Non-Stationary Learning of Neural Networks with Automatic Soft Parameter Reset

2024-11-06 · Alexandre Galashov, Michalis K. Titsias, András György, Clare Lyle, Razvan Pascanu, Yee Whye Teh, Maneesh Sahani

Neural networks are traditionally trained under the assumption that data come from a stationary distribution. However, settings which violate this assumption are becoming more popular; examples include supervised learning under distributional shifts, reinforcement learning, continual learning and non-stationary contextual bandits. In this work we introduce a novel learning approach that automatically models and adapts to non-stationarity, via an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process with an adaptive drift parameter. The adaptive drift tends to draw the parameters towards the initialisation distribution, so the approach can be understood as a form of soft parameter reset. We show empirically that our approach performs well in non-stationary supervised and off-policy reinforcement learning settings.

Passive soft-reset controllers for nonlinear systems

2021-04-23 · Justin H. Le, Andrew R. Teel

Soft-reset controllers are introduced as a way to approximate hard-reset controllers. The focus is on implementing reset controllers that are (strictly) passive and on analyzing their interconnection with passive plants.…

Fat Tails and Black Swans: Exact Results for Multiplicative Processes with Resets

2021-05-25 · Damián H. Zanette, Susanna Manrubia

We consider a class of multiplicative processes which, added with stochastic reset events, give origin to stationary distributions with power-law tails -- ubiquitous in the statistics of social, economic, and ecological …

Ridge Regression from Poisson Resetting: A Renewal Perspective on Spectral Regularization

2026-05-28 · Petar Jolakoski arxiv

We connect stochastic resetting from non-equilibrium statistical physics with ridge regularization in statistical learning. For linear gradient flow, resetting to the origin at rate $r$ produces stationary mean $(X^\top …

Adaptive Strategy for Resetting a Non-stationary Markov Chain during Learning via Joint Stochastic Approximation

In this paper, we tackle the non-stationary kernel problem of the JSA algorithm by Ou and Song 2020, a recent proposal that learns a deep generative model $p_\theta(\mathbf{x},\mathbf{h})$ and a corresponding approximate…

Geometric Brownian Motion under Stochastic Resetting: A Stationary yet Non-ergodic Process

2021-04-04 · Viktor Stojkoski, Trifce Sandev, Ljupco Kocarev, Arnab Pal

We study the effects of stochastic resetting on geometric Brownian motion (GBM), a canonical stochastic multiplicative process for non-stationary and non-ergodic dynamics. Resetting is a sudden interruption of a process,…
