Multi-Head Adapter Routing for Data-Efficient Fine-Tuning
Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) methods can adapt large language models to downstream tasks by training a small amount of newly add… (voir plus)ed parameters. In multi-task settings, PEFT adapters typically train on each task independently, inhibiting transfer across tasks, or on the concatenation of all tasks, which can lead to negative interference. To address this, Polytropon [Ponti et al., 2022] jointly learns an inventory of PEFT adapters and a routing function to share variable-size sets of adapters across tasks. Subsequently, adapters can be re-combined and fine-tuned on novel tasks even with limited data. In this paper, we investigate to what extent the ability to control which adapters are active for each task leads to sample-efficient generalization. Thus, we propose less expressive variants where we perform weighted averaging of the adapters before few-shot adaptation ( Poly - µ ) instead of learning a routing function. Moreover, we introduce more expressive variants where finer-grained task–adapter allocation is learned through a multi-head routing function ( Poly - S ). We test these variants on three separate benchmarks for multi-task learning. We find that Poly - S achieves gains on all three (up to 5.3 points on average) over strong baselines, while incurring a negligible additional cost in parameter count. In particular, we find that instruction tuning, where models are fully fine-tuned on natural language instructions for each task, is inferior to modular methods such as Polytropon and our proposed variants.

Finally, we show that our adapted PLM also improves the zero-shot cross-lingual transfer abilities of parameter efficient fine-tuning methods.

Peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading is a novel paradigm for decentralised energy market designs. In this paper, we investigate the external P2P energy trading problem and internal energy conversion problem within interconnected residential, commercial and industrial MEMGs. These two problems are complex decision-making problems with enormous high-dimensional data and uncertainty, so a multi-agent deep reinforcement learning approach combining the multi-agent actor-critic algorithm with the twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient algorithm is proposed. The proposed approach can handle the high-dimensional continuous action space and aligns with the nature of P2P energy trading with multiple MEMGs. Simulation results based on three real-world MG datasets show that the proposed approach significantly reduces each MG’s average hourly operation cost. The impact of carbon tax pricing is also considered.

This paper offers a methodological contribution at the intersection of machine learning and operations research. Namely, we propose a method… (voir plus)ology to quickly predict expected tactical descriptions of operational solutions (TDOSs). The problem we address occurs in the context of two-stage stochastic programming, where the second stage is demanding computationally. We aim to predict at a high speed the expected TDOS associated with the second-stage problem, conditionally on the first-stage variables. This may be used in support of the solution to the overall two-stage problem by avoiding the online generation of multiple second-stage scenarios and solutions. We formulate the tactical prediction problem as a stochastic optimal prediction program, whose solution we approximate with supervised machine learning. The training data set consists of a large number of deterministic operational problems generated by controlled probabilistic sampling. The labels are computed based on solutions to these problems (solved independently and offline), employing appropriate aggregation and subselection methods to address uncertainty. Results on our motivating application on load planning for rail transportation show that deep learning models produce accurate predictions in very short computing time (milliseconds or less). The predictive accuracy is close to the lower bounds calculated based on sample average approximation of the stochastic prediction programs.
We present a framework for automatically structuring and training fast, approximate, deep neural surrogates of stochastic simulators. Unlike… (voir plus) traditional approaches to surrogate modeling, our surrogates retain the interpretable structure and control flow of the reference simulator. Our surrogates target stochastic simulators where the number of random variables itself can be stochastic and potentially unbounded. Our framework further enables an automatic replacement of the reference simulator with the surrogate when undertaking amortized inference. The fidelity and speed of our surrogates allow for both faster stochastic simulation and accurate and substantially faster posterior inference. Using an illustrative yet non-trivial example we show our surrogates' ability to accurately model a probabilistic program with an unbounded number of random variables. We then proceed with an example that shows our surrogates are able to accurately model a complex structure like an unbounded stack in a program synthesis example. We further demonstrate how our surrogate modeling technique makes amortized inference in complex black-box simulators an order of magnitude faster. Specifically, we do simulator-based materials quality testing, inferring safety-critical latent internal temperature profiles of composite materials undergoing curing.
In the main tables of the paper, we did not include the performances of α-TIM in the standard balanced setting. Here, we emphasize that α-… (voir plus)TIM is a generalization of TIM [1] as when α → 1 (i.e., the α-entropies tend to the Shannon entropies), α-TIM tends to TIM. Therefore, in the standard setting, where optimal hyper-parameter α is obtained over validation tasks that are balanced (as in the standard validation tasks of the original TIM and the other existing methods), the performance of α-TIM is the same as TIM. When α is tuned on balanced validation tasks, we obtain an optimal value of α very close to 1, and our α-mutual information approaches the standard mutual information. When the validation tasks are uniformly random, as in our new setting and in the validation plots we provided in the main figure, one can see that the performance of α-TIM remains competitive when we tend to balanced testing tasks (i.e., when a is increasing), but is significantly better than TIM when we tend to uniformly-random testing tasks (a = 1). These results illustrate the flexibility of α-divergences, and are in line with the technical analysis provided in the main paper.

Graph Transformers (GTs) have gained popularity in the field of graph representation learning with a variety of recent publications but they lack a common foundation about what constitutes a good positional or structural encoding, and what differentiates them.

Reinforcement learning (RL) agents need to be robust to variations in safety-critical environments. While system identification methods prov… (voir plus)ide a way to infer the variation from online experience, they can fail in settings where fast identification is not possible. Another dominant approach is robust RL which produces a policy that can handle worst-case scenarios, but these methods are generally designed to achieve robustness to a single uncertainty set that must be specified at train time. Towards a more general solution, we formulate the multi-set robustness problem to learn a policy robust to different perturbation sets. We then design an algorithm that enjoys the benefits of both system identification and robust RL: it reduces uncertainty where possible given a few interactions, but can still act robustly with respect to the remaining uncertainty. On a diverse set of control tasks, our approach demonstrates improved worst-case performance on new environments compared to prior methods based on system identification and on robust RL alone.
