question:
We consider the problem of unsupervised learning of a low dimensional, interpretable, latent state of a video containing a moving object. The problem of distilling dynamics from pixels has been extensively considered through the lens of graphical/state space models that exploit Markov structure for cheap computation and structured graphical model priors for enforcing interpretability on latent representations. We take a step towards extending these approaches by discarding the Markov structure; instead, repurposing the recently proposed Gaussian Process Prior Variational Autoencoder for learning sophisticated latent trajectories. We describe the model and perform experiments on a synthetic dataset and see that the model reliably reconstructs smooth dynamics exhibiting U-turns and loops. We also observe that this model may be trained without any beta-annealing or freeze-thaw of training parameters. Training is performed purely end-to-end on the unmodified evidence lower bound objective. This is in contrast to previous works, albeit for slightly different use cases, where application specific training tricks are often required.
answer:
We learn sohpisticated trajectories of an object purely from pixels with a toy video dataset by using a VAE structure with a Gaussian process prior.


question:
Understanding the groundbreaking performance of Deep Neural Networks is one
 of the greatest challenges to the scientific community today. In this work, we
 introduce an information theoretic viewpoint on the behavior of deep networks
 optimization processes and their generalization abilities. By studying the Information
 Plane, the plane of the mutual information between the input variable and
 the desired label, for each hidden layer. Specifically, we show that the training of
 the network is characterized by a rapid increase in the mutual information (MI)
 between the layers and the target label, followed by a longer decrease in the MI
 between the layers and the input variable. Further, we explicitly show that these
 two fundamental information-theoretic quantities correspond to the generalization
 error of the network, as a result of introducing a new generalization bound that is
 exponential in the representation compression. The analysis focuses on typical
 patterns of large-scale problems. For this purpose, we introduce a novel analytic
 bound on the mutual information between consecutive layers in the network.
 An important consequence of our analysis is a super-linear boost in training time
 with the number of non-degenerate hidden layers, demonstrating the computational
 benefit of the hidden layers.

question:
Robustness verification that aims to formally certify the prediction behavior of  neural networks has become an important tool for understanding the behavior of a given model and for obtaining safety guarantees. However, previous methods are usually limited to relatively simple neural networks. In this paper, we consider the robustness verification problem for Transformers. Transformers have complex self-attention layers that pose many challenges for verification, including cross-nonlinearity and cross-position dependency, which have not been discussed in previous work. We resolve these challenges and develop the first verification algorithm for Transformers. The certified robustness bounds computed by our method are significantly tighter than those by naive Interval Bound Propagation. These bounds also shed light on interpreting Transformers as they consistently reflect the importance of words in sentiment analysis.
answer:

We propose the first algorithm for verifying the robustness of Transformers.
