On the Power of Decision Trees in Auto-Regressive Language Modeling
(Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM), 2024-09-27)Originally proposed for handling time series data, Auto-regressive Decision Trees (ARDTs) have not yet been explored for language modeling. This paper delves into both the theoretical and practical applications of ARDTs ... -
For HyperBFs AGOP is a greedy approximation to gradient descent
(Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM), 2024-07-13)The Average Gradient Outer Product (AGOP) provides a novel approach to feature learning in neural networks. We applied both AGOP and Gradient Descent to learn the matrix M in the Hyper Basis Function Network (HyperBF) and ... -
Compositional Sparsity of Learnable Functions
(Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM), 2024-02-08)Neural networks have demonstrated impressive success in various domains, raising the question of what fundamental principles underlie the effectiveness of the best AI systems and quite possibly of human intelligence. This ...
