Efficient Bayesian Sampling Using Normalizing Flows to Assist Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods

Marylou Gabrié, Grant M. Rotskoff, Eric Vanden-Eijnden

Normalizing flows can generate complex target distributions and thus show promise in many applications in Bayesian statistics as an alternative or complement to MCMC for sampling p…

FastSHAP: Real-Time Shapley Value Estimation

Neil Jethani, Mukund Sudarshan, Ian Covert +2

Shapley values are widely used to explain black-box models, but they are costly to calculate because they require many model evaluations. We introduce FastSHAP, a method for estima…

On the Sample Complexity of Learning under Invariance and Geometric Stability

Alberto Bietti, Luca Venturi, Joan Bruna

Many supervised learning problems involve high-dimensional data such as images, text, or graphs. In order to make efficient use of data, it is often useful to leverage certain geom…

Separation Results between Fixed-Kernel and Feature-Learning Probability Metrics

Carles Domingo-Enrich, Youssef Mroueh

Several works in implicit and explicit generative modeling empirically observed that feature-learning discriminators outperform fixed-kernel discriminators in terms of the sample q…

Fast Adaptation with Linearized Neural Networks

Wesley J. Maddox, Shuai Tang, Pablo Garcia Moreno +2

The inductive biases of trained neural networks are difficult to understand and, consequently, to adapt to new settings. We study the inductive biases of linearizations of neural n…

Variance Reduced Median-of-Means Estimator for Byzantine-Robust Distributed Inference

Jiyuan Tu, Weidong Liu, Xiaojun Mao +1

This paper develops an efficient distributed inference algorithm, which is robust against a moderate fraction of Byzantine nodes, namely arbitrary and possibly adversarial machines…

Have We Learned to Explain?: How Interpretability Methods Can Learn to Encode Predictions in their Interpretations

Neil Jethani, Mukund Sudarshan, Yindalon Aphinyanaphongs +1

While the need for interpretable machine learning has been established, many common approaches are slow, lack fidelity, or hard to evaluate. Amortized explanation methods reduce th…

Self-Regularity of Non-Negative Output Weights for Overparameterized Two-Layer Neural Networks

David Gamarnik, Eren C. Kızıldağ, Ilias Zadik

We consider the problem of finding a two-layer neural network with sigmoid, rectified linear unit (ReLU), or binary step activation functions that "fits" a training data set as acc…

Kernel Interpolation for Scalable Online Gaussian Processes

Samuel Stanton, Wesley J. Maddox, Ian Delbridge +1

Gaussian processes (GPs) provide a gold standard for performance in online settings, such as sample-efficient control and black box optimization, where we need to update a posterio…

Deep Equals Shallow for ReLU Networks in Kernel Regimes

Alberto Bietti, Francis Bach

Deep networks are often considered to be more expressive than shallow ones in terms of approximation. Indeed, certain functions can be approximated by deep networks provably more e…

Why Normalizing Flows Fail to Detect Out-of-Distribution Data

Polina Kirichenko, Pavel Izmailov, Andrew Gordon Wilson

Detecting out-of-distribution (OOD) data is crucial for robust machine learning systems. Normalizing flows are flexible deep generative models that often surprisingly fail to disti…

Global convergence of neuron birth-death dynamics

Grant Rotskoff, Samy Jelassi, Joan Bruna +1

Neural networks with a large number of parameters admit a mean-field description, which has recently served as a theoretical explanation for the favorable training properties of "o…

Support and Invertibility in Domain-Invariant Representations

Fredrik D. Johansson, David Sontag, Rajesh Ranganath

Learning domain-invariant representations has become a popular approach to unsupervised domain adaptation and is often justified by invoking a particular suite of theoretical resul…
