When Priors Backfire: On the Vulnerability of Unlearnable Examples to Pretraining
Zhihao Li, Gezheng Xu, Jiale Cai +5
Unlearnable Examples (UEs) serve as a data protection strategy that generates imperceptible perturbations to mislead models into learning spurious correlations instead of underlyin…
Event-Driven Online Vertical Federated Learning
Ganyu Wang, Boyu Wang, Bin Gu +1
Online learning is more adaptable to real-world scenarios in Vertical Federated Learning (VFL) compared to offline learning. However, integrating online learning into VFL presents…
Enhancing Generalization in Chain of Thought Reasoning for Smaller Models
Maxwell J. Yin, Dingyi Jiang, Yongbing Chen +2
Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning in smaller language models is a challenging natural language process problem yet highly desirable in many real-life applications. Existing CoT know…
Leveraging Group Classification with Descending Soft Labeling for Deep Imbalanced Regression
Ruizhi Pu, Gezheng Xu, Ruiyi Fang +3
Deep imbalanced regression (DIR), where the target values have a highly skewed distribution and are also continuous, is an intriguing yet under-explored problem in machine learning…
