Optimization Without Retraction on the Random Generalized Stiefel Manifold

Machine Learning Research at Apple

Optimization over the set of matrices X that satisfy X^TBX = Ip, referred to as the generalized Stiefel manifold, appears in many applications involving sampled covariance matrices such as the canonical correlation analysis (CCA), independent component analysis (ICA), and the generalized eigenvalue problem (GEVP). Solving these problems is typically done by iterative methods that require a fully formed B.

Revisiting Non-separable Binary Classification and its Applications in Anomaly Detection

Machine Learning Research at Apple

The inability to linearly classify XOR has motivated much of deep learning. We revisit this age-old problem and show that linear classification of XOR is indeed possible. Instead of separating data between halfspaces, we propose a slightly different paradigm, equality separation, that adapts the SVM objective to distinguish data within or outside the margin.

How Far Can Transformers Reason? The Locality Barrier and Inductive Scratchpad

Machine Learning Research at Apple

Can Transformers predict new syllogisms by composing established ones? More generally, what type of targets can be learned by such models from scratch? Recent works show that Transformers can be Turing-complete in terms of expressivity, but this does not address the learnability objective. This paper puts forward the notion of distribution locality to capture when weak learning is efficiently achievable by regular Transformers, where the locality measures the least number of tokens required in a
