  • Sense of smell is our most rapid warning system October 14, 2021
    The ability to detect and react to the smell of a potential threat is a precondition of our and other mammals' survival.

The study indicates that negative smells associated […]

  • Considering user agreement in learning to predict the aesthetic quality. (arXiv:2110.06956v1 [cs.CV])
    How to robustly rank the aesthetic quality of given images has been a long-standing ill-posed topic. Such challenge stems mainly from the diverse subjective opinions of different observers about the varied types of content. There is a growing interest in estimating the user agreement by considering the standard deviation of the scores, instead of only […]
  • A Contraction Theory Approach to Optimization Algorithms from Acceleration Flows. (arXiv:2105.08832v2 [math.OC] UPDATED)
    Much recent interest has focused on the design of optimization algorithms from the discretization of an associated optimization flow, i.e., a system of differential equations (ODEs) whose trajectories solve an associated optimization problem. Such a design approach poses an important problem: how to find a principled methodology to design and discretize appropriate ODEs. This paper […]
  • Looper: An end-to-end ML platform for product decisions. (arXiv:2110.07554v1 [cs.LG])
    Modern software systems and products increasingly rely on machine learning models to make data-driven decisions based on interactions with users and systems, e.g., compute infrastructure. For broader adoption, this practice must (i) accommodate software engineers without ML backgrounds, and (ii) provide mechanisms to optimize for product goals. In this work, we describe general principles and […]
  • Practical Benefits of Feature Feedback Under Distribution Shift. (arXiv:2110.07566v1 [cs.CL])
    In attempts to develop sample-efficient algorithms, researcher have explored myriad mechanisms for collecting and exploiting feature feedback, auxiliary annotations provided for training (but not test) instances that highlight salient evidence. Examples include bounding boxes around objects and salient spans in text. Despite its intuitive appeal, feature feedback has not delivered significant gains in practical problems […]
  • LAGr: Labeling Aligned Graphs for Improving Systematic Generalization in Semantic Parsing. (arXiv:2110.07572v1 [cs.CL])
    Semantic parsing is the task of producing a structured meaning representation for natural language utterances or questions. Recent research has pointed out that the commonly-used sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) semantic parsers struggle to generalize systematically, i.e. to handle examples that require recombining known knowledge in novel settings. In this work, we show that better systematic generalization can […]
  • UniPELT: A Unified Framework for Parameter-Efficient Language Model Tuning. (arXiv:2110.07577v1 [cs.CL])
    Conventional fine-tuning of pre-trained language models tunes all model parameters and stores a full model copy for each downstream task, which has become increasingly infeasible as the model size grows larger. Recent parameter-efficient language model tuning (PELT) methods manage to match the performance of fine-tuning with much fewer trainable parameters and perform especially well when […]
  • Graph Condensation for Graph Neural Networks. (arXiv:2110.07580v1 [cs.LG])
    Given the prevalence of large-scale graphs in real-world applications, the storage and time for training neural models have raised increasing concerns. To alleviate the concerns, we propose and study the problem of graph condensation for graph neural networks (GNNs). Specifically, we aim to condense the large, original graph into a small, synthetic and highly-informative graph, […]

Existing environments feature subsets of these properties, but Neural MMO is the first to combine them all. We present Neural MMO as free and open source software with active support, ongoing development, documentation, […]
  • Compressibility of Distributed Document Representations. (arXiv:2110.07595v1 [cs.CL])
    Contemporary natural language processing (NLP) revolves around learning from latent document representations, generated either implicitly by neural language models or explicitly by methods such as doc2vec or similar. One of the key properties of the obtained representations is their dimension. Whilst the commonly adopted dimensions of 256 and 768 offer sufficient performance on many tasks, […]
  • Retrieval-guided Counterfactual Generation for QA. (arXiv:2110.07596v1 [cs.CL])
    Deep NLP models have been shown to learn spurious correlations, leaving them brittle to input perturbations. Recent work has shown that counterfactual or contrastive data -- i.e. minimally perturbed inputs -- can reveal these weaknesses, and that data augmentation using counterfactuals can help ameliorate them. Proposed techniques for generating counterfactuals rely on human annotations, perturbations […]
