Cross-entropy loss functions: Theoretical analysis and applications
Cross-entropy is a widely used loss function in applications. It coincides with the logistic loss
applied to the outputs of a neural network, when the softmax is used. But, what guarantees …

On the opportunities and risks of foundation models
AI is undergoing a paradigm shift with the rise of models (eg, BERT, DALL-E, GPT-3) that are
trained on broad data at scale and are adaptable to a wide range of downstream tasks. We …

Improving robustness using generated data
Recent work argues that robust training requires substantially larger datasets than those
required for standard classification. On CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100, this translates into a …

Data augmentation can improve robustness
Adversarial training suffers from robust overfitting, a phenomenon where the robust test
accuracy starts to decrease during training. In this paper, we focus on reducing robust …

Accuracy on the line: on the strong correlation between out-of-distribution and in-distribution generalization
For machine learning systems to be reliable, we must understand their performance in
unseen, out-of-distribution environments. In this paper, we empirically show that out-of …
