Gated Information Bottleneck for Generalization in Sequential Environments

Francesco Alesiani, Shujian Yu, Xi Yu

Deep neural networks suffer from poor generalization to unseen environments when the underlying data distribution is different from that in the training set. By learning minimum su…

Measuring Dependence with Matrix-based Entropy Functional

Shujian Yu, Francesco Alesiani, Xi Yu +2

Measuring the dependence of data plays a central role in statistics and machine learning. In this work, we summarize and generalize the main idea of existing information-theoretic…

Bilevel Continual Learning

Ammar Shaker, Francesco Alesiani, Shujian Yu +1

Continual learning (CL) studies the problem of learning a sequence of tasks, one at a time, such that the learning of each new task does not lead to the deterioration in performanc…

Modular-Relatedness for Continual Learning

Ammar Shaker, Shujian Yu, Francesco Alesiani

In this paper, we propose a continual learning (CL) technique that is beneficial to sequential task learners by improving their retained accuracy and reducing catastrophic forgetti…

Learning an Interpretable Graph Structure in Multi-Task Learning

Shujian Yu, Francesco Alesiani, Ammar Shaker +1

We present a novel methodology to jointly perform multi-task learning and infer intrinsic relationship among tasks by an interpretable and sparse graph. Unlike existing multi-task…

Towards Interpretable Multi-Task Learning Using Bilevel Programming

Francesco Alesiani, Shujian Yu, Ammar Shaker +1

Interpretable Multi-Task Learning can be expressed as learning a sparse graph of the task relationship based on the prediction performance of the learned models. Since many natural…
