• Abstract: By leveraging the kernel trick in the output space, kernel-induced losses provide a principled way to define structured output prediction tasks for a wide variety of output modalities. In particular, they have been successfully used in the context of surrogate non-parametric regression, where the kernel trick is typically exploited in the input space as well. However, when inputs are images or texts, more expressive models such as deep neural networks seem more suited than non-parametric methods. In this work, we tackle the question of how to train neural networks to solve structured output prediction tasks, while still benefiting from the versatility and relevance of kernel-induced losses. We design a novel family of deep neural architectures, whose last layer predicts in a data-dependent finite-dimensional subspace of the infinite-dimensional output feature space deriving from the kernel-induced loss. This subspace is chosen as the span of the eigenfunctions of a randomly-approximated version of the empirical kernel covariance operator. Interestingly, this approach unlocks the use of gradient descent algorithms (and consequently of any neural architecture) for structured prediction. Experiments on synthetic tasks as well as real-world supervised graph prediction problems show the relevance of our method.

  We introduce a novel framework in which a structured loss function, parameterized by neural networks, is learned directly from output training data. As a result, the differentiable loss not only enables the learning of neural networks due to the finite dimension of the surrogate space but also allows for the prediction of new structures of the output data.

Recent work has resorted to a parametric approach, i.e., training neural networks to approximate the eigenfunctions. We show that these problems can be fixed by using a new series of objective functions that generalizes to space of supervised and unsupervised learning problems.

  A powerful and flexible approach to structured prediction consists in embedding the structured objects to be predicted into a feature space of possibly infinite dimension. A prediction in the original space is computed by solving a pre-image problem. In this work, we propose to jointly learn a finite approximation of the output embedding and the regression function into the new feature space.
