We show that Meta-Learning generalization to novel OOD task distributions can be inferred from the neural activation dynamics from a few unlabeled examples, and we propose Activation-Based Early-Stopping (ABE).

Tu veux agir contre la crise climatique? Une grande campagne se met en branle à travers le Québec pour s’attaquer au premier problème climatique au pays : Les énergies fossiles.

Le Canada émet la majorité de ses GES par ses exportations de pétrole et de gaz vers l’étranger. Mais le gouvernement refuse de les prendre en compte.

Cette année : exigez, en trois clics, que ces émissions soient incluses dans le Plafonnement des GES👉https://t.co/5qDHAKwaj2

Scaling Laws for the Few-Shot Adaptation of Pre-trained Image Classifiers

scaling the training set size improves few-shot performance and can be well approximated via power laws

Hello World! We are finally on Twitter!

@ChandarLab is a research group based in @polymtl
and @Mila_Quebec led by @apsarathchandar.

Our work focuses on #LifelongLearning, #DeepLearning, #ReinforcementLearning, and #NLProc.

Follow us for the latest news on our work!

[Sarath Chandar @apsarathchandar]

We are grateful to the support from @polymtl, @MILAMontreal, @CIFAR_News, and @NSERC_CRSNG!

URGENT. Make noise about Belarus. Tell your friends in the media. Rubber bullets and flash grenades are used against people in the streets.

[Sarath Chandar @apsarathchandar]

I am teaching a new graduate-level Machine Learning course @polymtl / @MILAMontreal in Fall 2020 - https://t.co/bkLPVdEqAT. The course is online. If you are a student in any of the Quebec Universities, you can register for the course here: https://t.co/ZY1p8AlelY

@david_rolnick @mcgillu @MILAMontreal Glad to have you with us David! :)

BREAKING: We're receiving reports that at least one protester was abducted off the streets today by unmarked “officers” — this time in New York City.

These dangerous, abusive, and indefensible actions must stop. Law enforcement must be held accountable.

The new @MILAMontreal research blog is out!

[Ankesh Anand @ankesh_anand]

We've got a research blog set up now! It will host short and accessible summaries of work that comes out of @MILAMontreal!

I'm increasingly concerned about the exponential cost of #AI. #gpt3 from @openAI is amazing, but training it takes 355 years on a single GPU and costs $4.6M on current GPU cloud clusters. Do we really want a world where only a few rich companies can use SoA #AI?

Come tomorrow at #ICML 4th Lifelong Learning Workshop!

I'll be online all day from 7AM EDT, to present and discuss my work:
"Towards an Unsupervised Method for Model Selection in Few-Shot Learning"

See 5min video: https://t.co/LBJrG9LmVr

Looking forward to those discussions :)

Our paper is at #ICML2020 - Lifelong Learning Workshop!

Do we need labeled data from held-out classes for model selection in Few-shot Meta-Learning? Our method doesn’t. Using all available data for training, results show it can outperform meta-validation.
