Appendix: OnLearningDomain-Invariant RepresentationsforTransferLearningwithMultiple Sources

Neural Information Processing Systems

Let ห†f: X 7 Y where ห†f = ห†h g with g: X 7 Z and ห†h: Z 7 Y . Corollary 2. Consider a domainD = (P,f) with data distributionP and ground-truth labeling functionf. A hypothesis is ห†f: X 7 Y, where ห†f = ห†h g withg: X 7 Z and ห†h: Z 7 Y . Here, thiskind ofbound isdeveloped using data distributionPoninput space andlabeling functionf from input tolabel space, which arenot convenient in understanding representation learning, sincePT,PS are data nature and therefore fixed. Theorem 3. (Theorem 1 in the main paper) Consider a mixture of source domainsDฯ€ = Next, we relate the loss on targetDTg to hybrid domain Dhyg, which differs only at the feature marginals. In other words, the equality happens when all distributions are the sameQ1=...=QC.




Bounded rationality in structured density estimation Tianyuan T eng

Neural Information Processing Systems

Learning to accurately represent environmental uncertainty is crucial for adaptive and optimal behaviors in various cognitive tasks. However, it remains unclear how the human brain, constrained by finite cognitive resources, internalise the highly structured environmental uncertainty. In this study, we explore how these learned distributions deviate from the ground truth, resulting in observable inconsistency in a novel structured density estimation task. During each trial, human participants were asked to learn and report the latent probability distribution functions underlying sequentially presented independent observations. As the number of observations increased, the reported predictive density became closer to the ground truth. Nevertheless, we observed an intriguing inconsistency in human structure estimation, specifically a large error in the number of reported clusters.

Thomas Edison's failed rechargeable battery may get a second life

Popular Science

Technology Engineering Thomas Edison's failed rechargeable battery may get a second life The famed inventor's nickel-iron idea isn't suited for EVs, but it could help solar farms and data centers. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. A rechargeable battery based on technology pioneered by Thomas Edison may finally get its due. But while the famous inventor envisioned nickel-iron batteries powering the automobile industry over a century ago, researchers now believe the underlying concepts are more suited for renewable energy centers. According to a study published in the journal, a team including engineers from the University of California, Los Angeles have developed a prototype battery that recharges in seconds and withstands over 12,000 cycles of use--an equivalent to over 30 years of daily activity.
