Budgeting Counterfactual for Offline RL

Yao Liu, Pratik Chaudhari, Rasool Fakoor

The main challenge of offline reinforcement learning, where data is limited, arises from a sequence of counterfactual reasoning dilemmas within the realm of potential actions: What…

Taming AI Bots: Controllability of Neural States in Large Language Models

Stefano Soatto, Paulo Tabuada, Pratik Chaudhari +1

We tackle the question of whether an agent can, by suitable choice of prompts, control an AI bot to any state. To that end, we first introduce a formal definition of ``meaning'' th…

Learning Capacity: A Measure of the Effective Dimensionality of a Model

Daiwei Chen, Wei-Kai Chang, Pratik Chaudhari

We use a formal correspondence between thermodynamics and inference, where the number of samples can be thought of as the inverse temperature, to study a quantity called ``learning…

The Training Process of Many Deep Networks Explores the Same Low-Dimensional Manifold

Jialin Mao, Itay Griniasty, Han Kheng Teoh +5

We develop information-geometric techniques to analyze the trajectories of the predictions of deep networks during training. By examining the underlying high-dimensional probabilis…

Fast Diffusion Probabilistic Model Sampling through the lens of Backward Error Analysis

Yansong Gao, Zhihong Pan, Xin Zhou +2

Denoising diffusion probabilistic models (DDPMs) are a class of powerful generative models. The past few years have witnessed the great success of DDPMs in generating high-fidelity…

Mesh Strikes Back: Fast and Efficient Human Reconstruction from RGB videos

Rohit Jena, Pratik Chaudhari, James Gee +3

Human reconstruction and synthesis from monocular RGB videos is a challenging problem due to clothing, occlusion, texture discontinuities and sharpness, and framespecific pose chan…
