    Sequential Batch Learning in Finite-Action Linear Contextual Bandits

    We study the sequential batch learning problem in linear contextual bandits with finite action sets, where the decision maker is constrained to split incoming individuals into (at most) a fixed number of batches and can only observe outcomes for the individuals within a batch at the batch's end. Compared with both standard online contextual-bandit learning and offline policy learning in contextual bandits, this s

    Partial FC: Training 10 Million Identities on a Single Machine

    Training face recognition models with millions of identities is challenging because classifier storage, logit memory, and computation grow linearly with the number of classes, eventually making full softmax impractical even when the backbone itself fits comfortably in memory. We present Partial FC (PFC), a scalable approximation to large-class softmax that preserves every positive class center while activating only a

    The Less Intelligent the Elements, the More Intelligent the Whole. Or, Possibly Not?

    From neural networks to the immune system to agent-based models, connectionism aims at deriving complex behavior from relatively simple components. However, one unsettled question is how ``intelligent'' these components should be, and in what ways their local intelligence relates to the emergence of collective intelligence. I approach this problem by endowing the preys and predators of the Lotka-Volterra mode

    Confidence intervals for the random forest generalization error

    We show that the byproducts of the standard training process of a random forest yield not only the well known and almost computationally free out-of-bag point estimate of the model generalization error, but also give a direct path to compute confidence intervals for the generalization error which avoids processes of data splitting and model retraining. Besides the low computational cost involved in their construction
