You Don't Need Domain-Specific Data Augmentations When Scaling Self-Supervised Learning

Neural Information Processing Systems

All instantiations of this paradigm were trained using strong and well-established hand-crafted data augmentations, leading to the general belief that they are required for the proper training and performance of such models.


Jointly Modeling Inter- & Intra-Modality Dependencies for Multi-modal Learning

Neural Information Processing Systems

We view the multi-modal learning problem from the lens of generative models where we consider the target as a source of multiple modalities and the interaction between them. Towards that end, we propose inter- & intra-modality modeling (I2M2) framework, which captures and integrates both the inter-and intra-modality dependencies, leading to more accurate predictions.



Provable Benefits of Complex Parameterizations for Structured State Space Models

Neural Information Processing Systems

Structured state space models (SSMs), the core engine behind prominent neural networks such as S4 and Mamba, are linear dynamical systems adhering to a specified structure, most notably diagonal. In contrast to typical neural network modules, whose parameterizations are real, SSMs often use complex parameter-izations. Theoretically explaining the benefits of complex parameterizations for SSMs is an open problem. The current paper takes a step towards its resolution, by establishing formal gaps between real and complex diagonal SSMs.






Factuality-Aware Alignment for Large Language Models

Neural Information Processing Systems

This makes SFT less factual as it trains on human-labeled data that may be novel to the LLM. Furthermore, reward functions used in standard RL often inadequately capture factuality and favor longer and more detailed responses, which inadvertently promote hallucination.
