New Framework Improves Partial Multi-View Clustering Performance.
DAS-PMVC is a novel framework for partial multi-view clustering that addresses view asymmetry and irrelevant samples by leveraging dual alignment and structure enhancement. It uses anchor graph structure alignment, structure-enhanced feature learning, and a dual alignment strategy to achieve superior clustering performance on various datasets.
Dual Teachers Improve Adversarial Robustness and Accuracy.
This work extends Information Bottleneck Distillation (IBD) by introducing a "clean teacher" alongside a robust teacher to improve the robustness/accuracy tradeoff against adversarial attacks. The proposed method transfers features from both teachers to a student model, achieving better clean accuracy while maintaining adversarial robustness, outperforming original IBD and competing with state-of-the-art approaches.
Dynamic Batch Sizes Improve Large Language Model Training Efficiency.
This paper proposes a new approach to deep learning dynamics, deriving joint scaling laws for loss based on both learning rate and batch size schedules. It introduces an optimal dynamic batch size schedule that consistently outperforms static batch size baselines, highlighting its importance for large language model training.
