Generalizing Hamiltonian Monte Carlo with Neural Networks

Daniel Levy, Matthew D. Hoffman, Jascha Sohl-Dickstein

We present a general-purpose method to train Markov chain Monte Carlo kernels, parameterized by deep neural networks, that converge and mix quickly to their target distribution. Ou…

Deep Neural Networks as Gaussian Processes

Jaehoon Lee, Yasaman Bahri, Roman Novak +3

It has long been known that a single-layer fully-connected neural network with an i.i.d. prior over its parameters is equivalent to a Gaussian process (GP), in the limit of infinit…

A Correspondence Between Random Neural Networks and Statistical Field Theory

Samuel S. Schoenholz, Jeffrey Pennington, Jascha Sohl-Dickstein

A number of recent papers have provided evidence that practical design questions about neural networks may be tackled theoretically by studying the behavior of random networks. How…

SVCCA: Singular Vector Canonical Correlation Analysis for Deep Learning Dynamics and Interpretability

Maithra Raghu, Justin Gilmer, Jason Yosinski +1

We propose a new technique, Singular Vector Canonical Correlation Analysis (SVCCA), a tool for quickly comparing two representations in a way that is both invariant to affine trans…

REBAR: Low-variance, unbiased gradient estimates for discrete latent variable models

George Tucker, Andriy Mnih, Chris J. Maddison +2

Learning in models with discrete latent variables is challenging due to high variance gradient estimators. Generally, approaches have relied on control variates to reduce the varia…

Learned Optimizers that Scale and Generalize

Olga Wichrowska, Niru Maheswaranathan, Matthew W. Hoffman +4

Learning to learn has emerged as an important direction for achieving artificial intelligence. Two of the primary barriers to its adoption are an inability to scale to larger probl…
