Strategic Linear Contextual Bandits

Neural Information Processing Systems

Recommendation algorithms that select the most relevant item for sequentially arriving users or queries have become vital for navigating the internet and its many online platforms.


Label Noise: Ignorance Is Bliss

Neural Information Processing Systems

We establish a new theoretical framework for learning under multi-class, instance-dependent label noise. This framework casts learning with label noise as a form of domain adaptation, in particular, domain adaptation under posterior drift.




Exploitation of a Latent Mechanism in Graph Contrastive Learning: Representation Scattering Dongxiao He

Neural Information Processing Systems

Graph Contrastive Learning (GCL) has emerged as a powerful approach for generating graph representations without the need for manual annotation. Most advanced GCL methods fall into three main frameworks: node discrimination, group discrimination, and bootstrapping schemes, all of which achieve comparable performance. However, the underlying mechanisms and factors that contribute to their effectiveness are not yet fully understood.



Breaking the False Sense of Security in Backdoor Defense through Re-Activation Attack

Neural Information Processing Systems

To further verify this finding, we empirically show that these dormant backdoors can be easily re-activated during inference stage, by manipulating the original trigger with well-designed tiny perturbation using universal adversarial attack.
