A Minimal ReLU Classifier on Non-Linearly Separable Data: Convergence and Implicit Bias at and beyond the Edge of Stability

Quan Nguyen, Robin Yadav, Param Mody +1

Gradient descent (GD) with large learning rates can successfully optimize neural networks even though classical smoothness-based learning rate conditions are violated. Yet theory f…

Amortized nonmyopic active search via deep imitation learning

Quan Nguyen, Anindya Sarkar, Roman Garnett

Active search formalizes a specialized active learning setting where the goal is to collect members of a rare, valuable class. The state-of-the-art algorithm approximates the optim…

The Mixing Thermodynamics and Local Structure of High-entropy Alloys from Randomly Sampled Ordered Configurations

Andrew Novick, Quan Nguyen, Roman Garnett +2

A general method is presented for modeling high entropy alloys as ensembles of randomly sampled, ordered configurations on a given lattice. Statistical mechanics is applied post ho…

Local Bayesian optimization via maximizing probability of descent

Quan Nguyen, Kaiwen Wu, Jacob R. Gardner +1

Local optimization presents a promising approach to expensive, high-dimensional black-box optimization by sidestepping the need to globally explore the search space. For objective…

Nonmyopic Multiclass Active Search with Diminishing Returns for Diverse Discovery

Quan Nguyen, Roman Garnett

Active search is a setting in adaptive experimental design where we aim to uncover members of rare, valuable class(es) subject to a budget constraint. An important consideration in…

Nonmyopic Multifidelity Active Search

Quan Nguyen, Arghavan Modiri, Roman Garnett

Active search is a learning paradigm where we seek to identify as many members of a rare, valuable class as possible given a labeling budget. Previous work on active search has ass…
