Searching the Search Space of Vision Transformer

Neural Information Processing Systems

Vision Transformer has shown great visual representation power in substantial vision tasks such as recognition and detection, and thus been attracting fast-growing efforts on manually designing more effective architectures. In this paper, we propose to use neural architecture search to automate this process, by searching not only the architecture but also the search space. The central idea is to gradually evolve different search dimensions guided by their E-TError computed using a weight-sharing supernet. Moreover, we provide design guidelines of general vision transformers with extensive analysis according to the space searching process, which could promote the understanding of vision transformer. Remarkably, the searched models, named S3 (short for Searching the Search Space), from the searched space achieve superior performance to recently proposed models, such as Swin, DeiT and ViT, when evaluated on ImageNet. The effectiveness of S3 is also illustrated on object detection, semantic segmentation and visual question answering, demonstrating its generality to downstream vision and vision-language tasks. Code and models will be available at here.



Synthetic Design: An Optimization Approach to Experimental Design with Synthetic Controls

Neural Information Processing Systems

We investigate the optimal design of experimental studies that have pre-treatment outcome data available. The average treatment effect is estimated as the difference between the weighted average outcomes of the treated and control units. A number of commonly used approaches fit this formulation, including the difference-inmeans estimator and a variety of synthetic-control techniques. We propose several methods for choosing the set of treated units in conjunction with the weights. Observing the NP-hardness of the problem, we introduce a mixed-integer programming formulation which selects both the treatment and control sets and unit weightings. We prove that these proposed approaches lead to qualitatively different experimental units being selected for treatment. We use simulations based on publicly available data from the USBureau of Labor Statistics that show improvements in terms of mean squared error and statistical power when compared to simple and commonly used alternatives such as randomized trials.


Supplementary Material for DeWave: Discrete Encoding of EEGWaves for EEG to Text Translation

Neural Information Processing Systems

In this material, we will give more technical details as well as additional experiments to support the main paper. The overview of the proposed framework, DeWave, is illustrated in Figure 6. Ground Bush attended the University of Texas at Austin, where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a Truth Bachelor's degree in Latin American Studies in 1973, taking only two and a half years to complete his work, and obtaining generally excellent grades. Predictwas the University of California at Austin in where he studied in Beta Kappa in a degree of degree in history American Studies in 1975. ZuCo stands for Zurich Cognitive Language Processing Corpus (ZuCo), a dataset that includes both raw and preprocessed eye-tracking and electroencephalography (EEG) data. The data is collected by having human subjects read given text corpora while simultaneously recording both their eye-tracking signals and EEG waves.
