Iterative Amortized Inference: Unifying In-Context Learning and Learned Optimizers
Sarthak Mittal, Divyat Mahajan, Guillaume Lajoie +1
Modern learning systems increasingly rely on amortized learning - the idea of reusing computation or inductive biases shared across tasks to enable rapid generalization to novel pr…
Recursive Self-Aggregation Unlocks Deep Thinking in Large Language Models
Siddarth Venkatraman, Vineet Jain, Sarthak Mittal +9
Test-time scaling methods improve the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) by increasing the amount of compute used during inference to make a prediction. Inference-time co…
Next-Token Prediction Should be Ambiguity-Sensitive: A Meta-Learning Perspective
Leo Gagnon, Eric Elmoznino, Sarthak Mittal +4
The rapid adaptation ability of auto-regressive foundation models is often attributed to the diversity of their pre-training data. This is because, from a Bayesian standpoint, mini…
MesaNet: Sequence Modeling by Locally Optimal Test-Time Training
Johannes von Oswald, Nino Scherrer, Seijin Kobayashi +14
Sequence modeling is currently dominated by causal transformer architectures that use softmax self-attention. Although widely adopted, transformers require scaling memory and compu…
In-Context Parametric Inference: Point or Distribution Estimators?
Sarthak Mittal, Yoshua Bengio, Nikolay Malkin +1
Bayesian and frequentist inference are two fundamental paradigms in statistical estimation. Bayesian methods treat hypotheses as random variables, incorporating priors and updating…
Amortized In-Context Bayesian Posterior Estimation
Sarthak Mittal, Niels Leif Bracher, Guillaume Lajoie +2
Bayesian inference provides a natural way of incorporating prior beliefs and assigning a probability measure to the space of hypotheses. Current solutions rely on iterative routine…
