In sparse-view Computed Tomography (CT), only a small number of projection images are taken around the object, and sinogram interpolation method has a significant impact on final image quality. When the amount of sparsity (the amount of missing views in sinogram data) is not high, conventional interpolation methods hav…
Autoencoders provide a powerful framework for learning compressed representations by encoding all of the information needed to reconstruct a data point in a latent code. In some cases, autoencoders can "interpolate": By decoding the convex combination of the latent codes for two datapoints, the autoencoder can produce …
We introduce a new structured kernel interpolation (SKI) framework, which generalises and unifies inducing point methods for scalable Gaussian processes (GPs). SKI methods produce kernel approximations for fast computations through kernel interpolation. The SKI framework clarifies how the quality of an inducing point a…

result Establishes the first learning rates of underparameterized DCNNs and shows how adding layers can create interpolating DCNNs with good learning rates.
In order to generate novel 3D shapes with machine learning, one must allow for interpolation. The typical approach for incorporating this creative process is to interpolate in a learned latent space so as to avoid the problem of generating unrealistic instances by exploiting the model's learned structure. The process o…

Exploiting the deep generative model's remarkable ability of learning the data-manifold structure, some recent researches proposed a geometric data interpolation method based on the geodesic curves on the learned data-manifold. However, this interpolation method often gives poor results due to a topological difference …
We show that learning methods interpolating the training data can achieve optimal rates for the problems of nonparametric regression and prediction with square loss.
Many modern machine learning models are trained to achieve zero or near-zero training error in order to obtain near-optimal (but non-zero) test error. This phenomenon of strong generalization performance for "overfitted" / interpolated classifiers appears to be ubiquitous in high-dimensional data, having been observed …
The over-parameterized models attract much attention in the era of data science and deep learning. It is empirically observed that although these models, e.g. deep neural networks, over-fit the training data, they can still achieve small testing error, and sometimes even {\em outperform} traditional algorithms which ar…
We introduce Interpolation Consistency Training (ICT), a simple and computation efficient algorithm for training Deep Neural Networks in the semi-supervised learning paradigm. ICT encourages the prediction at an interpolation of unlabeled points to be consistent with the interpolation of the predictions at those points…
In this paper, we present a new deep learning architecture for addressing the problem of supervised learning with sparse and irregularly sampled multivariate time series. The architecture is based on the use of a semi-parametric interpolation network followed by the application of a prediction network. The interpolatio…

result Loss sharpness in the input space follows a double descent, with large models predicting noisy targets over larger volumes around training data points.
In modern supervised learning, many deep neural networks are able to interpolate the data: the empirical loss can be driven to near zero on all samples simultaneously. In this work, we explicitly exploit this interpolation property for the design of a new optimization algorithm for deep learning, which we term Adaptive…
