Neural Information Processing Systems

In Section 4, we argue that there exists a discrepancy between over-smoothing based theoretical results and the practical capabilities of deep GCN models, demonstrating that over-smoothing is not the key factor that leads to the performance degradation in deeper GCNs.



BeyondAesthetics: CulturalCompetencein Text-to-ImageModels

Neural Information Processing Systems

In particular, we apply this approach to build CUBE (CUltural BEnchmark forText-to-Image models), afirst-of-its-kind benchmark toevaluate cultural competence of T2I models.2 CUBE covers cultural artifacts associated with 8 countries across different geo-cultural regions and along 3 concepts: cuisine, landmarks, and art. CUBE consists of 1) CUBE-1K, a set of high-quality prompts thatenable theevaluation ofcultural awareness, and2)CUBE-CSpace, a larger dataset of cultural artifacts that serves as grounding to evaluate cultural diversity.


OnConvergenceofFedProx: LocalDissimilarity InvariantBounds, Non-smoothnessandBeyond

Neural Information Processing Systems

Several popularly used FL algorithms for this setting includeFedAvg (McMahan et al., 2017), FedProx(Lietal.,2020b), We analyze its convergence behavior, expose problems, andpropose alternativesmore suitable forscaling upandgeneralization.




HardnessofNoise-FreeLearningfor Two-Hidden-LayerNeuralNetworks

Neural Information Processing Systems

We give superpolynomial statistical query (SQ) lower bounds for learning twohidden-layer ReLU networks with respect to Gaussian inputs in the standard (noise-free)model.
