On the Value of Infinite Gradients in Variational Autoencoder Models

Neural Information Processing Systems

But it remains an open question: What might the unintended consequences of such a restriction be? To address this issue, we examine how unbounded gradients relate to the regularization of a broad class of autoencoder-based architectures, including V AE models, as applied to data lying on or near a low-dimensional manifold (e.g., natural images).



DistributedDistributionallyRobustOptimizationwith Non-ConvexObjectives

Neural Information Processing Systems

Centralized machine learning requires gathering the data to a particular server to train models which incurs high communication overhead [46] and suffersprivacyrisks[43]. Asaremedy,distributedmachine learning methods havebeenproposed. Considering a distributed system composed ofN workers (devices), we denote the dataset of these workers as{D1,,DN}.

We show that the matrix perspective function, which is jointly convex in the Cartesian product of a standard Euclidean vector space and a conformal space of symmetric matrices, has a proximity operator in an almost closed form.

Eq. (4) gives the causal operator.1.2 The set C represents the smallest set for which Eq. (2) holds. The conditions in Theorem 3.1 allow for full transfer across all intervention functions in This is equivalent to sampling from the mutilated graph. We compute the integrals in Eqs. Finally, we fix the variance in the likelihood of Eq.
