Progressive Neural Network Learning is a class of algorithms that incrementally construct the networks topology and optimize its parameters based on the training data. While this approach exempts the users from the manual task of designing and validating multiple network topologies, it often requires an enormous number of computations. In this paper, we propose to speed up this process by exploiting subsets of training data at each incremental training step. Three different sampling strategies for selecting the training samples according to different criteria are proposed and evaluated. We also propose to perform online hyperparameter selection during the network progression, which further reduces the overall training time. Experimental results in object, scene and face recognition problems demonstrate that the proposed approach speeds up the optimization procedure considerably while operating on par with the baseline approach exploiting the entire training set throughout the training process.

Determinantal point processes (DPPs) are well known models for diverse subset selection problems, including recommendation tasks, document summarization and image search. In this paper, we discuss a greedy deterministic adaptation of k-DPP. Determini stic algorithms are interesting for many applications, as they provide interpretability to the user by having no failure probability and always returning the same results. First, the ability of the method to yield low-rank approximations of kernel matrices is evaluated by comparing the accuracy of the Nystrom approximation on multiple datasets. Afterwards, we demonstrate the usefulness of the model on an image search task.
This work views neural networks as data generating systems and applies anomalous pattern detection techniques on that data in order to detect when a network is processing an anomalous input. Detecting anomalies is a critical component for multiple ma chine learning problems including detecting adversarial noise. More broadly, this work is a step towards giving neural networks the ability to recognize an out-of-distribution sample. This is the first work to introduce Subset Scanning methods from the anomalous pattern detection domain to the task of detecting anomalous input of neural networks. Subset scanning treats the detection problem as a search for the most anomalous subset of node activations (i.e., highest scoring subset according to non-parametric scan statistics). Mathematical properties of these scoring functions allow the search to be completed in log-linear rather than exponential time while still guaranteeing the most anomalous subset of nodes in the network is identified for a given input. Quantitative results for detecting and characterizing adversarial noise are provided for CIFAR-10 images on a simple convolutional neural network. We observe an interference pattern where anomalous activations in shallow layers suppress the activation structure of the original image in deeper layers.
Formal verification of neural networks is essential for their deployment in safety-critical areas. Many available formal verification methods have been shown to be instances of a unified Branch and Bound (BaB) formulation. We propose a novel framewor k for designing an effective branching strategy for BaB. Specifically, we learn a graph neural network (GNN) to imitate the strong branching heuristic behaviour. Our framework differs from previous methods for learning to branch in two main aspects. Firstly, our framework directly treats the neural network we want to verify as a graph input for the GNN. Secondly, we develop an intuitive forward and backward embedding update schedule. Empirically, our framework achieves roughly $50%$ reduction in both the number of branches and the time required for verification on various convolutional networks when compared to the best available hand-designed branching strategy. In addition, we show that our GNN model enjoys both horizontal and vertical transferability. Horizontally, the model trained on easy properties performs well on properties of increased difficulty levels. Vertically, the model trained on small neural networks achieves similar performance on large neural networks.
Semi-supervised learning algorithms typically construct a weighted graph of data points to represent a manifold. However, an explicit graph representation is problematic for neural networks operating in the online setting. Here, we propose a feed-for ward neural network capable of semi-supervised learning on manifolds without using an explicit graph representation. Our algorithm uses channels that represent localities on the manifold such that correlations between channels represent manifold structure. The proposed neural network has two layers. The first layer learns to build a representation of low-dimensional manifolds in the input data as proposed recently in [8]. The second learns to classify data using both occasional supervision and similarity of the manifold representation of the data. The channel carrying label information for the second layer is assumed to be silent most of the time. Learning in both layers is Hebbian, making our network design biologically plausible. We experimentally demonstrate the effect of semi-supervised learning on non-trivial manifolds.
Traffic forecasting is a particularly challenging application of spatiotemporal forecasting, due to the time-varying traffic patterns and the complicated spatial dependencies on road networks. To address this challenge, we learn the traffic network a s a graph and propose a novel deep learning framework, Traffic Graph Convolutional Long Short-Term Memory Neural Network (TGC-LSTM), to learn the interactions between roadways in the traffic network and forecast the network-wide traffic state. We define the traffic graph convolution based on the physical network topology. The relationship between the proposed traffic graph convolution and the spectral graph convolution is also discussed. An L1-norm on graph convolution weights and an L2-norm on graph convolution features are added to the models loss function to enhance the interpretability of the proposed model. Experimental results show that the proposed model outperforms baseline methods on two real-world traffic state datasets. The visualization of the graph convolution weights indicates that the proposed framework can recognize the most influential road segments in real-world traffic networks.
