Distribution-Aware Data Expansion with Diffusion Models

Neural Information Processing Systems

However, acquiring large-scale annotated datasets is both a costly and time-consuming endeavor. To address this challenge, dataset expansion technologies aim to automatically augment datasets, unlocking the full potential of deep models.


Super Consistency of Neural Network Landscapes and Learning Rate Transfer Lorenzo Noci

Neural Information Processing Systems

Recently, there has been growing evidence that if the width and depth of a neural network are scaled toward the so-called rich feature learning limit ( ยต P and its depth extension), then some hyperparameters -- such as the learning rate -- exhibit transfer from small to very large models. From an optimization perspective, this phenomenon is puzzling, as it implies that the loss landscape is consistently similar across very different model sizes. In this work, we study the landscape through the lens of the loss Hessian, with a focus on its largest eigenvalue (i.e. the sharpness), and find that certain spectral properties under ยต P are largely independent of the size of the network, and remain consistent as training progresses. We name this property Super Consistency of the landscape. On the other hand, we show that in the Neural Tangent Kernel (NTK) and other scaling regimes, the sharpness exhibits very different dynamics at different scales.




Multi-Scale Representation Learning for Protein Fitness Prediction

Neural Information Processing Systems

Given the limited availability of functional annotations from wet-lab experiments, previous methods have primarily relied on self-supervised models trained on vast, unlabeled protein sequence or structure datasets.
