Graph Neural Networks for Road Safety Modeling: Datasets and Evaluations for Accident Analysis

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2023 Abhinav Nippani, Dongyue Li, Haotian Ju, Haris N. Koutsopoulos, Hongyang R. Zhang

This paper constructs a large-scale, unified dataset of traffic accident records from official reports of various states in the US, totaling 9 million records, accompanied by road networks and traffic volume reports.

Boosting Multitask Learning on Graphs through Higher-Order Task Affinities

3 code implementations24 Jun 2023 Dongyue Li, Haotian Ju, Aneesh Sharma, Hongyang R. Zhang

Lastly, we provide a theoretical analysis to show that under a planted block model of tasks on graphs, our affinity scores can provably separate tasks into groups.

Noise Stability Optimization for Flat Minima with Tight Rates

no code implementations14 Jun 2023 Haotian Ju, Dongyue Li, Hongyang R. Zhang

It leads to a 17. 7% (and 12. 8%) reduction in the trace (and largest eigenvalue) of the Hessian matrix of the loss surface.

Identification of Negative Transfers in Multitask Learning Using Surrogate Models

2 code implementations25 Mar 2023 Dongyue Li, Huy L. Nguyen, Hongyang R. Zhang

This problem is computationally challenging since the number of subsets grows exponentially with the number of source tasks; efficient heuristics for subset selection do not always capture the relationship between task subsets and multitask learning performances.

Robust Fine-Tuning of Deep Neural Networks with Hessian-based Generalization Guarantees

3 code implementations6 Jun 2022 Haotian Ju, Dongyue Li, Hongyang R. Zhang

We study the generalization properties of fine-tuning to understand the problem of overfitting, which has often been observed (e. g., when the target dataset is small or when the training labels are noisy).

Improved Group Robustness via Classifier Retraining on Independent Splits

1 code implementation20 Apr 2022 Thien Hang Nguyen, Hongyang R. Zhang, Huy Le Nguyen

Given a limited amount of group labels at training time, Just Train Twice (Liu et al., 2021), or JTT in short, is a two-stage method that infers a pseudo group label for every unlabeled example first, then applies group DRO based on the inferred group labels.

Correct-N-Contrast: A Contrastive Approach for Improving Robustness to Spurious Correlations

1 code implementation3 Mar 2022 Michael Zhang, Nimit S. Sohoni, Hongyang R. Zhang, Chelsea Finn, Christopher Ré

As ERM models can be good spurious attribute predictors, CNC works by (1) using a trained ERM model's outputs to identify samples with the same class but dissimilar spurious features, and (2) training a robust model with contrastive learning to learn similar representations for same-class samples.

Improved Regularization and Robustness for Fine-tuning in Neural Networks

1 code implementation NeurIPS 2021 Dongyue Li, Hongyang R. Zhang

We present a PAC-Bayes generalization bound that depends on the distance traveled in each layer during fine-tuning and the noise stability of the fine-tuned model.

Precise High-Dimensional Asymptotics for Quantifying Heterogeneous Transfers

no code implementations22 Oct 2020 Fan Yang, Hongyang R. Zhang, Sen Wu, Christopher Ré, Weijie J. Su

Intuitively, the transfer effect from one task to another task depends on dataset shifts such as sample sizes and covariance matrices.
