Learning to Auto Weight: Entirely Data-driven and Highly Efficient Weighting Framework
Example weighting algorithm is an effective solution to the training bias
problem, however, most previous typical methods are usually limited to human
knowledge and require laborious tuning of hyperparameters. In this paper, we
propose a novel example weighting framework called Learning to Auto Weight
(LAW). The proposed framework finds step-dependent weighting policies
adaptively, and can be jointly trained with target networks without any
assumptions or prior knowledge about the dataset. It consists of three key
components: Stage-based Searching Strategy (3SM) is adopted to shrink the huge
searching space in a complete training process; Duplicate Network Reward (DNR)
gives more accurate supervision by removing randomness during the searching
process; Full Data Update (FDU) further improves the updating efficiency.
Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of weighting policy explored
by LAW over standard training pipeline. Compared with baselines, LAW can find a
better weighting schedule which achieves much more superior accuracy on both
biased CIFAR and ImageNet.Comment: Accepted by AAAI 202
Interaction induced decay of a heteronuclear two-atom system
Two-atom systems in small traps are of fundamental interest, first of all for
understanding the role of interactions in degenerate cold gases and for the
creation of quantum gates in quantum information processing with single-atom
traps. One of the key quantities is the inelastic relaxation (decay) time when
one of the atoms or both are in a higher hyperfine state. Here we measure this
quantity in a heteronuclear system of Rb and Rb in a micro
optical trap and demonstrate experimentally and theoretically the presence of
both fast and slow relaxation processes, depending on the choice of the initial
hyperfine states. The developed experimental method allows us to single out a
particular relaxation process and, in this sense, our experiment is a
"superclean platform" for collisional physics studies. Our results have also
implications for engineering of quantum states via controlled collisions and
creation of two-qubit quantum gates.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figure
