Resolution-robust Large Mask Inpainting with Fourier Convolutions (w/ Author Interview) 05.01.2022

#lama #inpainting #deeplearning At the end of the video is an interview with the paper authors! LaMa is a system that is amazing at removing foreground objects from images, especially when those objects cover a large part of the image itself. LaMa is specifically trained to reconstruct large masked areas and includes global information throughout its forward propagation by using Fourier Convolutio...

Sparse is Enough in Scaling Transformers (aka Terraformer) | ML Research Paper Explained 02.12.2021

#scalingtransformers #terraformer #sparsity Transformers keep pushing the state of the art in language and other domains, mainly due to their ability to scale to ever more parameters. However, this scaling has made it prohibitively expensive to run a lot of inference requests against a Transformer, both in terms of compute and memory requirements. Scaling Transformers are a new kind of architectur...

ExT5: Towards Extreme Multi-Task Scaling for Transfer Learning (Paper Explained) 01.12.2021

#ext5 #transferlearning #exmix The T5 model has been a staple for NLP research for the last years. Both its size and its approach to formulate all NLP tasks as prompt-based language modeling make it a convenient choice to tackle new challenges and provides a strong baseline for most current datasets. ExT5 pushes T5 to its limits by pre-training not only on self-supervised mask filling, but also at...

Implicit MLE: Backpropagating Through Discrete Exponential Family Distributions (Paper Explained) 01.12.2021

#imle #backpropagation #discrete Backpropagation is the workhorse of deep learning, but unfortunately, it only works for continuous functions that are amenable to the chain rule of differentiation. Since discrete algorithms have no continuous derivative, deep networks with such algorithms as part of them cannot be effectively trained using backpropagation. This paper presents a method to incorpora...

Parameter Prediction for Unseen Deep Architectures (w/ First Author Boris Knyazev) 25.11.2021

#deeplearning #neuralarchitecturesearch #metalearning Deep Neural Networks are usually trained from a given parameter initialization using SGD until convergence at a local optimum. This paper goes a different route: Given a novel network architecture for a known dataset, can we predict the final network parameters without ever training them? The authors build a Graph-Hypernetwork and train on a no...

Learning Rate Grafting: Transferability of Optimizer Tuning (Machine Learning Research Paper Reivew) 22.11.2021

#grafting #adam #sgd The last years in deep learning research have given rise to a plethora of different optimization algorithms, such as SGD, AdaGrad, Adam, LARS, LAMB, etc. which all claim to have their special peculiarities and advantages. In general, all algorithms modify two major things: The (implicit) learning rate schedule, and a correction to the gradient direction. This paper introduces...

Gradients are Not All You Need (Machine Learning Research Paper Explained) 22.11.2021

#deeplearning #backpropagation #simulation More and more systems are made differentiable, which means that accurate gradients of these systems' dynamics can be computed exactly. While this development has led to a lot of advances, there are also distinct situations where backpropagation can be a very bad idea. This paper characterizes a few such systems in the domain of iterated dynamical systems,...

EfficientZero: Mastering Atari Games with Limited Data (Machine Learning Research Paper Explained) 05.11.2021

#efficientzero #muzero #atari Reinforcement Learning methods are notoriously data-hungry. Notably, MuZero learns a latent world model just from scalar feedback of reward- and policy-predictions, and therefore relies on scale to perform well. However, most RL algorithms fail when presented with very little data. EfficientZero makes several improvements over MuZero that allows it to learn from aston...

Grokking: Generalization beyond Overfitting on small algorithmic datasets (Paper Explained) 11.10.2021

#grokking #openai #deeplearning Grokking is a phenomenon when a neural network suddenly learns a pattern in the dataset and jumps from random chance generalization to perfect generalization very suddenly. This paper demonstrates grokking on small algorithmic datasets where a network has to fill in binary tables. Interestingly, the learned latent spaces show an emergence of the underlying binary op...
