FiT combines transfer and meta-learning for efficient few-shot image classification.
This paper considers the problem of inferring image labels from images when only a few annotated examples are available at training time. This setup is often referred to as low-shot learning, where a standard approach is to re-train the last few layers of a convolutional neural network learned on separate classes for w…
Conventional deep learning classifiers are static in the sense that they are trained on a predefined set of classes and learning to classify a novel class typically requires re-training. In this work, we address the problem of Low-Shot network expansion learning. We introduce a learning framework which enables expandin…

NACs learn modular neural architectures without domain knowledge.
The goal of this paper is to design image classification systems that, after an initial multi-task training phase, can automatically adapt to new tasks encountered at test time. We introduce a conditional neural process based approach to the multi-task classification setting for this purpose, and establish connections …
Deep neural networks suffer from over-fitting and catastrophic forgetting when trained with small data. One natural remedy for this problem is data augmentation, which has been recently shown to be effective. However, previous works either assume that intra-class variances can always be generalized to new classes, or e…
While deep learning has achieved remarkable results on various applications, it is usually data hungry and struggles to learn over non-stationary data stream. To solve these two limits, the deep learning model should not only be able to learn from a few of data, but also incrementally learn new concepts from data strea…
Despite the recent success of deep transfer learning approaches in NLP, there is a lack of quantitative studies demonstrating the gains these models offer in low-shot text classification tasks over existing paradigms. Deep transfer learning approaches such as BERT and ULMFiT demonstrate that they can beat state-of-the-…
Automatically writing stylized Chinese characters is an attractive yet challenging task due to its wide applicabilities. In this paper, we propose a novel framework named Style-Aware Variational Auto-Encoder (SA-VAE) to flexibly generate Chinese characters. Specifically, we propose to capture the different characterist…
JoLT uses LLMs to make probabilistic predictions on tabular data.
Few-shot learning is currently enjoying a considerable resurgence of interest, aided by the recent advance of deep learning. Contemporary approaches based on weight-generation scheme delivers a straightforward and flexible solution to the problem. However, they did not fully consider both the representation power for u…
Employing deep neural networks as natural image priors to solve inverse problems either requires large amounts of data to sufficiently train expressive generative models or can succeed with no data via untrained neural networks. However, very few works have considered how to interpolate between these no- to high-data r…

Stochastic methods with coordinate-wise adaptive stepsize (such as RMSprop and Adam) have been widely used in training deep neural networks. Despite their fast convergence, they can generalize worse than stochastic gradient descent. In this paper, by revisiting the design of Adagrad, we propose to split the network par…
Sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) based ASR systems have shown state-of-the-art performances while having clear advantages in terms of simplicity. However, comparisons are mostly done on speaker independent (SI) ASR systems, though speaker adapted conventional systems are commonly used in practice for improving robustness…

We propose a new concept named adaptive submodularity ratio to study the greedy policy for sequential decision making. While the greedy policy is known to perform well for a wide variety of adaptive stochastic optimization problems in practice, its theoretical properties have been analyzed only for a limited class of p…
Adaptive sequential decision making is one of the central challenges in machine learning and artificial intelligence. In such problems, the goal is to design an interactive policy that plans for an action to take, from a finite set of actions, given some partial observations. It has been shown that in many applicat…

Automation of machine learning model development is increasingly becoming an established research area. While automated model selection and automated data pre-processing have been studied in depth, there is, however, a gap concerning automated model adaptation strategies when multiple strategies are available. Manually…
