Mars: Situated Inductive Reasoning in an Open-World Environment Xiaojuan Tang

Neural Information Processing Systems

Large Language Models (LLMs) trained on massive corpora have shown remarkable success in knowledge-intensive tasks. Y et, most of them rely on pre-stored knowledge. Inducing new general knowledge from a specific environment and performing reasoning with the acquired knowledge-- situated inductive reasoning, is crucial and challenging for machine intelligence. In this paper, we design Mars, an interactive environment devised for situated inductive reasoning. It introduces counter-commonsense game mechanisms by modifying terrain, survival setting and task dependency while adhering to certain principles.




Connecting Joint-Embedding Predictive Architecture with Contrastive Self-supervised Learning

Neural Information Processing Systems

Our contributions are manifold and significant. Firstly, we identify and articulate the limitations inherent in the I-JEP A framework, specifically its EMA and prediction mechanisms.


Graph Stochastic Neural Networks for Semi-supervised Learning: Supplemental Material Haibo Wang

Neural Information Processing Systems

The supplemental material includes the following contents. Actually, Eq. (11) can also be derived from Eq. (4) rigorously. The pseudo-code of GSNN is in Algorithm 1. The detailed statistics of three datasets used in this paper are listed in Table 1. In this paper, when evaluating the performance in the standard experimental scenario and in the label-scarce scenario, we compare with six state-of-the-art baselines used for graph-based semi-supervised learning.



Transfer Learning in a Transductive Setting

Neural Information Processing Systems

Category models for objects or activities typically rely on supervised learning requiring sufficiently large training sets. Transferring knowledge from known categories to novel classes with no or only a few labels is far less researched even though it is a common scenario. In this work, we extend transfer learning with semi-supervised learning to exploit unlabeled instances of (novel) categories with no or only a few labeled instances. Our proposed approach Propagated Semantic Transfer combines three techniques. First, we transfer information from known to novel categories by incorporating external knowledge, such as linguistic or expert-specified information, e.g., by a mid-level layer of semantic attributes.



Learning with Fredholm Kernels

Neural Information Processing Systems

In this paper we propose a framework for supervised and semi-supervised learning based on reformulating the learning problem as a regularized Fredholm integral equation. Our approach fits naturally into the kernel framework and can be interpreted as constructing new data-dependent kernels, which we call Fredholm kernels. We proceed to discuss the "noise assumption" for semi-supervised learning and provide both theoretical and experimental evidence that Fredholm kernels can effectively utilize unlabeled data under the noise assumption. We demonstrate that methods based on Fredholm learning show very competitive performance in the standard semi-supervised learning setting.
