• Abstract: Learning curves model a classifier's test error as a function of the number of training samples. Prior works show that learning curves can be used to select model parameters and extrapolate performance. We investigate how to use learning curves to evaluate design choices, such as pretraining, architecture, and data augmentation. We propose a method to robustly estimate learning curves, abstract their parameters into error and data-reliance, and evaluate the effectiveness of different parameterizations. Our experiments exemplify use of learning curves for analysis and yield several interesting observations.

  Recent data-privacy laws have sparked interest in machine unlearning. Challenge is to discard information about the forget'' data without altering knowledge about remaining dataset. We adopt a projected-gradient based learning method, named as Projected-Gradient Unlearning (PGU) We provide empirically evidence to demonstrate that our unlearning method can produce models that behave similar to models retrained from scratch across various metrics even when the training dataset is no longer accessible.

  Learning curves are a measure for how the performance of machine learning models improves given a certain volume of training data. Over a wide variety of applications and models it was observed that learning curves follow -- to a large extent -- a power law behavior. By estimating the learning curve of a model from training on small subsets of data only the best models need to be considered for training on the full dataset.

  We reformulate the recognition probabilities through included angles without re-balancing the classifier weights.

Our method is able to obtain the best performance among peer methods without pretraining on CIFAR10/100-LT and ImageNet-LT.

  We propose a new learning paradigm with graph representation and learning. Our framework contains two modules: 1) a backbone network (e.g., feedforward neural nets) as a lower model takes features as input and outputs predicted labels; 2) a graph neural network as an upper model learns to extrapolate embeddings for new features via message passing over a feature-data graph built from observed data.

  This review recounts the origins of the term, provides a formal definition of the learning curve, and briefly covers basics such as its estimation. We discuss empirical and theoretical evidence that supports well-behaved curves that often have the shape of a power law or an exponential. We draw specific attention to examples of learning curves that are ill-behaved, showing worse learning performance with more training data.

We describe a piecewise-linear curve-fitting algorithm that produces high-quality results efficiently and reliably across a broad range of use cases.
