Reinforcement Learning with Efficient Active Feature Acquisition
Haiyan Yin, Yingzhen Li, Sinno Jialin Pan +2
Solving real-life sequential decision making problems under partial observability involves an exploration-exploitation problem. To be successful, an agent needs to efficiently gath…
A Study on Efficiency in Continual Learning Inspired by Human Learning
Philip J. Ball, Yingzhen Li, Angus Lamb +1
Humans are efficient continual learning systems; we continually learn new skills from birth with finite cells and resources. Our learning is highly optimized both in terms of capac…
Learning Sparse Sentence Encoding without Supervision: An Exploration of Sparsity in Variational Autoencoders
Victor Prokhorov, Yingzhen Li, Ehsan Shareghi +1
It has been long known that sparsity is an effective inductive bias for learning efficient representation of data in vectors with fixed dimensionality, and it has been explored in…
Interpreting Spatially Infinite Generative Models
Chaochao Lu, Richard E. Turner, Yingzhen Li +1
Traditional deep generative models of images and other spatial modalities can only generate fixed sized outputs. The generated images have exactly the same resolution as the traini…
Meta-Learning Divergences of Variational Inference
Ruqi Zhang, Yingzhen Li, Christopher De Sa +2
Variational inference (VI) plays an essential role in approximate Bayesian inference due to its computational efficiency and broad applicability. Crucial to the performance of VI i…
Sliced Kernelized Stein Discrepancy
Wenbo Gong, Yingzhen Li, José Miguel Hernández-Lobato
Kernelized Stein discrepancy (KSD), though being extensively used in goodness-of-fit tests and model learning, suffers from the curse-of-dimensionality. We address this issue by pr…
A Causal View on Robustness of Neural Networks
Cheng Zhang, Kun Zhang, Yingzhen Li
We present a causal view on the robustness of neural networks against input manipulations, which applies not only to traditional classification tasks but also to general measuremen…
Inverse Graphics GAN: Learning to Generate 3D Shapes from Unstructured 2D Data
Sebastian Lunz, Yingzhen Li, Andrew Fitzgibbon +1
Recent work has shown the ability to learn generative models for 3D shapes from only unstructured 2D images. However, training such models requires differentiating through the rast…
