Understanding generalization
… line of research aimed at understanding generalization through the lens of stability- the study of how variations on the inputs of a system can cause its outputs to change. We explore stability and generalization in two different directions. In the first direction we look at proving …

Generalization in Planning
… some point---consider the issues involved in generalization. In automated planning, where the objectives are to design systems that are capable of finding courses of action to achieve specific goals given a formal description of their environment, we can say that a system exhibits …

Reliability generalization: lapsus linguae
<p>This study examines the proposed Reliability Generalization (RG) method for studying reliability. RG employs the application of meta-analytic techniques similar to those used in validity generalization studies to examine reliability coefficients. This study explains why RG does not provide a …

Visibility computation through image generalization
<p>This dissertation introduces the image generalization paradigm for computing visibility. The paradigm is based on the observation that an image is a powerful tool for computing visibility. An image can be rendered efficiently with the support of graphics hardware and each of the millions of …

Verbal Conditioning and its Generalization
… experimental situation and to investigate its generalization to a similar activity. The purpose is then two-fold: (1) to obtain a measure of verbal conditioning, and (2) to investigate whether there is a relationship between increased verbal response (verbal conditioning) and a related type of …

Unforgettable Generalization in Language Models
… of whether a behavior can be forgotten; instead, generalization in forgetting is (weakly) predicted by the confidence of LMs’ initial task predictions and the variability of LM representations of training data, with low confidence and low variability both associated with greater generalization. …

COMPOSITIONAL GENERALIZATION IN INSTRUCTION FOLLOWING TASKS
… This dissertation studies the compositional generalization abilities of machine learning models in various instruction following tasks. We study the various dimensions of compositionality for a diverse set of instruction follow- ing tasks of varying complexity: semantic parsing in synthetic …

A Generalization of Linear Multistep Methods
<p>A generalization of the methods that are currently available to solve systems of ordinary differential equations is made. This generalization is made by constructing linear multistep methods from an arbitrary set of monotone interpolating and approximating functions. Local truncation error …

An Algebraic Generalization of Subelliptic Multipliers
In this thesis, we are primarily concerned with an algorithm, due to Kohn, for finding subelliptic multipliers in the theory of several complex variables. Kohn's work applies to rings of germs of smooth functions. A special case of it leads to an interesting algebraic procedure defined for the ring …

Cross Target Generalization for Stance Detection
… with respect to a given target. Cross-target generalization is a known problem in stance detection, where systems tend to perform poorly when exposed to targets unseen during training. Given that data annotation is expensive and time-consuming, finding ways to leverage other sources of …

Models of generalization in motor control
… of context, and proposes models of how these generalizations might be implemented. The investigation involved human psychophysics and simulations. The experimental paradigm was to study human neuromuscular adaptation to viscous force perturbation. When external perturbations were applied to …

Methods for Generalization Under Distribution Shift
… framework converts an out-of-support zero-shot generalization problem into an out-of-combination problem via a transductive reparameterization, which is possible under low-rank style conditions. We explore how this idea can be applied to domains like robotics, where the environment is changing, …

Optimization and Generalization of Minimax Algorithms
… focusing on algorithmic optimization and generalization performance. The first part of the thesis delves into the smooth convex-concave minimax problem, providing a unified analysis of widely used algorithms such as Extra-Gradient (EG) and Optimistic Gradient Descent Ascent (OGDA), whose …
