Underspecification Presents Challenges for Credibility in Modern Machine Learning

Alexander D'Amour, Katherine Heller, Dan Moldovan +37

ML models often exhibit unexpectedly poor behavior when they are deployed in real-world domains. We identify underspecification as a key reason for these failures. An ML pipeline i…

Understanding Double Descent Requires a Fine-Grained Bias-Variance Decomposition

Ben Adlam, Jeffrey Pennington

Classical learning theory suggests that the optimal generalization performance of a machine learning model should occur at an intermediate model complexity, with simpler models exh…

Exploring the Uncertainty Properties of Neural Networks' Implicit Priors in the Infinite-Width Limit

Ben Adlam, Jaehoon Lee, Lechao Xiao +2

Modern deep learning models have achieved great success in predictive accuracy for many data modalities. However, their application to many real-world tasks is restricted by poor u…

The Neural Tangent Kernel in High Dimensions: Triple Descent and a Multi-Scale Theory of Generalization

Ben Adlam, Jeffrey Pennington

Modern deep learning models employ considerably more parameters than required to fit the training data. Whereas conventional statistical wisdom suggests such models should drastica…

Cold Posteriors and Aleatoric Uncertainty

Ben Adlam, Jasper Snoek, Samuel L. Smith

Recent work has observed that one can outperform exact inference in Bayesian neural networks by tuning the "temperature" of the posterior on a validation set (the "cold posterior"…

Finite Versus Infinite Neural Networks: an Empirical Study

Jaehoon Lee, Samuel S. Schoenholz, Jeffrey Pennington +4

We perform a careful, thorough, and large scale empirical study of the correspondence between wide neural networks and kernel methods. By doing so, we resolve a variety of open que…
