Does CLIP Bind Concepts? Probing Compositionality in Large Image Models

Martha Lewis, Nihal V. Nayak, Peilin Yu +4

Large-scale neural network models combining text and images have made incredible progress in recent years. However, it remains an open question to what extent such models encode co…

Stability Annealing Selects the Implicit Bias of Smoothed Sign Descent: A Rate-Indexed Barrier Path on Separable Data

Xiangwu Wang, Chengwei Cao, Yicheng Song +2

Adaptive gradient methods can favor max-margin separators that differ from gradient descent, yet a fixed positive numerical stability constant eventually changes the update geometr…

A Set-to-Set Distance Measure in Hyperbolic Space

Pengxiang Li, Wei Wu, Zhi Gao +6

We propose a hyperbolic set-to-set distance measure for computing dissimilarity between sets in hyperbolic space. While point-to-point distances in hyperbolic space effectively cap…

Learning from Multiple Noisy Partial Labelers

Peilin Yu, Tiffany Ding, Stephen H. Bach

Programmatic weak supervision creates models without hand-labeled training data by combining the outputs of heuristic labelers. Existing frameworks make the restrictive assumption…

A Scale-adaptive Vision Model Links C. elegans Neuronal Morphology to Behavior for Neurotoxicity Assessment

Haochao Ying, Shenchong Lv, Yutao Sun +8

Neurological disorders are a leading cause of global disability and are increasingly linked to environmental chemical exposures. Yet neurotoxicity assessment still relies on hand-s…
