity will be displayed with the above content.", "values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "readers": {"description": "The users who will be allowed to read the above content.", "value-dropdown": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs", "everyone"]}, "content": {"title": {"required": true, "order": 1, "value": "ICLR 2018 Conference Acceptance Decision"}, "comment": {"required": false, "order": 3, "description": "(optional) Comment on this decision.", "value-regex": "[\\S\\s]{0,5000}"}, "decision": {"required": true, "order": 2, "value-dropdown": ["Accept (Oral)", "Accept (Poster)", "Reject", "Invite to Workshop Track"]}}}, "signatures": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "readers": ["everyone"], "nonreaders": [], "invitees": [], "noninvitees": [], "writers": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "multiReply": null, "taskCompletionCount": null, "transform": null, "cdate": 1541177635767, "type": "note"}}}

Attention is performed over a subset of past states by a hueristic that boils to selecting best time-steps.\n\nI agree with the authors that they offer a lot of comparisons, but like the reviewers, I am inclined to find the experiments not very convincing of the arguments they are attempting to make.  The model that they propose has similarities to seq2seq in that they use attention to pass more information in the forward pass; in a sense this is a seq2seq model with the same encoder and decoder, and there are parallels to self-attention. The model also has similarities to clockwork RNNs and other skip connection methods.. However, the experiments offered to not tease out these effects. It is unsurprising that a fixed size neural network is unable to do a long copy task perfectly, but an attention model can. What would have been more interesting would have been to explore if other RNN models could have done so. The experiments on pMNIST aren't really compelling as the baselines are far from SOTA (example: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1606.01305.pdf report 0.041 error rate (95.9% test acc) with LSTMs and regularization).  Text8 also shows worse results in full BPTT on LSTM.  If BPTT is consistently better than this method, it defeats the argument that gradient explosion and forgetting over long sequences is a problem for RNNs (one of the motivations offered for this attention model).\n"}, "nonreaders": [], "details": {"tags": [], "replyCount": 0, "invitation": {"id": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Acceptance_Decision", "rdate": null, "ddate": null, "expdate": 1541175629000, "duedate": null, "tmdate": 1541177635767, "tddate": null, "super": null, "final": null, "reply": {"forum": null, "replyto": null, "invitation": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Blind_Submission", "writers": {"values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "signatures": {"description": "How your identity will be displayed with the above content.", "values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "readers": {"description": "The users who will be allowed to read the above content.", "value-dropdown": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs", "everyone"]}, "content": {"title": {"required": true, "order": 1, "value": "ICLR 2018 Conference Acceptance Decision"}, "comment": {"required": false, "order": 3, "description": "(optional) Comment on this decision.", "value-regex": "[\\S\\s]{0,5000}"}, "decision": {"required": true, "order": 2, "value-dropdown": ["Accept (Oral)", "Accept (Poster)", "Reject", "Invite to Workshop Track"]}}}, "signatures": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "readers": ["everyone"], "nonreaders": [], "invitees": [], "noninvitees": [], "writers": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "multiReply": null, "taskCompletionCount": null, "transform": null, "cdate": 1541177635767, "type": "note"}}}

In both cases, there are some promising leads here. But it feels like two separate papers here, and I'm not sure either individual contribution is well enough supported to merit publication in ICLR.\n\nFor (1), the contribution is novel and potentially useful, to the best of my knowledge. But as there's been a lot of work on trust region solvers and second-order optimization of neural nets more generally, claims about computational efficiency would require comparisons against existing methods. The focus on efficiency also doesn't seem to fit with the experiments section, where the proposed method optimizes less efficiently than SGD and is instead meant to provide a regularization benefit.\n\nFor (2), it's an interesting empirical finding that the method improves generalization, but the explanation for this is very hand-wavy. If second-order optimization in general turned out to help with sharp minima, this would be an interesting finding indeed, but it doesn't seem to be supported by other work in the area. The training curves in Table 1 are interesting, but don't really distinguish the claims of Section 4.5 from other possible hypotheses.\n"}, "nonreaders": [], "details": {"tags": [], "replyCount": 0, "invitation": {"id": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Acceptance_Decision", "rdate": null, "ddate": null, "expdate": 1541175629000, "duedate": null, "tmdate": 1541177635767, "tddate": null, "super": null, "final": null, "reply": {"forum": null, "replyto": null, "invitation": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Blind_Submission", "writers": {"values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "signatures": {"description": "How your identity will be displayed with the above content.", "values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "readers": {"description": "The users who will be allowed to read the above content.", "value-dropdown": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs", "everyone"]}, "content": {"title": {"required": true, "order": 1, "value": "ICLR 2018 Conference Acceptance Decision"}, "comment": {"required": false, "order": 3, "description": "(optional) Comment on this decision.", "value-regex": "[\\S\\s]{0,5000}"}, "decision": {"required": true, "order": 2, "value-dropdown": ["Accept (Oral)", "Accept (Poster)", "Reject", "Invite to Workshop Track"]}}}, "signatures": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "readers": ["everyone"], "nonreaders": [], "invitees": [], "noninvitees": [], "writers": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "multiReply": null, "taskCompletionCount": null, "transform": null, "cdate": 1541177635767, "type": "note"}}}

Along the way learn to determine if an identity holds (e.g. sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1).  They use a TreeNN with a separate node for each expression in the grammar.\n\nPROS:\n1. They've put together a new dataset of equational expressions for learning to complete an equation by filling in the blank of a missing function (or value) and function evaluation.   They've done this in a nice way with a generator and will release it.\n\n2. They've got two interesting ideas here and they seem to work.  First, they train the network to jointly learn to manipulate symbols and to evaluate them.  This helps ground the symbolic manipulations in the validity of their evaluations.  They do this by using a common tree net for both processes with both a symbol node and a number node.  They train on identities (sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1) and also on ground expressions (+(1,2) = 3).  The second idea is to help the system learn the interpretation map for the numerals like the \"2\" in \"cos^2(x) with the actual number 2.  They do this by including equations which relate decimals with their base 10 expansion.  For example 2.5 = 2*10^0 + 5*10^-1.  The \"2.5\" is (I think) treated as a number and handled by the number node in the network.  The RHS leaves are treated as symbols and handled by the symbol node of the network. This lets them learn to represent decimals using just the 10 digits in their grammar and ties the interpretation of the symbols to what is required for a correct evaluation (in terms of their model this means \"aligning\" the node for symbol with the node for number).\n\n3. Results are good over what seem to us reasonable baselines\n\nCONS:\n\n1. The architecture isn't new and the idea of representing expression trees in a hierarchical network isn't new either.\n\n2. The writing, to me, is a bit unclear in places and I think they still have some work to do follow the reviewers' advice in this area.\n\nI really wrestled with this one, and I appreciate the arguments that say it's not novel enough but I feel that there is something interesting in here and if the authors do a clean-up before final submission it will be ok.", "decision": "Accept (Poster)"}, "nonreaders": [], "details": {"tags": [], "replyCount": 0, "invitation": {"id": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Acceptance_Decision", "rdate": null, "ddate": null, "expdate": 1541175629000, "duedate": null, "tmdate": 1541177635767, "tddate": null, "super": null, "final": null, "reply": {"forum": null, "replyto": null, "invitation": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Blind_Submission", "writers": {"values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "signatures": {"description": "How your identity will be displayed with the above content.", "values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "readers": {"description": "The users who will be allowed to read the above content.", "value-dropdown": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs", "everyone"]}, "content": {"title": {"required": true, "order": 1, "value": "ICLR 2018 Conference Acceptance Decision"}, "comment": {"required": false, "order": 3, "description": "(optional) Comment on this decision.", "value-regex": "[\\S\\s]{0,5000}"}, "decision": {"required": true, "order": 2, "value-dropdown": ["Accept (Oral)", "Accept (Poster)", "Reject", "Invite to Workshop Track"]}}}, "signatures": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "readers": ["everyone"], "nonreaders": [], "invitees": [], "noninvitees": [], "writers": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "multiReply": null, "taskCompletionCount": null, "transform": null, "cdate": 1541177635767, "type": "note"}}}

That makes it impressive, but also difficult to unpick the contributions and reproduce even the first demonstration. It's understandable at a meeting on learning representations that the reviewers wanted to understand why existing methods for learning multi-modal distributions would not work, and get a better understanding of the tradeoffs and limitations of the proposed method. The CVAE comparison added to the appendix during the rebuttal period just pushed this paper over the bar.

The model works by training multiple \"teacher\" models -- one per dataset, where a dataset might be for example, one user's data -- and then distilling those models into a student model. The teachers are all trained on disjoint data. Differential privacy is guaranteed by aggregating the teacher responses with added noise.  The paper shows improved teacher consensus by adding more concentrated noise and allowing the teacher to simply not respond to a student query.  The new results beat the old results convincingly on a variety of measures.\n\nQuality and Clarity: The reviewers and I thought the paper was well written.\n\nOriginality: In some sense this work is incremental, extending and improving the existing PATE framework.  However, the extensions and new analysis are non-trivial and the results are good.\n\nPROS:\n1. Well written though difficult in places for somebody like myself who is not involved in this area.\n2. Much improved scalability to real datasets\n3. Good theoretical analysis supporting the extensions.\n4.

If this were the stepping stone to proving optimality of certain optimization strategies for more complex networks, this may be of some interest, but it seems doubtful.  One indication is given in Sec. 7 / Fig. 1 in which it is shown that for even quite small numbers of hidden units, spurious local optima do occur and are reached 40% of the time for random initializations even with only 11 nodes.\n\n", "decision": "Invite to Workshop Track"}, "nonreaders": [], "details": {"tags": [], "replyCount": 0, "invitation": {"id": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Acceptance_Decision", "rdate": null, "ddate": null, "expdate": 1541175629000, "duedate": null, "tmdate": 1541177635767, "tddate": null, "super": null, "final": null, "reply": {"forum": null, "replyto": null, "invitation": "ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/-/Blind_Submission", "writers": {"values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "signatures": {"description": "How your identity will be displayed with the above content.", "values": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs"]}, "readers": {"description": "The users who will be allowed to read the above content.", "value-dropdown": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference/Program_Chairs", "everyone"]}, "content": {"title": {"required": true, "order": 1, "value": "ICLR 2018 Conference Acceptance Decision"}, "comment": {"required": false, "order": 3, "description": "(optional) Comment on this decision.", "value-regex": "[\\S\\s]{0,5000}"}, "decision": {"required": true, "order": 2, "value-dropdown": ["Accept (Oral)", "Accept (Poster)", "Reject", "Invite to Workshop Track"]}}}, "signatures": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "readers": ["everyone"], "nonreaders": [], "invitees": [], "noninvitees": [], "writers": ["ICLR.cc/2018/Conference"], "multiReply": null, "taskCompletionCount": null, "transform": null, "cdate": 1541177635767, "type": "note"}}}

Furthermore, the zero-shot evaluation is somewhat disappointing. If the grammar extracted by the authors in sec. 3.2 did indeed indicate the compositional nature of the emergent communication, the authors should have shown that they could in fact build a message themselves, give it to the listener with an image and ask it to answer. On the other hand, \"3\" is also too low of a score. In this renaissance of emergent communication protocol with multi-agent deep learning systems, one missing piece has been an effort toward seriously analyzing the actual properties of the emergent communication protocol.  This is one of the few papers that have tackled this aspect more carefully. The ACs decided to accept the paper.

The study is done on a reasonable number of datasets and, after the reviewers' comments, confidence intervals have been added,  although Table 1 puts results in bold but many of these results are not statistically significant.\n\nThe paper, however, lacks a proper analysis of the results. Two main things could be improved:\n- Normalization does not always have the same effect but the reasons for it are not discussed. This needs not be done theoretically but a more thorough analysis would have been appreciated.\n- There is no hyperparameter tuning, which means that the results are heavily dependent on which hyperparameters were chosen. Thus, it is hard to draw any conclusion.\n\nRegarding the seemingly conflicting remarks of the two reviewers, it all depends on what the paper is trying to achieve. If it tries to show that is it state-of-the-art, then comparing to state-of-the-art algorithms on every dataset is crucial. If it tries to study the impact of one specific change, in this case layer normalization, on the optimization, then comparing to the vanilla version is fine. The paper seems to try to address the latter so it is OK if it is not compared to all the state-of-the-art algorithms. However, proper tuning of existing methods is still required.\n\nUltimately, a better understanding of layer normalization could be useful but the paper is not convincing enough to provide that understanding.

The revisions have addressed many of the concerns about quality, clarity, and significance. The paper gives an end to end explanation in Bayesian terms of generalization in neural networks using SGD.\n\nHowever, it is my opinion that Bayesian statistics is not, at present, a theory that can be used to explain why a learning algorithm works. The Bayesian theory is too optimistic: you introduce a prior and model and then trust both implicitly. Relative to any particular prior and model (likelihood), the Bayesian posterior is the optimal summary of the data, but if either part is misspecified, then the Bayesian posterior carries no optimality guarantee. The prior is chosen for convenience here. And the model (a neural network feeding into cross entropy) is clearly misspecified.\n\nHowever, there are ways to sidestep both these issues using a frequentist theory closely related to Bayes, which can explain generalization. Indeed, you cite a recent such paper by Dzugate and Roy who use PAC-Bayes. However, you citation is disappointingly misleading: a reader would never know that these authors are also responding to Zhang, have already proposed to explain \"broad minima\" in (PAC-)Bayesian terms, and then even get nonvacuous bounds. (The connection between PAC-bayes and marginl likelihood is explained by Germain et al. \"PAC-Bayesian Theory Meets Bayesian Inference\").  Dzugate et al don't propose to explain why SGD finds such \"good\" minima. So I would say, your work provides the missing half of their argument. This work deserves more prominent placement and shouldn't be buried on page 5. Indeed, it should appear in the introduction and a proper description of the relationship should be given.
