Toward Robustness against Label Noise in Training Deep Discriminative Neural Networks

Neural Information Processing Systems

Collecting large training datasets, annotated with high-quality labels, is costly and time-consuming. This paper proposes a novel framework for training deep convolutional neural networks from noisy labeled datasets that can be obtained cheaply. The problem is formulated using an undirected graphical model that represents the relationship between noisy and clean labels, trained in a semi-supervised setting.



PredRNN: Recurrent Neural Networks for Predictive Learning using Spatiotemporal LSTMs

Neural Information Processing Systems

The predictive learning of spatiotemporal sequences aims to generate future images by learning from the historical frames, where spatial appearances and temporal variations are two crucial structures.


Fast-Slow Recurrent Neural Networks

Neural Information Processing Systems

The FS-RNN incorporates the strengths of both multiscale RNNs and deep transition RNNs as it processes sequential data on different timescales and learns complex transition functions from one time step to the next.





SVCCA: Singular Vector Canonical Correlation Analysis for Deep Learning Dynamics and Interpretability

Neural Information Processing Systems

We propose a new technique, Singular V ector Canonical Correlation Analysis (SVCCA), a tool for quickly comparing two representations in a way that is both invariant to affine transform (allowing comparison between different layers and networks) and fast to compute (allowing more comparisons to be calculated than with previous methods). We deploy this tool to measure the intrinsic dimensionality of layers, showing in some cases needless over-parameterization; to probe learning dynamics throughout training, finding that networks converge to final representations from the bottom up; to show where class-specific information in networks is formed; and to suggest new training regimes that simultaneously save computation and overfit less.


DropoutNet: Addressing Cold Start in Recommender Systems

Neural Information Processing Systems

Latent models have become the default choice for recommender systems due to their performance and scalability. However, research in this area has primarily focused on modeling user-item interactions, and few latent models have been developed for cold start. Deep learning has recently achieved remarkable success showing excellent results for diverse input types. Inspired by these results we propose a neural network based latent model called DropoutNet to address the cold start problem in recommender systems. Unlike existing approaches that incorporate additional content-based objective terms, we instead focus on the optimization and show that neural network models can be explicitly trained for cold start through dropout. Our model can be applied on top of any existing latent model effectively providing cold start capabilities, and full power of deep architectures. Empirically we demonstrate state-of-the-art accuracy on publicly available benchmarks.


Compression-aware Training of Deep Networks

Neural Information Processing Systems

While it has been shown that training such very deep architectures was typically easier than smaller ones [24], it is also well-known that they are highly over-parameterized.
