Adagan: Boosting generative models

…, O Bousquet, CJ Simon-Gabriel… - Advances in neural …, 2017 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) are an effective method for training generative models
of complex data such as natural images. However, they are notoriously hard to train and …

Assaying out-of-distribution generalization in transfer learning

…, P Gehler, CJ Simon-Gabriel… - Advances in …, 2022 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Since out-of-distribution generalization is a generally ill-posed problem, various proxy targets
(eg, calibration, adversarial robustness, algorithmic corruptions, invariance across shifts) …

Bridging the gap to real-world object-centric learning

…, D Zietlow, T Xiao, CJ Simon-Gabriel… - The Eleventh …, 2022 - openreview.net
Humans naturally decompose their environment into entities at the appropriate level of
abstraction to act in the world. Allowing machine learning algorithms to derive this decomposition …

From optimal transport to generative modeling: the VEGAN cookbook

…, S Gelly, I Tolstikhin, CJ Simon-Gabriel… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2017 - arxiv.org
We study unsupervised generative modeling in terms of the optimal transport (OT) problem
between true (but unknown) data distribution $P_X$ and the latent variable model …

First-order adversarial vulnerability of neural networks and input dimension

CJ Simon-Gabriel, Y Ollivier, L Bottou… - International …, 2019 - proceedings.mlr.press
Over the past few years, neural networks were proven vulnerable to adversarial images:
targeted but imperceptible image perturbations lead to drastically different predictions. We show …

Kernel distribution embeddings: Universal kernels, characteristic kernels and kernel metrics on distributions

CJ Simon-Gabriel, B Schölkopf - Journal of Machine Learning Research, 2018 - jmlr.org
Kernel mean embeddings have become a popular tool in machine learning. They map
probability measures to functions in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. The distance between …

Modeling confounding by half-sibling regression

…, D Janzing, CJ Simon-Gabriel… - Proceedings of the …, 2016 - National Acad Sciences
We describe a method for removing the effect of confounders to reconstruct a latent quantity
of interest. The method, referred to as “half-sibling regression,” is inspired by recent work in …

Metrizing weak convergence with maximum mean discrepancies

CJ Simon-Gabriel, A Barp, B Schölkopf… - Journal of Machine …, 2023 - jmlr.org
… explicitly point out the flaw in the proof of Claim 2 by Simon-Gabriel and Schölkopf (2018). …
The flaw in the proof of Theorem 12 of Simon-Gabriel and Schölkopf (2018) (our Claim 2) …

Adversarial vulnerability of neural networks increases with input dimension

CJ Simon-Gabriel, Y Ollivier, L Bottou, B Schölkopf… - 2018 - openreview.net
Over the past four years, neural networks have been proven vulnerable to adversarial images:
targeted but imperceptible image perturbations lead to drastically different predictions. We …

Targeted separation and convergence with kernel discrepancies

A Barp, CJ Simon-Gabriel, M Girolami… - … 2022 Workshop on …, 2022 - openreview.net
Kernel Stein discrepancies (KSDs) are maximum mean discrepancies (MMDs) that leverage
the score information of distributions, and have grown central to a wide range of applications…
