Role of Human-AI Interaction in Selective Prediction

Elizabeth Bondi, Raphael Koster, Hannah Sheahan +5

Recent work has shown the potential benefit of selective prediction systems that can learn to defer to a human when the predictions of the AI are unreliable, particularly to improv…

Acquisition of Chess Knowledge in AlphaZero

Thomas McGrath, Andrei Kapishnikov, Nenad Tomašev +5

What is learned by sophisticated neural network agents such as AlphaZero? This question is of both scientific and practical interest. If the representations of strong neural networ…

Assessing Game Balance with AlphaZero: Exploring Alternative Rule Sets in Chess

Nenad Tomašev, Ulrich Paquet, Demis Hassabis +1

It is non-trivial to design engaging and balanced sets of game rules. Modern chess has evolved over centuries, but without a similar recourse to history, the consequences of rule c…

Unsupervised Separation of Dynamics from Pixels

Silvia Chiappa, Ulrich Paquet

We present an approach to learn the dynamics of multiple objects from image sequences in an unsupervised way. We introduce a probabilistic model that first generate noisy positions…

A Factorial Mixture Prior for Compositional Deep Generative Models

Ulrich Paquet, Sumedh K. Ghaisas, Olivier Tieleman

We assume that a high-dimensional datum, like an image, is a compositional expression of a set of properties, with a complicated non-linear relationship between the datum and its p…

An Efficient Implementation of Riemannian Manifold Hamiltonian Monte Carlo for Gaussian Process Models

Ulrich Paquet, Marco Fraccaro

This technical report presents pseudo-code for a Riemannian manifold Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (RMHMC) method to efficiently simulate samples from -dimensional posterior distribut…

Recurrent Relational Networks

Rasmus Berg Palm, Ulrich Paquet, Ole Winther

This paper is concerned with learning to solve tasks that require a chain of interdependent steps of relational inference, like answering complex questions about the relationships…

A Disentangled Recognition and Nonlinear Dynamics Model for Unsupervised Learning

Marco Fraccaro, Simon Kamronn, Ulrich Paquet +1

This paper takes a step towards temporal reasoning in a dynamically changing video, not in the pixel space that constitutes its frames, but in a latent space that describes the non…

The Bayesian Low-Rank Determinantal Point Process Mixture Model

Mike Gartrell, Ulrich Paquet, Noam Koenigstein

Determinantal point processes (DPPs) are an elegant model for encoding probabilities over subsets, such as shopping baskets, of a ground set, such as an item catalog. They are usef…

Sequential Neural Models with Stochastic Layers

Marco Fraccaro, Søren Kaae Sønderby, Ulrich Paquet +1

How can we efficiently propagate uncertainty in a latent state representation with recurrent neural networks? This paper introduces stochastic recurrent neural networks which glue…

An Adaptive Resample-Move Algorithm for Estimating Normalizing Constants

Marco Fraccaro, Ulrich Paquet, Ole Winther

The estimation of normalizing constants is a fundamental step in probabilistic model comparison. Sequential Monte Carlo methods may be used for this task and have the advantage of…

Low-Rank Factorization of Determinantal Point Processes for Recommendation

Mike Gartrell, Ulrich Paquet, Noam Koenigstein

Determinantal point processes (DPPs) have garnered attention as an elegant probabilistic model of set diversity. They are useful for a number of subset selection tasks, including p…

On the Convergence of Stochastic Variational Inference in Bayesian Networks

Ulrich Paquet

We highlight a pitfall when applying stochastic variational inference to general Bayesian networks. For global random variables approximated by an exponential family distribution,…

Scalable Bayesian Modelling of Paired Symbols

Ulrich Paquet, Noam Koenigstein, Ole Winther

We present a novel, scalable and Bayesian approach to modelling the occurrence of pairs of symbols (i,j) drawn from a large vocabulary. Observed pairs are assumed to be generated b…

One-class Collaborative Filtering with Random Graphs: Annotated Version

Ulrich Paquet, Noam Koenigstein

The bane of one-class collaborative filtering is interpreting and modelling the latent signal from the missing class. In this paper we present a novel Bayesian generative model for…

Perturbative Corrections for Approximate Inference in Gaussian Latent Variable Models

Manfred Opper, Ulrich Paquet, Ole Winther

Expectation Propagation (EP) provides a framework for approximate inference. When the model under consideration is over a latent Gaussian field, with the approximation being Gaussi…
