UniPELT: A Unified Framework for Parameter-Efficient Language Model Tuning

1 code implementation ACL 2022 Yuning Mao, Lambert Mathias, Rui Hou, Amjad Almahairi, Hao Ma, Jiawei Han, Wen-tau Yih, Madian Khabsa

Recent parameter-efficient language model tuning (PELT) methods manage to match the performance of fine-tuning with much fewer trainable parameters and perform especially well when training data is limited.

Adversarial Computation of Optimal Transport Maps

1 code implementation24 Jun 2019 Jacob Leygonie, Jennifer She, Amjad Almahairi, Sai Rajeswar, Aaron Courville

We show that during training, our generator follows the $W_2$-geodesic between the initial and the target distributions.

A Closer Look at the Optimization Landscapes of Generative Adversarial Networks

1 code implementation ICLR 2020 Hugo Berard, Gauthier Gidel, Amjad Almahairi, Pascal Vincent, Simon Lacoste-Julien

Generative adversarial networks have been very successful in generative modeling, however they remain relatively challenging to train compared to standard deep neural networks.

W2GAN: RECOVERING AN OPTIMAL TRANSPORT MAP WITH A GAN

no code implementations27 Sep 2018 Leygonie Jacob*, Jennifer She*, Amjad Almahairi, Sai Rajeswar, Aaron Courville

In this work we address the converse question: is it possible to recover an optimal map in a GAN fashion?

Learning Distributed Representations from Reviews for Collaborative Filtering

no code implementations18 Jun 2018 Amjad Almahairi, Kyle Kastner, Kyunghyun Cho, Aaron Courville

However, interestingly, the greater modeling power offered by the recurrent neural network appears to undermine the model's ability to act as a regularizer of the product representations.

Augmented CycleGAN: Learning Many-to-Many Mappings from Unpaired Data

3 code implementations ICML 2018 Amjad Almahairi, Sai Rajeswar, Alessandro Sordoni, Philip Bachman, Aaron Courville

Learning inter-domain mappings from unpaired data can improve performance in structured prediction tasks, such as image segmentation, by reducing the need for paired data.

Calibrating Energy-based Generative Adversarial Networks

1 code implementation6 Feb 2017 Zihang Dai, Amjad Almahairi, Philip Bachman, Eduard Hovy, Aaron Courville

In this paper, we propose to equip Generative Adversarial Networks with the ability to produce direct energy estimates for samples. Specifically, we propose a flexible adversarial training framework, and prove this framework not only ensures the generator converges to the true data distribution, but also enables the discriminator to retain the density information at the global optimal.
