Algorithmic Capabilities of Random Transformers

Neural Information Processing Systems

Why is this the case? One possibility is that some aspect of the transformer architecture makes these behaviors easy to learn. Under this hypothesis, transformer models do not implement any useful functionality when initialized; however, their loss landscape is structured such that they can be (computation-and sample-) efficiently optimized for behaviors of interest.


In-Context Symmetries: Self-Supervised Learning through Contextual World Models

Neural Information Processing Systems

Can incorporating context into self-supervised vision algorithms eliminate augmentation-based inductive priors and enable dynamic adaptation to varying task symmetries? This work suggests a positive answer to this question by proposing to enhance the current joint embedding architecture with a finite context -- an abstract representation of a task, containing a few demonstrations that inform about task-specific symmetries, as shown in Figure 2(c).



TrAct: Making First-layer Pre-Activations Trainable

Neural Information Processing Systems

We consider the learning of first-layer embeddings / pre-activations in vision models, and in particular learning the weights with which the input images are transformed in order to obtain these embeddings.

Learning to Predict Structural Vibrations Jan van Delden 1,*, Julius Schultz

Neural Information Processing Systems

In mechanical structures like airplanes, cars and houses, noise is generated and transmitted through vibrations. To take measures to reduce this noise, vibrations need to be simulated with expensive numerical computations. Deep learning surrogate models present a promising alternative to classical numerical simulations as they can be evaluated magnitudes faster, while trading-off accuracy. To quantify such trade-offs systematically and foster the development of methods, we present a benchmark on the task of predicting the vibration of harmonically excited plates. The benchmark features a total of 12,000 plate geometries with varying forms of beadings, material, boundary conditions, load position and sizes with associated numerical solutions. To address the benchmark task, we propose a new network architecture, named Frequency-Query Operator, which predicts vibration patterns of plate geometries given a specific excitation frequency. Applying principles from operator learning and implicit models for shape encoding, our approach effectively addresses the prediction of highly variable frequency response functions occurring in dynamic systems. To quantify the prediction quality, we introduce a set of evaluation metrics and evaluate the method on our vibrating-plates benchmark. Our method outperforms Deep-ONets, Fourier Neural Operators and more traditional neural network architectures and can be used for design optimization.
