Question: We extend the recent results of (Arora et al., 2019) by a spectral analysis of representations corresponding to kernel and neural embeddings. They showed that in a simple single layer network, the alignment of the labels to the eigenvectors of the corresponding Gram matrix determines both the convergence of the optimization during training as well as the generalization properties. We generalize their result to kernel and neural representations and show that these extensions improve both optimization and generalization of the basic setup studied in (Arora et al., 2019).

Answer: Spectral analysis for understanding how different representations can improve optimization and generalization.


Question: A central goal of unsupervised learning is to acquire representations from unlabeled data or experience that can be used for more effective learning of downstream tasks from modest amounts of labeled data. Many prior unsupervised learning works aim to do so by developing proxy objectives based on reconstruction, disentanglement, prediction, and other metrics. Instead, we develop an unsupervised meta-learning method that explicitly optimizes for the ability to learn a variety of tasks from small amounts of data. To do so, we construct tasks from unlabeled data in an automatic way and run meta-learning over the constructed tasks. Surprisingly, we find that, when integrated with meta-learning, relatively simple task construction mechanisms, such as clustering embeddings, lead to good performance on a variety of downstream, human-specified tasks. Our experiments across four image datasets indicate that our unsupervised meta-learning approach acquires a learning algorithm without any labeled data that is applicable to a wide range of downstream classification tasks, improving upon the embedding learned by four prior unsupervised learning methods.

Answer: An unsupervised learning method that uses meta-learning to enable efficient learning of downstream image classification tasks, outperforming state-of-the-art methods.


Question: We formulate a new problem at the intersection of semi-supervised learning and contextual bandits, motivated by several applications including clinical trials and dialog systems. We demonstrate how contextual bandit and graph convolutional networks can be adjusted to the new problem formulation. We then take the best of both approaches to develop multi-GCN embedded contextual bandit. Our algorithms are verified on several real world datasets.
