Sharma et al. (2022) provide Y ang et al. (2022a) integrate Local SGDA with stochastic gradient estimators to eliminate the More recently, Zhang et al. (2023) adopt compressed momentum methods with Local SGD to increase the communication efficiency of the algorithm. For centralized nonconvex minimax problems, Y ang et al. (2022b) show that, even in deterministic settings, GDA-based methods necessitate the timescale separation of the stepsizes for primal and dual updates.

By assessing human annotators as classifiers, we remove the subjective quality of existing evaluation metrics.

Modeling the time evolution of discrete sets of items (e.g., genetic mutations) is a fundamental problem in many biomedical applications. We approach this problem through the lens of continuous-time Markov chains, and show that the resulting learning task is generally underspecified in the usual setting of cross-sectional data. We explore a perhaps surprising remedy: including a number of additional independent items can help determine time order, and hence resolve underspecifi-cation. This is in sharp contrast to the common practice of limiting the analysis to a small subset of relevant items, which is followed largely due to poor scaling of existing methods. To put our theoretical insight into practice, we develop an approximate likelihood maximization method for learning continuous-time Markov chains, which can scale to hundreds of items and is orders of magnitude faster than previous methods. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on synthetic and real cancer data.

KL divergence between the trained posterior distribution obtained by infinitesimal step size gradient descent and a Gaussian prior.

While several types of post hoc explanation methods have been proposed in recent literature, there is very little work on systematically benchmarking these methods. Here, we introduce OpenXAI, a comprehensive and extensible open-source framework for evaluating and benchmarking post hoc explanation methods.
