Can In-Context Learning Support Intrinsic Curiosity?

Eric Elmoznino, Sangnie Bhardwaj, Johannes von Oswald +5

Effective machine learning depends not only on how we model data, but also on what data we choose to collect. While large sequence models have revolutionized data modeling, the pro…

Weight decay induces low-rank attention layers

Seijin Kobayashi, Yassir Akram, Johannes Von Oswald

The effect of regularizers such as weight decay when training deep neural networks is not well understood. We study the influence of weight decay as well as -regularization whe…

Gated recurrent neural networks discover attention

Nicolas Zucchet, Seijin Kobayashi, Yassir Akram +4

Recent architectural developments have enabled recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to reach and even surpass the performance of Transformers on certain sequence modeling tasks. These…

Random initialisations performing above chance and how to find them

Frederik Benzing, Simon Schug, Robert Meier +5

Neural networks trained with stochastic gradient descent (SGD) starting from different random initialisations typically find functionally very similar solutions, raising the questi…

The least-control principle for local learning at equilibrium

Alexander Meulemans, Nicolas Zucchet, Seijin Kobayashi +2

Equilibrium systems are a powerful way to express neural computations. As special cases, they include models of great current interest in both neuroscience and machine learning, su…

A contrastive rule for meta-learning

Nicolas Zucchet, Simon Schug, Johannes von Oswald +2

Humans and other animals are capable of improving their learning performance as they solve related tasks from a given problem domain, to the point of being able to learn from extre…

Posterior Meta-Replay for Continual Learning

Christian Henning, Maria R. Cervera, Francesco D'Angelo +6

Learning a sequence of tasks without access to i.i.d. observations is a widely studied form of continual learning (CL) that remains challenging. In principle, Bayesian learning dir…
