Thank Alex for his great efforts and work ethic. Thank @damienteney.bsky.social and @lucascimeca.bsky.social for their continued help with this paper. We’ll humbly address the criticisms to improve it further for future opportunities.

Seong Joon Oh @coallaoh.bsky.social · 23/01/2025
We were a bit unlucky with the reviewers - one voted for acceptance, while the other two remained silent during the discussion phase. What matters, though, is knowing this is solid work and the method works. That’s how we survive the review process.

Seong Joon Oh @coallaoh.bsky.social · 23/01/2025
- Outcome: Scaled ensemble diversification to ImageNet level, achieving improved OOD generalisation and detection.

Seong Joon Oh @coallaoh.bsky.social · 23/01/2025
Rejected at #ICLR2025: Scalable Ensemble Diversification for OOD Generalisation and Detection - Current approach: Ensemble diversification relies on a separate source of OOD samples for training models to diversify outputs. - Ours: Use samples from the training set itself to diversify ensembles.

If you can't wait for the arXiv version, check out the ICLR forum: openreview.net/forum?id=ByC... PS: This paper had 6 reviewers, unanimously voting for acceptance eventually (score 6+). Such luck is rare for me 😅 I'm glad that the hard work paid off, @auselis.bsky.social. Let's arXiv it!

Another #ICLR2025 paper: Intermediate Layer Classifiers for OOD generalization - Common approach: Use penultimate-layer features of pre-trained models for downstream tasks. - Our recommendation: Explore lower-layer features. You'll likely find better layers for OOD generalisation.

I.e., at a reasonable width (no wideresnet), solutions already form a star domain. Side note: We developed a method for finding the "star model", a special solution connected to all other solutions. I couldn't resist naming it "NeuralStarLink" but fortunately the first author Ankit held me back :)

Finally accepted! #ICLR2025 Do Deep Neural Network Solutions Form a Star Domain? - Known: as DNN width --> infty, solutions become convex modulo permutations of neurons. - What's new: as DNN width --> infty, solutions **first form a star domain** and then a convex domain modulo permutations.

Seong Joon Oh @coallaoh.bsky.social · 18/12/2024
My hope is to introduce a new paradigm for human-ML communication. One that is intuitive, efficient, and versatile. What are your thoughts? Could this perspective unlock entirely new possibilities for generalisation and human-ML collaboration? 🚀 7/8
120
Seong Joon Oh @coallaoh.bsky.social · 18/12/2024
Could hybrid approaches be the answer? - Combining few-shot examples with instructions. - Pairing task vectors with parameter tuning. - Using interactive labelling systems to create an active, feedback-driven dialogue between humans and machines. 6/8
110
Seong Joon Oh @coallaoh.bsky.social · 18/12/2024
Here’s the challenge: current communication options (primarily either examples or language) feel incomplete. They often lack efficiency, clarity, or adaptability. Surely, there must be better ways. 5/8
110
Seong Joon Oh @coallaoh.bsky.social · 18/12/2024
This viewpoint shifts the focus away from the narrow goal of "achieving the best generalisation on unseen data" to rethinking human-machine communication itself. 4/8
110
Seong Joon Oh @coallaoh.bsky.social · 18/12/2024
- Few-shot learning: Humans convey tasks using a small set of examples. - Instructions (zero-shot, LLMs, CLIP): Humans describe tasks using natural language. - Model selection: Humans decide on the most suitable model for the task, sometimes supported by few-shot examples. 3/8

Seong Joon Oh @coallaoh.bsky.social · 18/12/2024
Generalisation is fundamentally about translating human intention into a form that ML models can understand. From this perspective, we can reinterpret common learning scenarios as different modes of communication: 2/8

Seong Joon Oh @coallaoh.bsky.social · 18/12/2024
What if we viewed ML generalisation not just as a machine's ability to perform well on unseen data, but as a form of human-to-ML communication? 1/8
