The appendix is organized as follows. In Appendix A, we report results for additional bounds for SVHN and ImageNet. We also report the compression size corresponding to our best bound values and compare it to the compression size obtained through standard pruning. Furthermore, in Appendix A.1 we prove why models cannot both be compressible and fit random labels. In Appendix B, we describe how optimization over hyperparameters like the intrinsic dimension impact the P AC-Bayes bound In Appendix C, we show how our P AC-Bayes bound benefit from transfer learning.

Chess involves extensive study and requires players to keep manual records of their matches, a process which is time-consuming and distracting. The lack of high-quality labeled photographs of chess boards, and the tediousness of manual labeling, have hindered the wide application of Deep Learning (DL) to automating this record-keeping process. This paper proposes an end-to-end pipeline that employs domain adaptation (DA) to predict the labels of real, top-view, unlabeled chessboard images using synthetic, labeled images. The pipeline is composed of a pre-processing phase which detects the board, crops the individual squares, and feeds them one at a time to a DL model. The model then predicts the labels of the squares and passes the ordered predictions to a post-processing pipeline which generates the Forsyth-Edwards Notation (FEN) of the position. The three approaches considered are the following: A VGG16 model pre-trained on ImageNet, defined here as the Base-Source model, fine-tuned to predict source domain squares and then used to predict target domain squares without any domain adaptation; an improved version of the Base-Source model which applied CORAL loss to some of the final fully connected layers of the VGG16 to implement DA; and a Domain Adversarial Neural Network (DANN) which used the adversarial training of a domain discriminator to perform the DA. Also, although we opted not to use the labels of the target domain for this study, we trained a baseline with the same architecture as the Base-Source model (Named Base-Target) directly on the target domain in order to get an upper bound on the performance achievable through domain adaptation. The results show that the DANN model only results in a 3% loss in accuracy when compared to the Base-Target model while saving all the effort required to label the data.

In the grain industry, the identification of seed purity is a crucial task as it is an important factor in evaluating the quality of seeds. For rice seeds, this property allows for the reduction of unexpected influences of other varieties on rice yield, nutrient composition, and price. However, in practice, they are often mixed with seeds from others. This study proposes a novel method for automatically identifying the rice seed purity of a certain rice variety based on hybrid machine learning algorithms. The main idea is to use deep learning architectures for extracting important features from the raw data and then use machine learning algorithms for classification. Several experiments are conducted following a practical implementation to evaluate the performance of the proposed model. The obtained results show that the novel method improves significantly the performance of existing methods. Thus, it can be applied to design effective identification systems for rice seed purity.

Disentangled representation learning has undoubtedly benefited from objective function surgery. However, a delicate balancing act of tuning is still required in order to trade off reconstruction fidelity versus disentanglement. Building on previous successes of penalizing the total correlation in the latent variables, we propose TCWAE (Total Correlation Wasserstein Autoencoder). Working in the WAE paradigm naturally enables the separation of the total-correlation term, thus providing disentanglement control over the learned representation, while offering more flexibility in the choice of reconstruction cost. We propose two variants using different KL estimators and perform extensive quantitative comparisons on data sets with known generative factors, showing competitive results relative to state-of-the-art techniques. We further study the trade off between disentanglement and reconstruction on more-difficult data sets with unknown generative factors, where the flexibility of the WAE paradigm in the reconstruction term improves reconstructions.

In recent years, it has been found that neural networks can be easily fooled by adversarial examples, which is a potential safety hazard in some safety-critical applications. Many researchers have proposed various method to make neural networks more robust to white-box adversarial attacks, but an effective method have not been found so far. In this short paper, we focus on the robustness of the features learned by neural networks. We show that the features learned by neural networks are not robust, and find that the robustness of the learned features is closely related to the resistance against adversarial examples of neural networks. We also find that adversarial training against fast gradients sign method (FGSM) does not make the leaned features very robust, even if it can make the trained networks very resistant to FGSM attack. Then we propose a method, which can be seen as an extension of adversarial training, to train neural networks to learn more robust features. We perform experiments on MNIST and CIFAR-10 to evaluate our method, and the experiment results show that this method greatly improves the robustness of the learned features and the resistance to adversarial attacks.
