Set Learning for Accurate and Calibrated Models

Lukas Muttenthaler, Robert A. Vandermeulen, Qiuyi Zhang +2

Model overconfidence and poor calibration are common in machine learning and difficult to account for when applying standard empirical risk minimization. In this work, we propose a…

Towards Learning Universal Hyperparameter Optimizers with Transformers

Yutian Chen, Xingyou Song, Chansoo Lee +9

Meta-learning hyperparameter optimization (HPO) algorithms from prior experiments is a promising approach to improve optimization efficiency over objective functions from a similar…

Leveraging Initial Hints for Free in Stochastic Linear Bandits

Ashok Cutkosky, Chris Dann, Abhimanyu Das +2

We study the setting of optimizing with bandit feedback with additional prior knowledge provided to the learner in the form of an initial hint of the optimal action. We present a n…

One Network Fits All? Modular versus Monolithic Task Formulations in Neural Networks

Atish Agarwala, Abhimanyu Das, Brendan Juba +4

Can deep learning solve multiple tasks simultaneously, even when they are unrelated and very different? We investigate how the representations of the underlying tasks affect the ab…

ES-ENAS: Efficient Evolutionary Optimization for Large Hybrid Search Spaces

Xingyou Song, Krzysztof Choromanski, Jack Parker-Holder +8

In this paper, we approach the problem of optimizing blackbox functions over large hybrid search spaces consisting of both combinatorial and continuous parameters. We demonstrate t…
