Celo2: Towards Learned Optimization Free Lunch

Abhinav Moudgil, Boris Knyazev, Eugene Belilovsky

Learned optimizers are powerful alternatives to hand-designed update rules like Adam, yet they have seen limited practical adoption since they often fail to meta-generalize beyond…

Accelerating Training with Neuron Interaction and Nowcasting Networks

Boris Knyazev, Abhinav Moudgil, Guillaume Lajoie +2

Neural network training can be accelerated when a learnable update rule is used in lieu of classic adaptive optimizers (e.g. Adam). However, learnable update rules can be costly an…

SOAT: A Scene- and Object-Aware Transformer for Vision-and-Language Navigation

Abhinav Moudgil, Arjun Majumdar, Harsh Agrawal +2

Natural language instructions for visual navigation often use scene descriptions (e.g., "bedroom") and object references (e.g., "green chairs") to provide a breadcrumb trail to a g…

Contrast and Classify: Training Robust VQA Models

Yash Kant, Abhinav Moudgil, Dhruv Batra +2

Recent Visual Question Answering (VQA) models have shown impressive performance on the VQA benchmark but remain sensitive to small linguistic variations in input questions. Existin…
