Facilitating Bayesian Continual Learning by Natural Gradients and Stein Gradients

2019-04-24 · Yu Chen, Tom Diethe, Neil Lawrence

Continual learning aims to enable machine learning models to learn a general solution space for past and future tasks in a sequential manner. Conventional models tend to forget the knowledge of previous tasks while learning a new task, a phenomenon known as catastrophic forgetting. When using Bayesian models in continual learning, knowledge from previous tasks can be retained in two ways: 1). posterior distributions over the parameters, containing the knowledge gained from inference in previous tasks, which then serve as the priors for the following task; 2). coresets, containing knowledge of data distributions of previous tasks. Here, we show that Bayesian continual learning can be facilitated in terms of these two means through the use of natural gradients and Stein gradients respectively.

Learning with Differentially Private (Sliced) Wasserstein Gradients

2025-02-03 · David Rodríguez-Vítores, Clément Lalanne, Jean-Michel Loubes

In this work, we introduce a novel framework for privately optimizing objectives that rely on Wasserstein distances between data-dependent empirical measures. Our main theoretical contribution is, based on an explicit fo…
