Counterdiabatic Hamiltonian Monte Carlo

Reuben Cohn-Gordon, Uroš Seljak, Dries Sels

Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) is a state of the art method for sampling from distributions with differentiable densities, but can converge slowly when applied to challenging multim…

Machine-Learned Sampling of Conditioned Path Measures

Qijia Jiang, Reuben Cohn-Gordon

We propose algorithms for sampling from posterior path measures under a general prior process. This leverages ideas from (1) controlled equilibrium dyn…

Metropolis Adjusted Microcanonical Hamiltonian Monte Carlo

Jakob Robnik, Reuben Cohn-Gordon, Uroš Seljak

Sampling from high dimensional distributions is a computational bottleneck in many scientific applications. Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC), and in particular the No-U-Turn Sampler (…

Practical and Scalable Hamiltonian Monte Carlo Without the Metropolis Test

Jakob Robnik, Reuben Cohn-Gordon, Uroš Seljak

Hamiltonian Monte Carlo and underdamped Langevin Monte Carlo are leading methods for sampling from high-dimensional distributions with differentiable densities. Both rely on numeri…

BlackJAX: Composable Bayesian inference in JAX

Alberto Cabezas, Adrien Corenflos, Junpeng Lao +19

BlackJAX is a library implementing sampling and variational inference algorithms commonly used in Bayesian computation. It is designed for ease of use, speed, and modularity by tak…

Pragmatic Issue-Sensitive Image Captioning

Allen Nie, Reuben Cohn-Gordon, Christopher Potts

Image captioning systems have recently improved dramatically, but they still tend to produce captions that are insensitive to the communicative goals that captions should meet. To…

Lexical Learning as an Online Optimal Experiment: Building Efficient Search Engines through Human-Machine Collaboration

Jacopo Tagliabue, Reuben Cohn-Gordon

Information retrieval (IR) systems need to constantly update their knowledge as target objects and user queries change over time. Due to the power-law nature of linguistic data, le…

Communication-based Evaluation for Natural Language Generation

Benjamin Newman, Reuben Cohn-Gordon, Christopher Potts

Natural language generation (NLG) systems are commonly evaluated using n-gram overlap measures (e.g. BLEU, ROUGE). These measures do not directly capture semantics or speaker inten…

Lost in Machine Translation: A Method to Reduce Meaning Loss

Reuben Cohn-Gordon, Noah Goodman

A desideratum of high-quality translation systems is that they preserve meaning, in the sense that two sentences with different meanings should not translate to one and the same se…

An Incremental Iterated Response Model of Pragmatics

Reuben Cohn-Gordon, Noah D. Goodman, Christopher Potts

Recent Iterated Response (IR) models of pragmatics conceptualize language use as a recursive process in which agents reason about each other to increase communicative efficiency. T…

Pragmatically Informative Image Captioning with Character-Level Inference

Reuben Cohn-Gordon, Noah Goodman, Christopher Potts

We combine a neural image captioner with a Rational Speech Acts (RSA) model to make a system that is pragmatically informative: its objective is to produce captions that are not me…
