Semisupervised methods inevitably invoke some assumption that links the marginal distribution of the features to the regression function of the label. Most commonly, the cluster or manifold assumptions are used which imply that the…

Graphs are naturally sparse objects that are used to study many problems involving networks, for example, distributed learning and graph signal processing. In some cases, the graph is not given, but must be learned from the problem and…

Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNN) require millions of labeled training examples for image classification and object detection tasks, which restrict these models to domains where such datasets are available. In this paper, we explore…

Deep learning is a data-hungry approach, which requires massive training data. However, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to collect abundant fully-annotated training data for all categories. Assuming the existence of base categories…

Understanding how humans and machines learn from sparse data is central to cognitive science and machine learning. Using a species-fair design, we compare children and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in a few-shot semi-supervised…

Handling missing data is one of the most fundamental problems in machine learning. Among many approaches, the simplest and most intuitive way is zero imputation, which treats the value of a missing entry simply as zero. However, many…

Supervised, semi-supervised, and unsupervised learning estimate a function given input/output samples. Generalization of the learned function to unseen data can be improved by incorporating side information into learning. Side information…

We introduce methods for discovering and applying sparse feature circuits. These are causally implicated subnetworks of human-interpretable features for explaining language model behaviors. Circuits identified in prior work consist of…

Noisy labels, resulting from mistakes in manual labeling or webly data collecting for supervised learning, can cause neural networks to overfit the misleading information and degrade the generalization performance. Self-supervised learning…

We present a new method to learn video representations from unlabeled data. Given large-scale unlabeled video data, the objective is to benefit from such data by learning a generic and transferable representation space that can be directly…

Active learning is a type of sequential design for supervised machine learning, in which the learning algorithm sequentially requests the labels of selected instances from a large pool of unlabeled data points. The objective is to produce a…

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have had great success in many real-world applications and have also been used to model visual processing in the brain. However, these networks are quite brittle - small changes in the input image can…

Unsupervised learning requiring only raw data is not only a fundamental function of the cerebral cortex, but also a foundation for a next generation of artificial neural networks. However, a unified theoretical framework to treat sensory…

The outputs of a trained neural network contain much richer information than just an one-hot classifier. For example, a neural network might give an image of a dog the probability of one in a million of being a cat but it is still much…

Machine learning problems involving sparse datasets may benefit from the use of convolutional neural networks if the numbers of samples and features are very large. Such datasets are increasingly more frequently encountered in a variety of…

Many important problems in science and engineering involve inferring a signal from noisy and/or incomplete observations, where the observation process is known. Historically, this problem has been tackled using hand-crafted regularization…

By controlling synaptic and neural correlations, deep learning has achieved empirical successes in improving classification performances. How synaptic correlations affect neural correlations to produce disentangled hidden representations…

Self-training is one of the earliest and simplest semi-supervised methods. The key idea is to augment the original labeled dataset with unlabeled data paired with the model's prediction (i.e. the pseudo-parallel data). While self-training…

The goal of self-supervised visual representation learning is to learn strong, transferable image representations, with the majority of research focusing on object or scene level. On the other hand, representation learning at part level has…

Sparse coding in learned dictionaries has been established as a successful approach for signal denoising, source separation and solving inverse problems in general. A dictionary learning method adapts an initial dictionary to a particular…
