Open Ended and AI Generating Algorithms in the Era of Foundation Models - Jeff Clune
[Vanderbilt Machine Learning] Open Ended and AI Generating Algorithms in the Era of Foundation Models - Jeff Clune (University of British Columbia), December 09, 2024
Abstract: Foundation models (e.g. large language models) create exciting new opportunities in our longstanding quests to produce open-ended and Al-generating algorithms, wherein agents can truly keep innovating and learning forever. In this talk I will share some of our recent work harnessing the power of foundation models to make progress in these areas. I will cover our recent work on OMNI (Open-endedness via Models of human Notions of Interestingness), Video Pre-Training (VPT), Thought Cloning, Automatically Designing Agentic Systems, and The Al Scientist.

Concept Learning Across Domains and Modalities - Jiajun Wu, Stanford University
Переглядів 242Місяць тому
[Vanderbilt Machine Learning] Concept Learning Across Domains and Modalities - Jiajun Wu (Stanford University), November 04, 2024 Abstract: I will discuss a concept-centric paradigm for building agents that can learn continually and reason flexibly across multiple domains and input modalities. The concept-centric agent utilizes a vocabulary of neuro-symbolic concepts. These concepts, including ...

[Vanderbilt Machine Learning Seminar Series] Distributional Preference Alignment of Large Language Models via Optimal Transport - Youssef Mroueh (IBM Research/MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab) - October 21, 2024 Abstract: Current LLM alignment techniques use pairwise human preferences at a sample level, and as such, they do not imply an alignment on the distributional level. We propose in this paper Align...

[Vanderbilt Machine Learning Seminar Series] Generalizing Outside the Training Distribution through Compositional Generation - Yilun Du (Google DeepMind / Harvard University) - September 23, 2024 Abstract: Generative AI has led to stunning successes in recent years but is fundamentally limited by the amount of data available. This is especially limiting in the embodied setting - where an agent ...

[Vanderbilt Machine Learning Seminar Series] Denoising as a Building Block for Imaging, Inverse Problems, and Machine Learning - Peyman Milanfar (Google Research) - February 5th, 2024 Denoising is one of the oldest problems in imaging. There are thousands of papers on this topic, and their scope is vast and the approaches so diverse that putting them in some order (as I will do) is both useful ...
Diffusion Models for Scientific Discovery - Stefano Ermon
Переглядів 1197 місяців тому
Diffusion models are at the core of many state-of-the-art generative AI systems for media content such as images, videos, and audio. Due to their excellent sample quality and theoretical guarantees, they are emerging as an important tool in many scientific, medical, and engineering applications. In this talk I will present several extensions of diffusion models tailored to the unique challenges...

KAN: Kolmogorov Arnold Networks - Ziming Liu
Переглядів 2567 місяців тому
Abstract: Inspired by the Kolmogorov-Arnold representation theorem, we propose Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) as promising alternatives to Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs). While MLPs have fixed activation functions on nodes ("neurons"), KANs have learnable activation functions on edges ("weights"). KANs have no linear weights at all every weight parameter is replaced by a univariate function ...
