Foundation models, now powering most of the exciting applications in deep learning, are almost universally based on the Transformer architecture and its core attention module. Many subquadratic-time architectures such as linear attention, gated convolution and recurrent models, and structured state space models (SSMs) have been developed to address Transformers' computational inefficiency on long sequences, but they have not performed as well as attention on important modalities such as language. We identify that a key weakness of such models is their inability to perform content-based reasoning, and make several improvements. First, simply letting the SSM parameters be functions of the input addresses their weakness with discrete modalities, allowing the model to selectively propagate or forget information along the sequence length dimension depending on the current token. Second, even though this change prevents the use of efficient convolutions, we design a hardware-aware parallel algorithm in recurrent mode. We integrate these selective SSMs into a simplified end-to-end neural network architecture without attention or even MLP blocks (Mamba). Mamba enjoys fast inference (5$\times$ higher throughput than Transformers) and linear scaling in sequence length, and its performance improves on real data up to million-length sequences. As a general sequence model backbone, Mamba achieves state-of-the-art performance across several modalities such as language, audio, and genomics. On language modeling, our Mamba-3B model outperforms Transformers of the same size and matches Transformers twice its size, both in pretraining and downstream evaluation.

Active learning aims to enhance model performance by strategically labeling informative data points. While extensively studied, its effectiveness on large-scale, real-world datasets remains underexplored. Existing research primarily focuses on single-source data, ignoring the multi-domain nature of real-world data. We introduce a multi-domain active learning benchmark to bridge this gap. Our benchmark demonstrates that traditional single-domain active learning strategies are often less effective than random selection in multi-domain scenarios. We also introduce CLIP-GeoYFCC, a novel large-scale image dataset built around geographical domains, in contrast to existing genre-based domain datasets. Analysis on our benchmark shows that all multi-domain strategies exhibit significant tradeoffs, with no strategy outperforming across all datasets or all metrics, emphasizing the need for future research.

Hypergraphs as an expressive and general structure have attracted considerable attention from various research domains. Most existing hypergraph node representation learning techniques are based on graph neural networks, and thus adopt the two-stage message passing paradigm (i.e. node -> hyperedge -> node). This paradigm only focuses on local information propagation and does not effectively take into account global information, resulting in less optimal representations. Our theoretical analysis of representative two-stage message passing methods shows that, mathematically, they model different ways of local message passing through hyperedges, and can be unified into one-stage message passing (i.e. node -> node). However, they still only model local information. Motivated by this theoretical analysis, we propose a novel one-stage message passing paradigm to model both global and local information propagation for hypergraphs. We integrate this paradigm into HGraphormer, a Transformer-based framework for hypergraph node representation learning. HGraphormer injects the hypergraph structure information (local information) into Transformers (global information) by combining the attention matrix and hypergraph Laplacian. Extensive experiments demonstrate that HGraphormer outperforms recent hypergraph learning methods on five representative benchmark datasets on the semi-supervised hypernode classification task, setting new state-of-the-art performance, with accuracy improvements between 2.52% and 6.70%. Our code and datasets are available.

Activation functions are the linchpins of deep learning, profoundly influencing both the representational capacity and training dynamics of neural networks. They shape not only the nature of representations but also optimize convergence rates and enhance generalization potential. Appreciating this critical role, we present the Linear Oscillation (LoC) activation function, defined as $f(x) = x \times \sin(\alpha x + \beta)$. Distinct from conventional activation functions which primarily introduce non-linearity, LoC seamlessly blends linear trajectories with oscillatory deviations. The nomenclature "Linear Oscillation" is a nod to its unique attribute of infusing linear activations with harmonious oscillations, capturing the essence of the "Importance of Confusion". This concept of "controlled confusion" within network activations is posited to foster more robust learning, particularly in contexts that necessitate discerning subtle patterns. Our empirical studies reveal that, when integrated into diverse neural architectures, the LoC activation function consistently outperforms established counterparts like ReLU and Sigmoid. The stellar performance exhibited by the avant-garde Vision Transformer model using LoC further validates its efficacy. This study illuminates the remarkable benefits of the LoC over other prominent activation functions. It champions the notion that intermittently introducing deliberate complexity or "confusion" during training can spur more profound and nuanced learning. This accentuates the pivotal role of judiciously selected activation functions in shaping the future of neural network training.

Self-supervised learning is one of the most promising approaches to acquiring knowledge from limited labeled data. Despite the substantial advancements made in recent years, self-supervised models have posed a challenge to practitioners, as they do not readily provide insight into the model's confidence and uncertainty. Tackling this issue is no simple feat, primarily due to the complexity involved in implementing techniques that can make use of the latent representations learned during pre-training without relying on explicit labels. Motivated by this, we introduce a new stochastic vision transformer that integrates uncertainty and distance awareness into self-supervised learning (SSL) pipelines. Instead of the conventional deterministic vector embedding, our novel stochastic vision transformer encodes image patches into elliptical Gaussian distributional embeddings. Notably, the attention matrices of these stochastic representational embeddings are computed using Wasserstein distance-based attention, effectively capitalizing on the distributional nature of these embeddings. Additionally, we propose a regularization term based on Wasserstein distance for both pre-training and fine-tuning processes, thereby incorporating distance awareness into latent representations. We perform extensive experiments across different tasks such as in-distribution generalization, out-of-distribution detection, dataset corruption, semi-supervised settings, and transfer learning to other datasets and tasks. Our proposed method achieves superior accuracy and calibration, surpassing the self-supervised baseline in a wide range of experiments on a variety of datasets.

Federated Learning (FL) is the state-of-the-art approach for learning from decentralized data in privacy-constrained scenarios. As the current literature reports, the main problems associated with FL refer to system and statistical challenges: the former ones demand for efficient learning from edge devices, including lowering communication bandwidth and frequency, while the latter require algorithms robust to non-iidness. State-of-art approaches either guarantee convergence at increased communication cost or are not sufficiently robust to handle extreme heterogeneous local distributions. In this work we propose a novel generalization of the heavy-ball momentum, and present FedHBM to effectively address statistical heterogeneity in FL without introducing any communication overhead. We conduct extensive experimentation on common FL vision and NLP datasets, showing that our FedHBM algorithm empirically yields better model quality and higher convergence speed w.r.t. the state-of-art, especially in pathological non-iid scenarios. While being designed for cross-silo settings, we show how FedHBM is applicable in moderate-to-high cross-device scenarios, and how good model initializations (e.g. pre-training) can be exploited for prompt acceleration. Extended experimentation on large-scale real-world federated datasets further corroborates the effectiveness of our approach for real-world FL applications.

While deep reinforcement learning (RL) has fueled multiple high-profile successes in machine learning, it is held back from more widespread adoption by its often poor data efficiency and the limited generality of the policies it produces. A promising approach for alleviating these limitations is to cast the development of better RL algorithms as a machine learning problem itself in a process called meta-RL. Meta-RL is most commonly studied in a problem setting where, given a distribution of tasks, the goal is to learn a policy that is capable of adapting to any new task from the task distribution with as little data as possible. In this survey, we describe the meta-RL problem setting in detail as well as its major variations. We discuss how, at a high level, meta-RL research can be clustered based on the presence of a task distribution and the learning budget available for each individual task. Using these clusters, we then survey meta-RL algorithms and applications. We conclude by presenting the open problems on the path to making meta-RL part of the standard toolbox for a deep RL practitioner.

A mainstream type of current self-supervised learning methods pursues a general-purpose representation that can be well transferred to downstream tasks, typically by optimizing on a given pretext task such as instance discrimination. In this work, we argue that existing pretext tasks inevitably introduce biases into the learned representation, which in turn leads to biased transfer performance on various downstream tasks. To cope with this issue, we propose Maximum Entropy Coding (MEC), a more principled objective that explicitly optimizes on the structure of the representation, so that the learned representation is less biased and thus generalizes better to unseen downstream tasks. Inspired by the principle of maximum entropy in information theory, we hypothesize that a generalizable representation should be the one that admits the maximum entropy among all plausible representations. To make the objective end-to-end trainable, we propose to leverage the minimal coding length in lossy data coding as a computationally tractable surrogate for the entropy, and further derive a scalable reformulation of the objective that allows fast computation. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MEC learns a more generalizable representation than previous methods based on specific pretext tasks. It achieves state-of-the-art performance consistently on various downstream tasks, including not only ImageNet linear probe, but also semi-supervised classification, object detection, instance segmentation, and object tracking. Interestingly, we show that existing batch-wise and feature-wise self-supervised objectives could be seen equivalent to low-order approximations of MEC. Code and pre-trained models are available at //github.com/xinliu20/MEC.

Despite the recent progress in deep learning, most approaches still go for a silo-like solution, focusing on learning each task in isolation: training a separate neural network for each individual task. Many real-world problems, however, call for a multi-modal approach and, therefore, for multi-tasking models. Multi-task learning (MTL) aims to leverage useful information across tasks to improve the generalization capability of a model. This thesis is concerned with multi-task learning in the context of computer vision. First, we review existing approaches for MTL. Next, we propose several methods that tackle important aspects of multi-task learning. The proposed methods are evaluated on various benchmarks. The results show several advances in the state-of-the-art of multi-task learning. Finally, we discuss several possibilities for future work.

While existing machine learning models have achieved great success for sentiment classification, they typically do not explicitly capture sentiment-oriented word interaction, which can lead to poor results for fine-grained analysis at the snippet level (a phrase or sentence). Factorization Machine provides a possible approach to learning element-wise interaction for recommender systems, but they are not directly applicable to our task due to the inability to model contexts and word sequences. In this work, we develop two Position-aware Factorization Machines which consider word interaction, context and position information. Such information is jointly encoded in a set of sentiment-oriented word interaction vectors. Compared to traditional word embeddings, SWI vectors explicitly capture sentiment-oriented word interaction and simplify the parameter learning. Experimental results show that while they have comparable performance with state-of-the-art methods for document-level classification, they benefit the snippet/sentence-level sentiment analysis.
