Coneheads: Hierarchy Aware Attention

Neural Information Processing Systems

These networks rely heavily on the dot product attention operator, which computes the similarity between two points by taking their inner product. However, the inner product does not explicitly model the complex structural properties of real world datasets, such as hierarchies between data points.

Appendix

Neural Information Processing Systems

The appendix is organized as follows. In Appendix B we bound the Hessian of the network and introduce some technical lemmas. In Appendix D we put the aforementioned results together to prove Theorem 3.5. In Appendix E we explain the merit of Assumption 3.6. In Appendix F we describe the details of our experiments with a link to the relevant code. Our approach to generalization will be based on metric entropy (see, e.g., Wainwright, 2019), a We recall some basic definitions.


On the Effectiveness of Supervision in Asymmetric Non-Contrastive Learning

Oh, Jeongheon, Lee, Kibok

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Supervised contrastive representation learning has been shown to be effective in various transfer learning scenarios. However, while asymmetric non-contrastive learning (ANCL) often outperforms its contrastive learning counterpart in self-supervised representation learning, the extension of ANCL to supervised scenarios is less explored. To bridge the gap, we study ANCL for supervised representation learning, coined SupSiam and SupBYOL, leveraging labels in ANCL to achieve better representations. The proposed supervised ANCL framework improves representation learning while avoiding collapse. Our analysis reveals that providing supervision to ANCL reduces intra-class variance, and the contribution of supervision should be adjusted to achieve the best performance. Experiments demonstrate the superiority of supervised ANCL across various datasets and tasks. The code is available at: https://github.com/JH-Oh-23/Sup-ANCL.


Loss Gradient Gaussian Width based Generalization and Optimization Guarantees

Generalization and optimization guarantees on the population loss in machine learning often rely on uniform convergence based analysis, typically based on the Rademacher complexity of the predictors. The rich representation power of modern models has led to concerns about this approach. In this paper, we present generalization and optimization guarantees in terms of the complexity of the gradients, as measured by the Loss Gradient Gaussian Width (LGGW). First, we introduce generalization guarantees directly in terms of the LGGW under a flexible gradient domination condition, which we demonstrate to hold empirically for deep models. Second, we show that sample reuse in finite sum (stochastic) optimization does not make the empirical gradient deviate from the population gradient as long as the LGGW is small. Third, focusing on deep networks, we present results showing how to bound their LGGW under mild assumptions. In particular, we show that their LGGW can be bounded (a) by the $L_2$-norm of the loss Hessian eigenvalues, which has been empirically shown to be $\tilde{O}(1)$ for commonly used deep models; and (b) in terms of the Gaussian width of the featurizer, i.e., the output of the last-but-one layer. To our knowledge, our generalization and optimization guarantees in terms of LGGW are the first results of its kind, avoid the pitfalls of predictor Rademacher complexity based analysis, and hold considerable promise towards quantitatively tight bounds for deep models.


Foundational propositions of hesitant fuzzy sets and parameter reductions of hesitant fuzzy information systems

Lu, Shizhan

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Hesitant fuzzy sets are widely used in the instances of uncertainty and hesitation. The inclusion relationship is an important and foundational definition for sets. Hesitant fuzzy set, as a kind of set, needs explicit definition of inclusion relationship. Base on the hesitant fuzzy membership degree of discrete form, several kinds of inclusion relationships for hesitant fuzzy sets are proposed. And then some foundational propositions of hesitant fuzzy sets and the families of hesitant fuzzy sets are presented. Finally, some foundational propositions of hesitant fuzzy information systems with respect to parameter reductions are put forward, and an example and an algorithm are given to illustrate the processes of parameter reductions.
