Neural Data Server: A Large-Scale Search Engine for Transfer Learning Data

Xi Yan, David Acuna, Sanja Fidler

Transfer learning has proven to be a successful technique to train deep learning models in the domains where little training data is available. The dominant approach is to pretrain…

Socratic-MCTS: Test-Time Visual Reasoning by Asking the Right Questions

David Acuna, Ximing Lu, Jaehun Jung +4

Recent research in vision-language models (VLMs) has centered around the possibility of equipping them with implicit long-form chain-of-thought reasoning -- akin to the success obs…

Training Deep Networks with Synthetic Data: Bridging the Reality Gap by Domain Randomization

Jonathan Tremblay, Aayush Prakash, David Acuna +7

We present a system for training deep neural networks for object detection using synthetic images. To handle the variability in real-world data, the system relies upon the techniqu…

RefFusion: Reference Adapted Diffusion Models for 3D Scene Inpainting

Ashkan Mirzaei, Riccardo De Lutio, Seung Wook Kim +5

Neural reconstruction approaches are rapidly emerging as the preferred representation for 3D scenes, but their limited editability is still posing a challenge. In this work, we pro…

Federated Learning with Heterogeneous Architectures using Graph HyperNetworks

Or Litany, Haggai Maron, David Acuna +3

Standard Federated Learning (FL) techniques are limited to clients with identical network architectures. This restricts potential use-cases like cross-platform training or inter-or…

Complex Momentum for Optimization in Games

Jonathan Lorraine, David Acuna, Paul Vicol +1

We generalize gradient descent with momentum for optimization in differentiable games to have complex-valued momentum. We give theoretical motivation for our method by proving conv…
