Toward Sustainable Continual Learning: Detection and Knowledge Repurposing of Similar Tasks
Sijia Wang, Yoojin Choi, Junya Chen +2
Most existing works on continual learning (CL) focus on overcoming the catastrophic forgetting (CF) problem, with dynamic models and replay methods performing exceptionally well. H…
Finite-Time Consensus Learning for Decentralized Optimization with Nonlinear Gossiping
Junya Chen, Sijia Wang, Lawrence Carin +1
Distributed learning has become an integral tool for scaling up machine learning and addressing the growing need for data privacy. Although more robust to the network topology, dec…
Variational Inference with Holder Bounds
Junya Chen, Danni Lu, Zidi Xiu +3
The recent introduction of thermodynamic integration techniques has provided a new framework for understanding and improving variational inference (VI). In this work, we present a…
Simpler, Faster, Stronger: Breaking The log-K Curse On Contrastive Learners With FlatNCE
Junya Chen, Zhe Gan, Xuan Li +10
InfoNCE-based contrastive representation learners, such as SimCLR, have been tremendously successful in recent years. However, these contrastive schemes are notoriously resource de…
Tight Mutual Information Estimation With Contrastive Fenchel-Legendre Optimization
Qing Guo, Junya Chen, Dong Wang +6
Successful applications of InfoNCE and its variants have popularized the use of contrastive variational mutual information (MI) estimators in machine learning. While featuring supe…
Supercharging Imbalanced Data Learning With Energy-based Contrastive Representation Transfer
Zidi Xiu, Junya Chen, Ricardo Henao +3
Dealing with severe class imbalance poses a major challenge for real-world applications, especially when the accurate classification and generalization of minority classes is of pr…
GO Hessian for Expectation-Based Objectives
Yulai Cong, Miaoyun Zhao, Jianqiao Li +2
An unbiased low-variance gradient estimator, termed GO gradient, was proposed recently for expectation-based objectives $\mathbb{E}_{q_{\boldsymbolγ}(\boldsymbol{y})} [f(\boldsymbo…
