Expressive Sign Equivariant Networks for Spectral Geometric Learning

Derek Lim, Joshua Robinson, Stefanie Jegelka +1

Recent work has shown the utility of developing machine learning models that respect the structure and symmetries of eigenvectors. These works promote sign invariance, since for an…

On the Stability of Expressive Positional Encodings for Graphs

Yinan Huang, William Lu, Joshua Robinson +4

Designing effective positional encodings for graphs is key to building powerful graph transformers and enhancing message-passing graph neural networks. Although widespread, using L…

Structuring Representation Geometry with Rotationally Equivariant Contrastive Learning

Sharut Gupta, Joshua Robinson, Derek Lim +2

Self-supervised learning converts raw perceptual data such as images to a compact space where simple Euclidean distances measure meaningful variations in data. In this paper, we ex…

A simple, efficient and scalable contrastive masked autoencoder for learning visual representations

Shlok Mishra, Joshua Robinson, Huiwen Chang +4

We introduce CAN, a simple, efficient and scalable method for self-supervised learning of visual representations. Our framework is a minimal and conceptually clean synthesis of (C)…

Leveraging Large Language Models for Multiple Choice Question Answering

Joshua Robinson, Christopher Michael Rytting, David Wingate

While large language models (LLMs) like GPT-3 have achieved impressive results on multiple choice question answering (MCQA) tasks in the zero, one, and few-shot settings, they gene…

Neural Set Function Extensions: Learning with Discrete Functions in High Dimensions

Nikolaos Karalias, Joshua Robinson, Andreas Loukas +1

Integrating functions on discrete domains into neural networks is key to developing their capability to reason about discrete objects. But, discrete domains are (1) not naturally a…

An Information-theoretic Approach to Prompt Engineering Without Ground Truth Labels

Taylor Sorensen, Joshua Robinson, Christopher Michael Rytting +6

Pre-trained language models derive substantial linguistic and factual knowledge from the massive corpora on which they are trained, and prompt engineering seeks to align these mode…

Sign and Basis Invariant Networks for Spectral Graph Representation Learning

Derek Lim, Joshua Robinson, Lingxiao Zhao +4

We introduce SignNet and BasisNet -- new neural architectures that are invariant to two key symmetries displayed by eigenvectors: (i) sign flips, since if is an eigenvector the…

Can contrastive learning avoid shortcut solutions?

Joshua Robinson, Li Sun, Ke Yu +3

The generalization of representations learned via contrastive learning depends crucially on what features of the data are extracted. However, we observe that the contrastive loss d…

Contrastive Learning with Hard Negative Samples

Joshua Robinson, Ching-Yao Chuang, Suvrit Sra +1

How can you sample good negative examples for contrastive learning? We argue that, as with metric learning, contrastive learning of representations benefits from hard negative samp…

Debiased Contrastive Learning

Ching-Yao Chuang, Joshua Robinson, Lin Yen-Chen +2

A prominent technique for self-supervised representation learning has been to contrast semantically similar and dissimilar pairs of samples. Without access to labels, dissimilar (n…

Strength from Weakness: Fast Learning Using Weak Supervision

Joshua Robinson, Stefanie Jegelka, Suvrit Sra

We study generalization properties of weakly supervised learning. That is, learning where only a few "strong" labels (the actual target of our prediction) are present but many more…

Flexible Modeling of Diversity with Strongly Log-Concave Distributions

Joshua Robinson, Suvrit Sra, Stefanie Jegelka

Strongly log-concave (SLC) distributions are a rich class of discrete probability distributions over subsets of some ground set. They are strictly more general than strongly Raylei…
