    Generative Modelling with Optimization for Molecule Discovery
    In recent years, discovering novel drug-like molecules become a common application of generative models. However, it is much harder to generate novel molecules that are at the same time optimized for being promising drug candidates. During …

    Spyros Mouselinos (University of Warsaw)
    Measuring CLEVRness: Black-box Testing of Visual Reasoning Models
    How can we measure the reasoning capabilities of intelligence systems? Visual question answering provides a convenient framework for testing the model's abilities by interrogating the model through questions about the scene. However, despite scores of …

    Michał Zawalski (Uniwerystet Warszawski)
    Gentle introduction to multi-agent reinforcement learning
    Recent studies show some impressive applications of reinforcement learning algorithms in sequential decision-making problems. In my talk, I will focus on problems that involve controlling a group of agents, i.e. multi-agent reinforcement learning. Though that …

    Jakub Świątkowski (Uniwerystet Warszawski)
    Tutorial on deep learning generative models for speech synthesis
    Speech synthesis has important applications in virtual assistants, voice interfaces, and accessibility. There has been rapid progress in the quality of speech synthesis systems in recent years thanks to deep learning generative models. In recent months, fully end-to-end neural generative approaches achieved for the first time human-level performance on challenging …

  • Dec. 16, 2021, 12:15 p.m.
    Jan Ludziejewski (Uniwerystet Warszawski)
    Towards Generative Music
    The OpenAI Jukebox was a groundbreaking model in sound generation and is still considered to be the state-of-the-art in the music modeling task. It consists of two separate networks, Vector Quantization Variational Autoencoder, which strongly compresses …

  • Dec. 2, 2021, 12:15 p.m.
    Piotr Tempczyk (Uniwersytet Warszawski)
    LIDL: Local Intrinsic Dimension estimation using approximate Likelihood
    Understanding how neural networks work is one of the most important questions in machine learning research. Their performance is connected with the shape of the data manifold. The structure of this manifold can be explored …

  • Nov. 18, 2021, 12:15 p.m.
    Michał Zając (Uniwersytet Jagielloński)
    Continual World: Continual learning meets reinforcement learning
    First, I'll introduce the setup of continual learning. I'll talk about how various methods mitigate catastrophic forgetting and improve forward transfer. I'll also show what are the trade-offs and requirements for continual learning methods. In …

  • Nov. 4, 2021, 12:15 p.m.
    Konrad Czechowski (Uniwerystet Warszawski)
    Subgoal Search For Complex Reasoning Tasks
    I will present our publication accepted to NeurIPS 2021. We proposed a method that improves search guided by neural networks in  combinatorially complex domains. Its key component is a learned  subgoal generator that produces a diversity of …

  • Oct. 21, 2021, 12:15 p.m.
    Łukasz Kuciński (IM PAN)
    Catalytic Role of Noise and Necessity of Inductive Biases in the Emergence of Compositional Communication
     We will talk about our recent compositionality paper accepted at NeurIPS 2021. Communication is compositional if complex signals can be represented as a combi-nation of simpler subparts. In this paper, we theoretically show that inductive biases …

  • June 17, 2021, 12:15 p.m.
    Sebastian Jaszczur
    Sparsity in Efficient Transformers
    Large Transformer models yield impressive results on many tasks, but are expensive to train, or even fine-tune, and so slow at decoding that their use and study becomes out of reach. We address this problem …

    Piotr Kozakowski
    Q-Value Weighted Regression: Reinforcement Learning with Limited Data
     Sample efficiency is a major challenge in the current Reinforcement Learning (RL) systems. Another is robustness - it is hard to find one RL algorithm that will perform well in a variety of settings. I …

  • March 25, 2021, 12:15 p.m.
    Bartłomiej Polaczyk
    Loss landscape of deep neural networks
    Finding the global minimum of a general non-convex function is in general an NP-complete problem. The optimization objective of deep neural networks (DNN) is not only non-convex but even non-smooth in case of ReLU activation …

    Piotr Tempczyk
    LIDL: Local Intrinsic Dimension estimation using Likelihood
    We investigate the problem of local intrinsic dimension (LID)estimation. LID of the data is the minimal number of coordinates which are necessary to describe the data point and its neighborhood without significant information loss. Existing methods for …
