Abstract: In this talk, we will discuss the nuts and bolts of the novel continuous-time neural network models: Liquid Time-Constant (LTC) Networks. Instead of declaring a learning system's dynamics by implicit nonlinearities, LTCs construct networks of linear first-order dynamical systems modulated via nonlinear interlinked gates. LTCs represent dynamical systems with varying (i.e., liquid) time-constants, with outputs being computed by numerical differential equation solvers. These neural networks exhibit stable and bounded behavior, yield superior expressivity within the family of neural ordinary differential equations, and give rise to improved performance on time-series prediction tasks compared to advance recurrent network models.

It just amazes me how the final few layers are so crucial to the objective of the neural network!
Great work,i hope that they publish the article of this model soon.
Sounds like an important and necessary evolution of ML. Lets see how much this can be generalized and scaled but sounds fascinating.
I will try to use it.
I think that a lot of studies and reports will make interesting returns .
"Necessary" for which specific applications ? Surely not "necessary" across the board.
I'd like to see you elaborate

@@andrewferguson6901 You wrongly assume that the product of that training is necessary to begin with.
Always interesting. Thx
amazing video. thank you for uploading.
very good, the idea for that is simple, the problem relay in puting all of it to work together, that is the good stuff
Most underrated talk. This is an actual game changer for ML.
:) most overrated comment on this video.
It mind be! Let's see how it performs in specific tasks against state of the art solutions, not against toy-models of specific architecture, can't wait to try it myself especially vs transformers or residual CNNs :)
I think that it is way too early to say this. A few mathematicians tried to improve DNNs' interpretability in similar ways. This comment seems perhaps over-optimistic from a viewpoint of theory. We do need testing its performance in more CV tasks.
yeah. this got me to chime back in. holy shit.
@@guopengli6705 nah u werent paying attention, this revolutionizes causal learning in my opinion while improving on the state-of the art
I prefer my Neural Networks solid thabk you very much
Amazing!!
Thanks Ramin and team. That was the most interesting and well delivered presentation on neural nets that I have ever seen, certainly a lot new to learn in there. Most impressed by the return to learning from nature and the brain and how that significantly augmented 'standard' RNNs etc. Well, there's a new standard now, and it's liquid.
@alwadud9243 can you explain how this works?
I think it is interesting too but I fail to grasp any Intuition.
The only other way I see is to spend hours with papers and equations, but I cannot afford the time for that at present so I was curious if you were able to glean more insight than me :) 😊 thanks!
Awesome Thanks!
I am moved beyond description.
What an amazing privilege to be alive in this day and age.
The future will be great for mankind.
man i dont work in ml field but sure this is fascinating!!!!
Fascinating... loved every minute.
I got so happy finding out the person who wrote this exciting paper, is also a Ramin :)
Thats cute :)
I would need a simpler version of the 22:49 diagram to understand this.
Ramin says here that standard NN neurons have a recursive connection to themselves. I don't know a ton about ANNs, but I overhear from my coworkers, and I never heard of that recursive connection. Is that for RNNs?
Is there a "Reaching 99% on MNIST"-simple explanation, or does this liquidity only work on time-series data?
The "discovery" that fixed time steps for ODE work better in this case is very well known in the optimal control literature (at least by a couple of decades).
Basically if your ODE solver has adaptive time steps, the exact mathematical operations performed for a given integration time interval dT can vary because a different number of internal steps is performed. This can have really bad consequences on the gradients of the final time states.
There's plenty of theoretical and practical discussion in Betts' book Practical Methods for Optimal Control, chapter 3.9 Dynamic Systems Differentiation.

Great talk, does anyone know if Tesla's latest "rewrite" in "Full Self Driving (FSB) beta 12" is using something like what is in this talk, or something else?
How do these compare to neural ode?
Amazing talk
Casualty is extremely important in building Bayesian model of the world. It allows to identify correlations between events, that are useful to create a-priori statistics for reasoning, because we avoid double-counting. Single evidence and its logical consequences is not seen as many independent confirmations of hypothesis.
But why do the other methods have smaller error bands? There is further improvement that can be done here
I'm curious would't numerical solver to ODE kill all gradients, getting error scaling exponentially as depth grows ?
You can differentiate through an ODE solver, either manually or automatically. Even numerical gradients may work if you're careful with your implementation
@@lorenzoa.ricciardi4264 You mean like and AdaGrad type thing ? Given that gradients can be computed exactly, i.e. solution to ODE exists in closed form - i would assume there would be no such problem. On the other hand, if there is no such thing as closed solution to ODE presented, one probably is limited by depth of neural net, even with approaches like LSTM/GRU, "higher-order" ODE solvers etc.
@@phquanta I'm talking about automatic differentiation, there's several packages to do it in many languages. And you can compute those automatic gradients without knowing the closed solution of the ODE. Of course, if you have the closed form solution you can compute gradients manually, but that's not my point.
@@lorenzoa.ricciardi4264 All NN have backprop and chain rule that basically unravels all derivatives exactly as nonlinearities are easily differentiable. In liquid NN, along with all other problems(vanishing/exploding gradients) you are adding a source of inherent numerical error on top of existing ones and even Runge-Kutta won't help. What I'm saying, you are limited by the depth of Liquid NN. As a concept, it might be cool, but I would assume it is not easily scalable.
@@phquanta I'm not particularly expert in NN. From what I see in the presentation there's only a few layers in this approach, not dozens. The "depth" mostly seems to come from the continuous process described by the odes of the synapses.
You shouldn't have particular problems when differentiating through ODEs if you know how to do it properly. One part of the problem may be related to the duration of time you're integrating your ODE for (not mentioned in the talk) and the nonlinearity of the underlying dynamics. When you deal with very nonlinear optimal control problems a naive approach like a single shooting (which is probably related to the simplest kind of backpropagation) you'll end up having horrible sensitivity problems. That's why multiple shooting was invented. Otherwise you can use collocation methods that work even better.
As for numerical errors: with automatic differentiation your errors are down to machine epsilon by construction. They are as good as analytical ones, but most often they are way faster to execute, and one does not have to do the tedious job of computing them manually. If you combine a multiple shooting approach with automatic differentiation, you don't have numerical error explosion (or better, you can control it very well). That's why we can compute very complicated optimal trajectories for space probes in a really precise way, even though the integration times spans years or even decades and the dynamics is extremely nonlinear.
Wow!
this was a great talk, this could change everything
That's amazing concept. We should implement it out of spite.
Too often we feel our brain to be a mush. Ai should suffer that way too.
I've had unarticulated thoughts with resemblance to this concept for many decades, I never learned the math, so never could express my ideas. I still need someone to explain the math at a highschool level!
The video showed up in my feed randomly and I clicked on it just cause the lecturer was Iranian. But the content was so interesting that I watched it to the end. Sounds like a really evolutionary breakthrough in ML and DL. Specially with the computational power of computing systems growing every day, training/inferencing such complex network models become more possible. Great job
Where to get the slides?
Attention map at 7:00 looks fine to me. If you do not want to wander off out of the road, you should attend to the boundary of the road. And even after you add noise at 7:30, the attention still picks up the boundary which is pretty good.
Yes, it still is a consistent pattern for the driving task.
This sounds kinda like the MesaOptimizatier thing Robert Miles keeps talking about. ua-cam.com/video/bJLcIBixGj8/v-deo.html
A network can learn the same task in several ways with totally different inner objective which may or may not align with a biological agent doing the same task.
Because the LTC Network is uncovering the causal structure, it performs much better in noise (33:26), heavy rain/occlusions (42:54) and crashes less in the simulation.
Since it pays attention to the causes, I wonder if it's also giving itself more time to steer correctly?
@@ChrisJohnsonHome I would guess that yes, the time constants of the network would learn to modulate in the face of uncertainty
Looking at the boundary of the road is not how humans drive. We assume that we know where the nearby boundary is already and so look at the horizon to update our mental maps. It is reasonable that neural networks should look to do the same, and it is evidence of LTC's causal behavior.
where can i find the paper ?
Any association with Liquid Snake ?
Great work!
Does this mean all the training done for autonomous driving with the traditional NN goes to the toilet?
For sure 😂
No, these still use convolutional layers for image processing.
What is the difference betweem these LNNs and coupled ODEs? Aren't we conflating these terms. If you drive a car with only 19, then what you have is an asynchronous network of coupled ODEs and not a neural network, the term is misleading.
Feels like ML folks keep rediscovering things all over
Yep. Basically if you have a good theoretical level of optimal control theory you can see that this approach is fusing state observation and control policy. There's literally no mention of it in the whole talk. I'll give the benefit of the doubt for the reason of this, but unfortunately I *very* often see, as you say, that ML people rediscover stuff and rebrand it as a ML invention (like backprop, which is literally just a discretized version of a standard technique in calculus of variations/optimal control).
@@lorenzoa.ricciardi4264 this is definitely not just "rediscovering" stuff. I'm not sure how you managed to watch the whole talk yet missed all the parts that this technique has outperformed previous techniques by leaps and bounds. You sound like a salty calculus teacher but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for the reason of this lol.
this should be the next deep learning revolution.
Sounds interesting, but... The fundamental difference between biological and NN processing at the current state is time. While biological systems process input asynchronously, computers try to do the whole path in one tick. I believe, this must be addressed first, leading to a completely new concept of NN, where input neurons will generate a set of signals first (with some variations as per change in the physical source signals), those signals then will be accumulated by the next layer of NN, processed in the same fashion, and passed further. This way signals which will repeat over the multiple sampling ticks of the first layer will be treated with a higher trust (importance) level on the next layer.
Our brains learn as we use them. Artificial neural networks are “trained” by using gradient decent to optimize an extremely complex function for a dataset during a training phase, then as it’s used to predict answers it learns nothing.
We need continuous reinforcement learning.
@@terjeoseberg990 What about recurrent neural networks? Besides, the human's brain also first learns how to: see, grab, hold, walk, speak etc -- i.e. builds models -- and then it uses these models, improving them, but never reinventing them.
@@andreylebedenko1260, Recurrent neural networks are also trained using gradient decent. I don’t believe our brains have a gradient descent mechanism. I have mo clue how our brains learn. Gradient descent is pretty simple to understand. What our brains do is a complete mystery.

@@terjeoseberg990 actually look up backpropogation in the brain, it is plausible that we are doing something similar to backprop at the end of the day
I am wondering how it does for RL scenarios!
As am I. I plan on testing out some concepts using their LTC keras package. Will see how it goes
I have used it and it works well, just use a slightly larger learning rate than LSTM.
To me it seems similar to variational inference ...
Must share technology that saves lives.
- let's make another attempt at implementing a biology-inspired neural network
- proceeds implementing backprop
Direct MLE over direct data is still the best (ATM, AFAIK) in class for implicitly performing regression over a distribution density w.r.t. the internal states/activations/features of a network.
Generally the rule of thumb is to limit "big steps" from the main trunk of development so that impact can be measured, etc. It also helps to vastly (i.e. orders of magnitude) increase the change that something will succeed.
Otherwise the chances of failure are much higher (and rarely get published, I would suspect from personal experience). I'm sure there is some nice interconnected minimally-required jump of feature subsets from this kind of research to a more Hebbian-kind-of-based approach, but then again there's nothing dictating we do it all at once (which can be exponentially expensive).
Hopefully brain stuff comes in handy, but ATM the field is going towards massively nearly linear models instead of the opposite, since the prior affords better results (generally) for MLE-over-MCE.
@@fernbear3950 but linear models suck when there's big regime changes in the data
@@Gunth0r I'm not sure what you mean by 'regime' changes here. I wasn't talking about anything linear at all here. MLE over a linear model would be, uh, interesting to say the least, lol.

How does the attention map showing that the LNN was looking at the vanishing point mean it’s forming “better” representations?
Shouldn’t “better” representations only be understood as having better performance? If it’s more explainable that’s cool but there’s ways to train CNNs that make them more explainable while hurting performance.
Can't agree more. It would be more persuasive if the Liquid Neural Networks are immune to some problem that previous architecture generally struggles, such as cases about adversarial examples.
The fact that Liquid Neural Networks can't learn long term dependency, compared with LSTM is sort of disappointing, as LSTM is already underperforming compared with attention only model.
Not to mention that spike neural network is something that I myself (not an expert though) would say are designed according to biological brain mechanism.
Isn't the point of looking at the attention map to understand how the network is understanding the current issue? When they showed the attention maps for all the models we could see that the LSTM was mostly paying attention to the road like 5-10 feet ahead, making it sensitive to immediate changes in lighting conditions. The LNN was paying attention to the vanishing point to understand the way the road evolves (at least it seemed like that's what they were getting at), and therefore not being sensitive to immediate changes in light level? It doesn't mean its forming 'better' representations, just that being able to distinguish what each representation is using as key information allows us to make more robust models that are less sensitive to common pitfalls one might fall into.
@@rainmaker5199 for me that is more like an interpretability issue. And for general auto driving, i think there is no definite answer about where the model should look at, otherwise it becomes a soft handcrafted constraint or curriculum learning. It is still reasonable for the ai to look at the side way as it also tell something about the curvature of the road. And in general auto driving, there might be obstacle or pedestrian poping anywhere, so this claim about attending the vanishing point of the road is better sounds less persuasive. Generally speaking one do not even know what part of the input should be attended in the fitst. place.
@@jellyboy00 I think you misunderstood me, I'm not claiming that the model attending to the vanishing point is a better self driving model for all circumstances, just that it's better at understanding that the road shape can be determined ahead of time rather than in the current step of points. This allows us to have the possibility of distributing responsibility between multiple models focused on more specific tasks. So basically, the fact that its able to tell the road shape earlier and with less continuous information alongside the fact that we know more specifically what task is being accomplished (rather than a mostly black box) is the valuable contribution here.
Can't wait to do a project on LNN and add it to my resume to stand out of the crowd.

@@AndyBarbosa96 ok thanks
I'm not an expert, but this sounds to me like this an implementation of different neurotransmitters, isn't?
I don't see how it would be
@@moormanjean5636 i've seen the video again to answer you, and still think the same.
@@zzmhs4 Let me try to explain my POV. Different neurotransmitters in the brain serve specific and multifaceted roles, some of which are similar but usually not. I think of distinct neurotransmitters as essentially being subcircuits that are coupled together on diverse timescales and in various combinations. Evolution allowed these to emerge naturally, but in my opinion, you would need something like an neuroevolutionary algorithm to actually implement an analogue of neurotransmitters in neural networks. What LTCs propose is something fundamentally different, and I think more to do with a model of the neurons/synapses that is more biologically accurate than an attempted or indirect implementation of different neurotransmitters.
@@moormanjean5636 Ok, I see, thanks for answer my first question
is it really reasonable to "just" model a CNN for autonomous driving? it would be better to compare liquid nets with policies trained in an RL system (where at least some underlying goal was followed), no?

USA: I WILL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE MODEL
Ok, after half of the talk, I stopped and read the entire paper, which kind of left me disappointed. LNNs are promoted as a huge step forward, but where are the numbers to back this up? I couldn't find them in the paper, and I strongly doubt that this is the "game-changer" as some suggest.
Ramin makes a really good point about why LNNs could be better in a lot of situations, though. Time scale is continuous, allowing for the model to approximate any function with significantly fewer parameters. But I can imagine that the implementation might be so ridiculous that it will never replace DNNs.
He goes over performance numbers starting at around 29:44
They have a number of advantages, performance and efficiency being two of them. The problem I think a lot of people have is they expect ground-breaking results to be extremely obvious in terms of performance gains, as if the state-of-the-art wasn't extremely proficient to begin with. There are plenty of opportunities to scale the performance of LNNs, but it is their other theoretical properties that are what make them a game changer in my opinion.
For example, their stability, their time-continuous nature, their causal nature, these are very important yet subtle properties of effective models. Not to mention you only need a handful to pull off what otherwise would take millions of parameters... how is that not a gamechanger??
I couldn't even find the paper, where is it?

1. He decided to solve differential equations.
2. He didn’t get rid of back propagation.
Probably he is required to do some good math in order to publish papers and be paid a salary. As long as we have such an incentive from a scientific community, we would be stuck with suboptimal narrow AI based on statistics and back propagation.

He showed how he merged the two concepts mathematically to improve the expressivity of model. I believe this was more for our educational benefit than to develop or test what he had already achieved.
I do get your point about back propagation, but that was not an aim of this exercise. No doubt when that is solved it msy also, at some stage, be useful to merge that with the neuroscience enhanced NN described here.
