Text-to-image diffusion models can generate stunning visuals, yet they often fail at tasks children find trivial--like placing a dog to the right of a teddy bear rather than to the left. When combinations get more unusual--a giraffe above…
In most machine learning training paradigms a fixed, often handcrafted, loss function is assumed to be a good proxy for an underlying evaluation metric. In this work we assess this assumption by meta-learning an adaptive loss function to…
Deep learning models are trained to minimize the error between the model's output and the actual values. The typical cost function, the Mean Squared Error (MSE), arises from maximizing the log-likelihood of additive independent, identically…
