Generative adversarial networks benefit from optimal input dimension and adaptive generator architecture.
problem Minimizing generalization error in GANs through optimal input dimension.
method Introducing generalized GANs (G-GANs) with group penalty and architecture penalty for adaptive dimensionality reduction and network architecture identification.
result G-GANs achieve superior performance with 40%+ improvements in maximum mean discrepancy or Frechet inception distance compared to off-the-shelf methods.
Over the past few years, neural networks were proven vulnerable to adversarial images: targeted but imperceptible image perturbations lead to drastically different predictions. We show that adversarial vulnerability increases with the gradients of the training objective when viewed as a function of the inputs. Surprisi…
In this paper, we study the problem of approximately computing the product of two real matrices. In particular, we analyze a dimensionality-reduction-based approximation algorithm due to Sarlos [1], introducing the notion of nuclear rank as the ratio of the nuclear norm over the spectral norm. The presented bound has i…
The paper is devoted to the local classification of generic control-affine systems on an n-dimensional manifold with scalar input for any n>3 or with two inputs for n=4 and n=5, up to state-feedback transformations, preserving the affine structure. First using the Poincare series of moduli numbers we introduce the intr…
Generative models can approximate high-dimensional data from lower dimensions without needing a latent dimension equal to or greater than the data's intrinsic dimension.
problem Theoretical limitations on the latent dimension required for generative models to approximate high-dimensional data distributions.
method Inspired by space-filling curves, the work demonstrates that generative networks can approximate distributions on d-dimensional manifolds from inputs of any arbitrary dimension, even lower than d.
result Generative models can approximate high-dimensional data distributions from lower-dimensional inputs without needing a latent dimension equal to or greater than the data's intrinsic dimension.
A typical goal of supervised dimension reduction is to find a low-dimensional subspace of the input space such that the projected input variables preserve maximal information about the output variables. The dependence maximization approach solves the supervised dimension reduction problem through maximizing a statistic…
This paper presents a novel decentralized high-dimensional Bayesian optimization (DEC-HBO) algorithm that, in contrast to existing HBO algorithms, can exploit the interdependent effects of various input components on the output of the unknown objective function f for boosting the BO performance and still preserve scala…

problem The influence of VC dimension on neural network approximation and learning from samples.
method Analysis of high-dimensional geometry and statistical learning theory, focusing on VC dimension.
result Finite VC dimension is beneficial for uniform convergence of empirical errors but not for approximation of functions from a probability distribution.
Deep generative networks provide a powerful tool for modeling complex data in a wide range of applications. In inverse problems that use these networks as generative priors on data, one must often perform inference of the inputs of the networks from the outputs. Inference is also required for sampling during stochastic…
Neural networks have been shown to be vulnerable against minor adversarial perturbations of their inputs, especially for high dimensional data under ℓ∞ attacks. To combat this problem, techniques like adversarial training have been employed to obtain models which are robust on the training set. However, the …
We introduce fully scalable Gaussian processes, an implementation scheme that tackles the problem of treating a high number of training instances together with high dimensional input data. Our key idea is a representation trick over the inducing variables called subspace inducing inputs. This is combined with certain m…
We investigate the complexity of deep neural networks (DNN) that represent piecewise linear (PWL) functions. In particular, we study the number of linear regions, i.e. pieces, that a PWL function represented by a DNN can attain, both theoretically and empirically. We present (i) tighter upper and lower bounds for the m…
Deep neural networks are over-parameterized, which implies that the number of parameters are much larger than the number of samples used to train the network. Even in such a regime deep architectures do not overfit. This phenomenon is an active area of research and many theories have been proposed trying to understand …
In this paper we propose a generalization of deep neural networks called deep function machines (DFMs). DFMs act on vector spaces of arbitrary (possibly infinite) dimension and we show that a family of DFMs are invariant to the dimension of input data; that is, the parameterization of the model does not directly hinge …
Well-established methods for the solution of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) typically struggle in problems with high-dimensional inputs/outputs. Such difficulties are only amplified in large-scale applications where even a few tens of full-order model runs are impracticable. While dimensionality redu…
Random projections are able to perform dimension reduction efficiently for datasets with nonlinear low-dimensional structures. One well-known example is that random matrices embed sparse vectors into a low-dimensional subspace nearly isometrically, known as the restricted isometric property in compressed sensing. In th…
