Handling Black Swan Events in Deep Learning with Diversely Extrapolated Neural Networks
By virtue of their expressive power, neural networks (NNs) are well suited to fitting large, complex datasets, yet they are also known to
… (voir plus)produce similar predictions for points outside the training distribution.
As such, they are, like humans, under the influence of the Black Swan theory: models tend to be extremely "surprised" by rare events, leading to potentially disastrous consequences, while justifying these same events in hindsight.
To avoid this pitfall, we introduce DENN, an ensemble approach building a set of Diversely Extrapolated Neural Networks that fits the training data and is able to generalize more diversely when extrapolating to novel data points.
This leads DENN to output highly uncertain predictions for unexpected inputs.
We achieve this by adding a diversity term in the loss function used to train the model, computed at specific inputs.
We first illustrate the usefulness of the method on a low-dimensional regression problem.
Then, we show how the loss can be adapted to tackle anomaly detection during classification, as well as safe imitation learning problems.

When an agent has limited information on its environment, the suboptimality of an RL algorithm can be decomposed into the sum of two terms: … (voir plus)a term related to an asymptotic bias (suboptimality with unlimited data) and a term due to overfitting (additional suboptimality due to limited data). In the context of reinforcement learning with partial observability, this paper provides an analysis of the tradeoff between these two error sources. In particular, our theoretical analysis formally characterizes how a smaller state representation increases the asymptotic bias while decreasing the risk of overfitting.

Visual referring expression recognition is a challenging task that requires natural language understanding in the context of an image. We cr… (voir plus)itically examine RefCOCOg, a standard benchmark for this task, using a human study and show that 83.7% of test instances do not require reasoning on linguistic structure, i.e., words are enough to identify the target object, the word order doesn’t matter. To measure the true progress of existing models, we split the test set into two sets, one which requires reasoning on linguistic structure and the other which doesn’t. Additionally, we create an out-of-distribution dataset Ref-Adv by asking crowdworkers to perturb in-domain examples such that the target object changes. Using these datasets, we empirically show that existing methods fail to exploit linguistic structure and are 12% to 23% lower in performance than the established progress for this task. We also propose two methods, one based on contrastive learning and the other based on multi-task learning, to increase the robustness of ViLBERT, the current state-of-the-art model for this task. Our datasets are publicly available at https://github.com/aws/aws-refcocog-adv.

Domain adaptation (DA) is a technique that transfers predictive models trained on a labeled source domain to an unlabeled target domain, wit… (voir plus)h the core difficulty of resolving distributional shift between domains. Currently, most popular DA algorithms are based on distributional matching (DM). However in practice, realistic domain shifts (RDS) may violate their basic assumptions and as a result these methods will fail. In this paper, in order to devise robust DA algorithms, we first systematically analyze the limitations of DM based methods, and then build new benchmarks with more realistic domain shifts to evaluate the well-accepted DM methods. We further propose InstaPBM, a novel Instance-based Predictive Behavior Matching method for robust DA. Extensive experiments on both conventional and RDS benchmarks demonstrate both the limitations of DM methods and the efficacy of InstaPBM: Compared with the best baselines, InstaPBM improves the classification accuracy respectively by
Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) in general and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in particular are state-of-the-art in numerous computer visi… (voir plus)on tasks such as object classification and detection. However, the large amount of parameters they contain leads to a high computational complexity and strongly limits their usability in budget-constrained devices such as embedded devices. In this paper, we propose a combination of a pruning technique and a quantization scheme that effectively reduce the complexity and memory usage of convolutional layers of CNNs, by replacing the complex convolutional operation by a low-cost multiplexer. We perform experiments on CIFAR10, CIFAR100 and SVHN datasets and show that the proposed method achieves almost state-of-the-art accuracy, while drastically reducing the computational and memory footprints compared to the baselines. We also propose an efficient hardware architecture, implemented on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), to accelerate inference, which works as a pipeline and accommodates multiple layers working at the same time to speed up the inference process. In contrast with most proposed approaches which have used external memory or software defined memory controllers, our work is based on algorithmic optimization and full-hardware design, enabling a direct, on-chip memory implementation of a DNN while keeping close to state of the art accuracy.
