Learning an Invertible Output Mapping Can Mitigate Simplicity Bias in Neural Networks

Sravanti Addepalli, Anshul Nasery, R. Venkatesh Babu +2

Deep Neural Networks are known to be brittle to even minor distribution shifts compared to the training distribution. While one line of work has demonstrated that Simplicity Bias (…

Online Target Q-learning with Reverse Experience Replay: Efficiently finding the Optimal Policy for Linear MDPs

Naman Agarwal, Syomantak Chaudhuri, Prateek Jain +2

Q-learning is a popular Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithm which is widely used in practice with function approximation (Mnih et al., 2015). In contrast, existing theoretical re…

Sample Efficient Linear Meta-Learning by Alternating Minimization

Kiran Koshy Thekumparampil, Prateek Jain, Praneeth Netrapalli +1

Meta-learning synthesizes and leverages the knowledge from a given set of tasks to rapidly learn new tasks using very little data. Meta-learning of linear regression tasks, where t…

Optimal Regret Algorithm for Pseudo-1d Bandit Convex Optimization

Aadirupa Saha, Nagarajan Natarajan, Praneeth Netrapalli +1

We study online learning with bandit feedback (i.e. learner has access to only zeroth-order oracle) where cost/reward functions $\f_t$ admit a "pseudo-1d" structure, i.e. $\f_t(\w)…

Do Input Gradients Highlight Discriminative Features?

Harshay Shah, Prateek Jain, Praneeth Netrapalli

Post-hoc gradient-based interpretability methods [Simonyan et al., 2013, Smilkov et al., 2017] that provide instance-specific explanations of model predictions are often based on a…
