Understanding the bias-variance tradeoff of Bregman divergences
Ben Adlam, Neha Gupta, Zelda Mariet +1
This paper builds upon the work of Pfau (2013), which generalized the bias variance tradeoff to any Bregman divergence loss function. Pfau (2013) showed that for Bregman divergence…
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"…
Investigating Under and Overfitting in Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Networks
Ben Adlam, Charles Weill, Amol Kapoor
We investigate under and overfitting in Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), using discriminators unseen by the generator to measure generalization. We find that the model capac…
