Bayes estimators are well known to provide a means to incorporate prior knowledge that can be expressed in terms of a single prior distribution. However, when this knowledge is too vague to express with a single prior, an alternative approach is needed. Gamma-minimax estimators provide such an approach. These estimators minimize the worst-case Bayes risk over a set $\Gamma$ of prior distributions that are compatible with the available knowledge. Traditionally, Gamma-minimaxity is defined for parametric models. In this work, we define Gamma-minimax estimators for general models and propose adversarial meta-learning algorithms to compute them when the set of prior distributions is constrained by generalized moments. Accompanying convergence guarantees are also provided. We also introduce a neural network class that provides a rich, but finite-dimensional, class of estimators from which a Gamma-minimax estimator can be selected. We illustrate our method in two settings, namely entropy estimation and a prediction problem that arises in biodiversity studies.

Researchers have long touted a vision of the future enabled by a proliferation of internet-of-things devices, including smart sensors, homes, and cities. Increasingly, embedding intelligence in such devices involves the use of deep neural networks. However, their storage and processing requirements make them prohibitive for cheap, off-the-shelf platforms. Overcoming those requirements is necessary for enabling widely-applicable smart devices. While many ways of making models smaller and more efficient have been developed, there is a lack of understanding of which ones are best suited for particular scenarios. More importantly for edge platforms, those choices cannot be analyzed in isolation from cost and user experience. In this work, we holistically explore how quantization, model scaling, and multi-modality interact with system components such as memory, sensors, and processors. We perform this hardware/software co-design from the cost, latency, and user-experience perspective, and develop a set of guidelines for optimal system design and model deployment for the most cost-constrained platforms. We demonstrate our approach using an end-to-end, on-device, biometric user authentication system using a $20 ESP-EYE board.

Existing methods have demonstrated effective performance on a single degradation type. In practical applications, however, the degradation is often unknown, and the mismatch between the model and the degradation will result in a severe performance drop. In this paper, we propose an all-in-one image restoration network that tackles multiple degradations. Due to the heterogeneous nature of different types of degradations, it is difficult to process multiple degradations in a single network. To this end, we propose to learn a neural degradation representation (NDR) that captures the underlying characteristics of various degradations. The learned NDR decomposes different types of degradations adaptively, similar to a neural dictionary that represents basic degradation components. Subsequently, we develop a degradation query module and a degradation injection module to effectively recognize and utilize the specific degradation based on NDR, enabling the all-in-one restoration ability for multiple degradations. Moreover, we propose a bidirectional optimization strategy to effectively drive NDR to learn the degradation representation by optimizing the degradation and restoration processes alternately. Comprehensive experiments on representative types of degradations (including noise, haze, rain, and downsampling) demonstrate the effectiveness and generalization capability of our method.

Models trained on different datasets can be merged by a weighted-averaging of their parameters, but why does it work and when can it fail? Here, we connect the inaccuracy of weighted-averaging to mismatches in the gradients and propose a new uncertainty-based scheme to improve the performance by reducing the mismatch. The connection also reveals implicit assumptions in other schemes such as averaging, task arithmetic, and Fisher-weighted averaging. Our new method gives consistent improvements for large language models and vision transformers, both in terms of performance and robustness to hyperparameters.

Generative retrieval, which is a new advanced paradigm for document retrieval, has recently attracted research interests, since it encodes all documents into the model and directly generates the retrieved documents. However, its power is still underutilized since it heavily relies on the "preprocessed" document identifiers (docids), thus limiting its retrieval performance and ability to retrieve new documents. In this paper, we propose a novel fully end-to-end retrieval paradigm. It can not only end-to-end learn the best docids for existing and new documents automatically via a semantic indexing module, but also perform end-to-end document retrieval via an encoder-decoder-based generative model, namely Auto Search Indexer (ASI). Besides, we design a reparameterization mechanism to combine the above two modules into a joint optimization framework. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our model over advanced baselines on both public and industrial datasets and also verify the ability to deal with new documents.

We initiate a novel approach to explain the out of sample performance of random forest (RF) models by exploiting the fact that any RF can be formulated as an adaptive weighted K nearest-neighbors model. Specifically, we use the proximity between points in the feature space learned by the RF to re-write random forest predictions exactly as a weighted average of the target labels of training data points. This linearity facilitates a local notion of explainability of RF predictions that generates attributions for any model prediction across observations in the training set, and thereby complements established methods like SHAP, which instead generates attributions for a model prediction across dimensions of the feature space. We demonstrate this approach in the context of a bond pricing model trained on US corporate bond trades, and compare our approach to various existing approaches to model explainability.

We introduce DISSC, a novel, lightweight method that converts the rhythm, pitch contour and timbre of a recording to a target speaker in a textless manner. Unlike DISSC, most voice conversion (VC) methods focus primarily on timbre, and ignore people's unique speaking style (prosody). The proposed approach uses a pretrained, self-supervised model for encoding speech to discrete units, which makes it simple, effective, and fast to train. All conversion modules are only trained on reconstruction like tasks, thus suitable for any-to-many VC with no paired data. We introduce a suite of quantitative and qualitative evaluation metrics for this setup, and empirically demonstrate that DISSC significantly outperforms the evaluated baselines. Code and samples are available at //pages.cs.huji.ac.il/adiyoss-lab/dissc/.

Guidance in conditional diffusion generation is of great importance for sample quality and controllability. However, existing guidance schemes are to be desired. On one hand, mainstream methods such as classifier guidance and classifier-free guidance both require extra training with labeled data, which is time-consuming and unable to adapt to new conditions. On the other hand, training-free methods such as universal guidance, though more flexible, have yet to demonstrate comparable performance. In this work, through a comprehensive investigation into the design space, we show that it is possible to achieve significant performance improvements over existing guidance schemes by leveraging off-the-shelf classifiers in a training-free fashion, enjoying the best of both worlds. Employing calibration as a general guideline, we propose several pre-conditioning techniques to better exploit pretrained off-the-shelf classifiers for guiding diffusion generation. Extensive experiments on ImageNet validate our proposed method, showing that state-of-the-art diffusion models (DDPM, EDM, DiT) can be further improved (up to 20%) using off-the-shelf classifiers with barely any extra computational cost. With the proliferation of publicly available pretrained classifiers, our proposed approach has great potential and can be readily scaled up to text-to-image generation tasks. The code is available at //github.com/AlexMaOLS/EluCD/tree/main.

Although lyrics represent an essential component of music, few music information processing studies have been conducted on the characteristics of lyricists. Because these characteristics may be valuable for musical applications, such as recommendations, they warrant further study. We considered a potential method that extracts features representing the characteristics of lyricists from lyrics. Because these features must be identified prior to extraction, we focused on lyricists with easily identifiable features. We believe that it is desirable for singers to perform unique songs that share certain characteristics specific to the singer. Accordingly, we hypothesized that lyricists account for the unique characteristics of the singers they write lyrics for. In other words, lyric-lyricist classification performance or the ease of capturing the features of a lyricist from the lyrics may depend on the variety of singers. In this study, we observed a relationship between lyricist-singer entropy or the variety of singers associated with a single lyricist and lyric-lyricist classification performance. As an example, the lyricist-singer entropy is minimal when the lyricist writes lyrics for only one singer. In our experiments, we grouped lyricists among five groups in terms of lyricist-singer entropy and assessed the lyric-lyricist classification performance within each group. Consequently, the best F1 score was obtained for the group with the lowest lyricist-singer entropy. Our results suggest that further analyses of the features contributing to lyric-lyricist classification performance on the lowest lyricist-singer entropy group may improve the feature extraction task for lyricists.

Lead sheets have become commonplace in generative music research, being used as an initial compressed representation for downstream tasks like multitrack music generation and automatic arrangement. Despite this, researchers have often fallen back on deterministic reduction methods (such as the skyline algorithm) to generate lead sheets when seeking paired lead sheets and full scores, with little attention being paid toward the quality of the lead sheets themselves and how they accurately reflect their orchestrated counterparts. To address these issues, we propose the problem of conditional lead sheet generation (i.e. generating a lead sheet given its full score version), and show that this task can be formulated as an unsupervised music compression task, where the lead sheet represents a compressed latent version of the score. We introduce a novel model, called Lead-AE, that models the lead sheets as a discrete subselection of the original sequence, using a differentiable top-k operator to allow for controllable local sparsity constraints. Across both automatic proxy tasks and direct human evaluations, we find that our method improves upon the established deterministic baseline and produces coherent reductions of large multitrack scores.

Decision-making algorithms are being used in important decisions, such as who should be enrolled in health care programs and be hired. Even though these systems are currently deployed in high-stakes scenarios, many of them cannot explain their decisions. This limitation has prompted the Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) initiative, which aims to make algorithms explainable to comply with legal requirements, promote trust, and maintain accountability. This paper questions whether and to what extent explainability can help solve the responsibility issues posed by autonomous AI systems. We suggest that XAI systems that provide post-hoc explanations could be seen as blameworthy agents, obscuring the responsibility of developers in the decision-making process. Furthermore, we argue that XAI could result in incorrect attributions of responsibility to vulnerable stakeholders, such as those who are subjected to algorithmic decisions (i.e., patients), due to a misguided perception that they have control over explainable algorithms. This conflict between explainability and accountability can be exacerbated if designers choose to use algorithms and patients as moral and legal scapegoats. We conclude with a set of recommendations for how to approach this tension in the socio-technical process of algorithmic decision-making and a defense of hard regulation to prevent designers from escaping responsibility.
