• Authors: Lukas Muttenthaler and Lorenz Linhardt and Jonas Dippel and Robert A. Vandermeulen and Katherine Hermann and Andrew K. Lampinen and Simon Kornblith
• Abstract summary: We study the impact of supervising a global structure by linearly aligning it with human similarity judgments. We propose a novel method that aligns the global structure of representations while preserving their local structure. Our results indicate that human visual representations are globally organized in a way that facilitates learning from few examples.

• Abstract: Deep neural networks have reached human-level performance on many computer vision tasks. However, the objectives used to train these networks enforce only that similar images are embedded at similar locations in the representation space, and do not directly constrain the global structure of the resulting space. Here, we explore the impact of supervising this global structure by linearly aligning it with human similarity judgments. We find that a naive approach leads to large changes in local representational structure that harm downstream performance. Thus, we propose a novel method that aligns the global structure of representations while preserving their local structure. This global-local transform considerably improves accuracy across a variety of few-shot learning and anomaly detection tasks. Our results indicate that human visual representations are globally organized in a way that facilitates learning from few examples, and incorporating this global structure into neural network representations improves performance on downstream tasks.

• Generalization emerges from local optimization in a self-organized learning network [0.0]
  We design and analyze a new paradigm for building supervised learning networks, driven only by local optimization rules without relying on a global error function. Our network stores new knowledge in the nodes accurately and instantaneously, in the form of a lookup table. We show on numerous examples of classification tasks that the networks generated by our algorithm systematically reach such a state of perfect generalization when the number of learned examples becomes sufficiently large. We report on the dynamics of the change of state and show that it is abrupt and has the distinctive characteristics of a first order phase transition, a phenomenon already observed for traditional learning networks and known as grokking.

  Current state-of-the-art visual recognition systems rely on pretraining a neural network on a large-scale dataset and finetuning the network weights on a smaller dataset. In this work, we prove that dynamically adapting network architectures tailored for each domain task along with weight finetuning benefits in both efficiency and effectiveness. Our method can be easily generalized to an unsupervised paradigm by replacing supernet training with self-supervised learning in the source domain tasks and performing linear evaluation in the downstream tasks.

  Training networks to perform metric relocalization traditionally requires accurate image correspondences. We propose a self-supervised solution, which exploits a key insight: localizing a query image within a map should yield the same absolute pose, regardless of the reference image used for registration. We evaluate our framework on synthetic and real-world data, showing our approach outperforms other supervised methods when a limited amount of ground-truth information is available.
