Neural Information Processing Systems

Humans are remarkably flexible in understanding viewpoint changes due to visual cortex supporting the perception of 3D structure. In contrast, most of the computer vision models that learn visual representation from a pool of 2D images often fail to generalize over novel camera viewpoints. Recently, the vision architectures have shifted towards convolution-free architectures, visual Transformers, which operate on tokens derived from image patches. However, these Transformers do not perform explicit operations to learn viewpoint-agnostic representation for visual understanding. To this end, we propose a 3DToken Representation Layer (3DTRL) that estimates the 3D positional information of the visual tokens and leverages it for learning viewpoint-agnostic representations.


Active Learning of Classifiers with Label and Seed Queries

Neural Information Processing Systems

We study exact active learning of binary and multiclass classifiers with margin. Given an n-point set X Rm, we want to learn an unknown classifier on X whose classes have finite strong convex hull margin, a new notion extending the SVM margin.

We provide concrete rules below for the two competition tracks that comprise DATACOMP: filtering and BYOD . Additionally, we provide a checklist, which encourages participants to specify design decisions, which allows for more granular comparison between submissions. A.1 Filtering track rules Participants can enter submissions for one or many different scales: small, medium, large or xlarge, which represent the raw number of image-text pairs in CommonPool that should be filtered. After choosing a scale, participants generate a list of uids, where each uid refers to a COMMONPOOL sample. The list of uids is used to recover image-text pairs from the pool, which is used for downstream CLIP training.

We provide the supplements of "Contextual Gaussian Process Bandits with Neural Networks" here. Specifically, we discuss alternative acquisition functions that can be incorporated with the neural network-accompanied Gaussian process (NN-AGP) model in Section 6. In Section 7, we discuss the bandit algorithm with NN-AGP, where the neural network approximation error is considered. In Section 8, we provide the detailed proof of theorems. We provide the experimental details and include additional numerical experiments in Section 9. Last we discuss the limitations of NN-AGP and propose the potential approaches to addressing the limitations for future work, including sparse NN-AGP for alleviating computational burdens and transfer learning with NN-AGP to address cold-start issue; see Section 10. In the main text, we employ the upper confidence bound function as the acquisition function in the contextual Bayesian optimization approach. Here, we provide two alternative choices: Thompson sampling (TS) and knowledge gradient (KG). We describe the two procedures of the contextual GP bandit problems with NN-AGP, where the acquisition function is replaced by TS or KG. It chooses the action that maximizes the expected reward with respect to a random belief that is drawn for a posterior distribution. Besides the multi-armed bandit problems, TS has also achieved both theoretical and practical success in BO and Gaussian process regression. For more detailed discussions on TS, we refer to [87, 88]. Specifically, we propose a neural network-accompanied Gaussian process Thompson sampling (NNAGP-TS) approach to address contextual GP bandits. The approach works as follows. In each iteration, NN-AGP-TS first fits an NN-AGP model with the historic data. Then, given the current contextual variable, a realization of the Gaussian process with respect to x X is sampled from the posterior distribution conditional on the historic data1.
