Here, we apply our recently developed Bayesian grouped mixture of regressions model (GMRM) in the UK and Estonian Biobanks and obtain the highest genomic prediction accuracy reported to date across 21 heritable traits. When compared to other approaches, GMRM accuracy was greater than annotation prediction models run in the LDAK or LDPred-funct software by 15% (SE 7%) and 14% (SE 2%), respectively, and was 18% (SE 3%) greater than a baseline BayesR model without single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers grouped into minor allele frequency–linkage disequilibrium (MAF-LD) annotation categories. For height, the prediction accuracy R 2 was 47% in a UK Biobank holdout sample, which was 76% of the estimated h SNP 2 . We then extend our GMRM prediction model to provide mixed-linear model association (MLMA) SNP marker estimates for genome-wide association (GWAS) discovery, which increased the independent loci detected to 16,162 in unrelated UK Biobank individuals, compared to 10,550 from BoltLMM and 10,095 from Regenie, a 62 and 65% increase, respectively. The average χ2 value of the leading markers increased by 15.24 (SE 0.41) for every 1% increase in prediction accuracy gained over a baseline BayesR model across the traits. Thus, we show that modeling genetic associations accounting for MAF and LD differences among SNP markers, and incorporating prior knowledge of genomic function, is important for both genomic prediction and discovery in large-scale individual-level studies. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Etienne full_name: Orliac, Etienne last_name: Orliac - first_name: Daniel full_name: Trejo Banos, Daniel last_name: Trejo Banos - first_name: Sven full_name: Ojavee, Sven last_name: Ojavee - first_name: Kristi full_name: Läll, Kristi last_name: Läll - first_name: Reedik full_name: Mägi, Reedik last_name: Mägi - first_name: Peter full_name: Visscher, Peter last_name: Visscher - first_name: Matthew Richard full_name: Robinson, Matthew Richard id: E5D42276-F5DA-11E9-8E24-6303E6697425 last_name: Robinson orcid: 0000-0001-8982-8813 citation: ama: Orliac E, Trejo Banos D, Ojavee S, et al.

However, so far, their importance relative to the remaining genome remains largely unknown. Understanding the genetic architecture of adaptation requires better estimates of how loci of different effect sizes contribute to phenotypic variation. Here, we used three Swedish islands where the marine snail Littorina saxatilis has repeatedly evolved into two distinct ecotypes along a habitat transition. We estimated the contribution of inversion polymorphisms to phenotypic divergence while controlling for polygenic effects in the remaining genome using a quantitative genetics framework. We confirmed the importance of inversions but showed that contributions of loci outside inversions are of similar magnitude, with variable proportions dependent on the trait and the population. Some inversions showed consistent effects across all sites, whereas others exhibited site-specific effects, indicating that the genomic basis for replicated phenotypic divergence is only partly shared. The contributions of sexual dimorphism as well as environmental factors to phenotypic variation were significant but minor compared to inversions and polygenic background. Overall, this integrated approach provides insight into the multiple mechanisms contributing to parallel phenotypic divergence. article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Eva full_name: Koch, Eva last_name: Koch - first_name: Mark full_name: Ravinet, Mark last_name: Ravinet - first_name: Anja M full_name: Westram, Anja M id: 3C147470-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Westram orcid: 0000-0003-1050-4969 - first_name: Kerstin full_name: Jonannesson, Kerstin last_name: Jonannesson - first_name: Roger full_name: Butlin, Roger last_name: Butlin citation: ama: 'Koch E, Ravinet M, Westram AM, Jonannesson K, Butlin R.

This is especially notable for spatial navigation, as first described by Tolman’s latent learning tasks. However, predictive learning has also been observed in sensory cortex, in settings unrelated to spatial navigation. Apart from normative frameworks such as active inference or efficient coding, what could be the utility of learning to predict the patterns of occurrence of correlated stimuli? Here we show that prediction, and thereby the construction of an internal model of sequential stimuli, can bootstrap the learning process of a working memory task in a recurrent neural network. We implemented predictive learning alongside working memory match-tasks, and networks emerged to solve the prediction task first by encoding information across time to predict upcoming stimuli, and then eavesdropped on this solution to solve the matching task. Eavesdropping was most beneficial when neural resources were limited. Hence, predictive learning acts as a general neural mechanism to learn to store sensory information that can later be essential for working memory tasks. acknowledgement: "The authors would like to thank members of the Vogels lab and Manohar lab, as well as Adam Packer, Andrew Saxe, Stefano Sarao Mannelli and Jacob Bakermans for fruitful discussions and comments on earlier versions of the manuscript.\r\nTLvdP was supported by funding from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) [grant number BB/M011224/1].

As a well-established model system, U. maydis is genetically fully accessible with large omics datasets available and subject to various biological questions ranging from DNA-repair, RNA-transport, and protein secretion to disease biology. For many genetic approaches, tight control of transgene regulation is important. Here we established an optimised version of the Tetracycline-ON (TetON) system for U. maydis. We demonstrate the Tetracycline concentration-dependent expression of fluorescent protein transgenes and the system’s suitability for the induced expression of the toxic protein BCL2 Associated X-1 (Bax1). The Golden Gate compatible vector system contains a native minimal promoter from the mating factor a-1 encoding gene, mfa with ten copies of the tet-regulated operator (tetO) and a codon optimised Tet-repressor (tetR*) which is translationally fused to the native transcriptional corepressor Mql1 (UMAG_05501). The metabolism-independent transcriptional regulator system is functional both, in liquid culture as well as on solid media in the presence of the inducer and can become a useful tool for toxin-antitoxin studies, identification of antifungal proteins, and to study functions of toxic gene products in Ustilago maydis. acknowledgement: "The research leading to these results received funding from the European Research Council under the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme ERC-2013-STG (grant agreement: 335691), the Austrian Science Fund (I 3033-B22), the Austrian Academy of Sciences, and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) under Germany's Excellence Strategy EXC-2070-390732324 (PhenoRob) and DFG grant (DJ 64/5-1).\r\nWe would like to thank the GMI/IMBA/IMP core facilities for their excellent technical support.

Many approaches for training fair models from data have been developed and an implicit assumption about such algorithms is that they are able to recover a fair model, despite potential historical biases in the data. In this work we show a number of impossibility results that indicate that there is no learning algorithm that can recover a fair model when a proportion of the dataset is subject to arbitrary manipulations. Specifically, we prove that there are situations in which an adversary can force any learner to return a biased classifier, with or without degrading accuracy, and that the strength of this bias increases for learning problems with underrepresented protected groups in the data. Our results emphasize on the importance of studying further data corruption models of various strength and of establishing stricter data collection practices for fairness-aware learning. acknowledgement: "This paper is a shortened, workshop version of Konstantinov and Lampert (2021),\r\nhttps://arxiv.org/abs/2102.06004.

Existing CGM variants for this template either suffer from slow convergence rates, or require carefully increasing the batch size over the course of the algorithm’s execution, which leads to computing full gradients. In contrast, the proposed method, equipped with a stochastic average gradient (SAG) estimator, requires only one sample per iteration. Nevertheless, it guarantees fast convergence rates on par with more sophisticated variance reduction techniques. In applications we put special emphasis on problems with a large number of separable constraints. Such problems are prevalent among semidefinite programming (SDP) formulations arising in machine learning and theoretical computer science. We provide numerical experiments on matrix completion, unsupervised clustering, and sparsest-cut SDPs.

This task is particularly challenging on two levels: (1) it requires more information than what is contained in the instant retina or imaging sensor, (2) it is difficult to obtain enough well-annotated amodal labels for supervision. To this end, this paper develops a new framework of\r\nSelf-supervised amodal Video object segmentation (SaVos). Our method efficiently leverages the visual information of video temporal sequences to infer the amodal mask of objects. The key intuition is that the occluded part of an object can be explained away if that part is visible in other frames, possibly deformed as long as the deformation can be reasonably learned.\r\nAccordingly, we derive a novel self-supervised learning paradigm that efficiently utilizes the visible object parts as the supervision to guide the training on videos. In addition to learning type prior to complete masks for known types, SaVos also learns the spatiotemporal prior, which is also useful for the amodal task and could generalize to unseen types. The proposed\r\nframework achieves the state-of-the-art performance on the synthetic amodal segmentation benchmark FISHBOWL and the real world benchmark KINS-Video-Car. Further, it lends itself well to being transferred to novel distributions using test-time adaptation, outperforming existing models even after the transfer to a new distribution." article_processing_charge: No arxiv: 1 author: - first_name: Jian full_name: Yao, Jian last_name: Yao - first_name: Yuxin full_name: Hong, Yuxin last_name: Hong - first_name: Chiyu full_name: Wang, Chiyu last_name: Wang - first_name: Tianjun full_name: Xiao, Tianjun last_name: Xiao - first_name: Tong full_name: He, Tong last_name: He - first_name: Francesco full_name: Locatello, Francesco id: 26cfd52f-2483-11ee-8040-88983bcc06d4 last_name: Locatello orcid: 0000-0002-4850-0683 - first_name: David full_name: Wipf, David last_name: Wipf - first_name: Yanwei full_name: Fu, Yanwei last_name: Fu - first_name: Zheng full_name: Zhang, Zheng last_name: Zhang citation: ama: 'Yao J, Hong Y, Wang C, et al.

Contrary to this, we find that applying existing fairness approaches to computer vision improve fairness by degrading the performance of classifiers across all groups (with increased degradation on the best performing groups). Extending the bias-variance decomposition for classification to fairness, we theoretically explain why the majority of fairness methods designed for low capacity models should not be used in settings involving high-capacity models, a scenario common to computer vision. We corroborate this analysis with extensive experimental support that shows that many of the fairness heuristics used in computer vision also degrade performance on the most disadvantaged groups. Building on these insights, we propose an adaptive augmentation strategy that, uniquely, of all methods tested, improves performance for the disadvantaged groups. article_processing_charge: No arxiv: 1 author: - first_name: Dominik full_name: Zietlow, Dominik last_name: Zietlow - first_name: Michael full_name: Lohaus, Michael last_name: Lohaus - first_name: Guha full_name: Balakrishnan, Guha last_name: Balakrishnan - first_name: Matthaus full_name: Kleindessner, Matthaus last_name: Kleindessner - first_name: Francesco full_name: Locatello, Francesco id: 26cfd52f-2483-11ee-8040-88983bcc06d4 last_name: Locatello orcid: 0000-0002-4850-0683 - first_name: Bernhard full_name: Scholkopf, Bernhard last_name: Scholkopf - first_name: Chris full_name: Russell, Chris last_name: Russell citation: ama: 'Zietlow D, Lohaus M, Balakrishnan G, et al.

General\r\npurpose models typically make few assumptions about the underlying\r\ndata-structure and are known to perform well in the large-data regime. At the\r\nsame time, there has been growing interest in modular neural architectures that\r\nrepresent the data using sparsely interacting modules. These models can be more\r\nrobust out-of-distribution, computationally efficient, and capable of\r\nsample-efficient adaptation to new data. However, they tend to make\r\ndomain-specific assumptions about the data, and present challenges in how\r\nmodule behavior (i.e., parameterization) and connectivity (i.e., their layout)\r\ncan be jointly learned. In this work, we introduce a general purpose, yet\r\nmodular neural architecture called Neural Attentive Circuits (NACs) that\r\njointly learns the parameterization and a sparse connectivity of neural modules\r\nwithout using domain knowledge. NACs are best understood as the combination of\r\ntwo systems that are jointly trained end-to-end: one that determines the module\r\nconfiguration and the other that executes it on an input. We demonstrate\r\nqualitatively that NACs learn diverse and meaningful module configurations on\r\nthe NLVR2 dataset without additional supervision. Quantitatively, we show that\r\nby incorporating modularity in this way, NACs improve upon a strong non-modular\r\nbaseline in terms of low-shot adaptation on CIFAR and CUBs dataset by about\r\n10%, and OOD robustness on Tiny ImageNet-R by about 2.5%. Further, we find that\r\nNACs can achieve an 8x speedup at inference time while losing less than 3%\r\nperformance. Finally, we find NACs to yield competitive results on diverse data\r\nmodalities spanning point-cloud classification, symbolic processing and\r\ntext-classification from ASCII bytes, thereby confirming its general purpose\r\nnature." alternative_title: - ' Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems' article_processing_charge: No arxiv: 1 author: - first_name: Nasim full_name: Rahaman, Nasim last_name: Rahaman - first_name: Martin full_name: Weiss, Martin last_name: Weiss - first_name: Francesco full_name: Locatello, Francesco id: 26cfd52f-2483-11ee-8040-88983bcc06d4 last_name: Locatello orcid: 0000-0002-4850-0683 - first_name: Chris full_name: Pal, Chris last_name: Pal - first_name: Yoshua full_name: Bengio, Yoshua last_name: Bengio - first_name: Bernhard full_name: Schölkopf, Bernhard last_name: Schölkopf - first_name: Li Erran full_name: Li, Li Erran last_name: Li - first_name: Nicolas full_name: Ballas, Nicolas last_name: Ballas citation: ama: 'Rahaman N, Weiss M, Locatello F, et al.

This inductive bias can be injected into neural networks to potentially improve systematic generalization and performance of downstream tasks in scenes with multiple objects. In this paper, we train state-of-the-art unsupervised models on five common multi-object datasets and evaluate segmentation metrics and downstream object property prediction. In addition, we study generalization and robustness by investigating the settings where either a single object is out of distribution -- e.g., having an unseen color, texture, or shape -- or global properties of the scene are altered -- e.g., by occlusions, cropping, or increasing the number of objects. From our experimental study, we find object-centric representations to be useful for\r\ndownstream tasks and generally robust to most distribution shifts affecting objects. However, when the distribution shift affects the input in a less structured manner, robustness in terms of segmentation and downstream task performance may vary significantly across models and distribution shifts.

In this paper, we test whether 17 unsupervised, weakly supervised, and fully supervised representation learning approaches correctly infer the generative factors of variation in simple datasets (dSprites, Shapes3D, MPI3D) from controlled environments, and on our contributed CelebGlow dataset. In contrast to prior robustness work that introduces novel factors of variation during test time, such as blur or other (un)structured noise, we here recompose, interpolate, or extrapolate only existing factors of variation from the training data set (e.g., small and medium-sized objects during training and large objects during testing). Models\r\nthat learn the correct mechanism should be able to generalize to this benchmark. In total, we train and test 2000+ models and observe that all of them struggle to learn the underlying mechanism regardless of supervision signal and architectural bias. Moreover, the generalization capabilities of all tested models drop significantly as we move from artificial datasets towards\r\nmore realistic real-world datasets. Despite their inability to identify the correct mechanism, the models are quite modular as their ability to infer other in-distribution factors remains fairly stable, providing only a single factoris out-of-distribution.

One particularly promising approach is to begin with low-dimensional, pretrained representations of our world, which should facilitate efficient downstream learning and generalization. By training 240 representations and over 10,000 reinforcement learning (RL) policies on a simulated robotic setup, we evaluate to what extent different properties of\r\npretrained VAE-based representations affect the OOD generalization of downstream agents. We observe that many agents are surprisingly robust to realistic distribution shifts, including the challenging sim-to-real case. In addition, we find that the generalization performance of a simple downstream proxy task reliably predicts the generalization performance of our RL agents\r\nunder a wide range of OOD settings.

Recent deep learning approaches for trajectory prediction show promising performance and partially attribute this to successful reasoning about agent-agent interactions. However, it remains unclear which features such black-box models actually learn to use for making predictions. This paper proposes a procedure that quantifies the contributions\r\nof different cues to model performance based on a variant of Shapley values. Applying this procedure to state-of-the-art trajectory prediction methods on standard benchmark datasets shows that they are, in fact, unable to reason about interactions. Instead, the past trajectory of the target is the only feature used for predicting its future. For a task with richer social\r\ninteraction patterns, on the other hand, the tested models do pick up such interactions to a certain extent, as quantified by our feature attribution method. We discuss the limits of the proposed method and its links to causality." article_processing_charge: No arxiv: 1 author: - first_name: Osama full_name: Makansi, Osama last_name: Makansi - first_name: Julius von full_name: Kügelgen, Julius von last_name: Kügelgen - first_name: Francesco full_name: Locatello, Francesco id: 26cfd52f-2483-11ee-8040-88983bcc06d4 last_name: Locatello orcid: 0000-0002-4850-0683 - first_name: Peter full_name: Gehler, Peter last_name: Gehler - first_name: Dominik full_name: Janzing, Dominik last_name: Janzing - first_name: Thomas full_name: Brox, Thomas last_name: Brox - first_name: Bernhard full_name: Schölkopf, Bernhard last_name: Schölkopf citation: ama: 'Makansi O, Kügelgen J von, Locatello F, et al.

However, collaboration between these actors is difficult due to the heterogeneous nature of geospatial data modalities (e.g., multi-spectral images of various resolutions, timeseries, weather data) and diversity of tasks (e.g., regression of human activity indicators or detecting forest fires). In this work, we present a roadmap towards the construction of a general-purpose neural architecture (GPNA) with a geospatial inductive bias, pre-trained on large amounts of unlabelled earth observation data in a self-supervised manner. We envision how such a model may facilitate cooperation between members of the community. We show preliminary results on the first step of the roadmap, where we instantiate an architecture that can process a wide variety of geospatial data modalities and demonstrate that it can achieve competitive performance with domain-specific architectures on tasks relating to the U.N.'s Sustainable Development Goals. article_processing_charge: No arxiv: 1 author: - first_name: Nasim full_name: Rahaman, Nasim last_name: Rahaman - first_name: Martin full_name: Weiss, Martin last_name: Weiss - first_name: Frederik full_name: Träuble, Frederik last_name: Träuble - first_name: Francesco full_name: Locatello, Francesco id: 26cfd52f-2483-11ee-8040-88983bcc06d4 last_name: Locatello orcid: 0000-0002-4850-0683 - first_name: Alexandre full_name: Lacoste, Alexandre last_name: Lacoste - first_name: Yoshua full_name: Bengio, Yoshua last_name: Bengio - first_name: Chris full_name: Pal, Chris last_name: Pal - first_name: Li Erran full_name: Li, Li Erran last_name: Li - first_name: Bernhard full_name: Schölkopf, Bernhard last_name: Schölkopf citation: ama: 'Rahaman N, Weiss M, Träuble F, et al.

LiT improved this by only training the text encoder and using a pre-trained vision network. In this paper, we show that a common space can be created without any training at all, using single-domain encoders (trained with or without supervision) and a much smaller amount of image-text pairs. Furthermore, our model has unique properties. Most notably, deploying a new version with updated training samples can be done in a matter of seconds. Additionally, the representations in the common space are easily interpretable as every dimension corresponds to the similarity of the input to a unique entry in the multimodal dataset. Experiments on standard zero-shot visual benchmarks demonstrate the typical transfer ability of image-text models. Overall, our method represents a simple yet surprisingly strong baseline for foundation multi-modal models, raising important questions on their data efficiency and on the role of retrieval in machine learning. article_number: '2210.01738' article_processing_charge: No arxiv: 1 author: - first_name: Antonio full_name: Norelli, Antonio last_name: Norelli - first_name: Marco full_name: Fumero, Marco last_name: Fumero - first_name: Valentino full_name: Maiorca, Valentino last_name: Maiorca - first_name: Luca full_name: Moschella, Luca last_name: Moschella - first_name: Emanuele full_name: Rodolà, Emanuele last_name: Rodolà - first_name: Francesco full_name: Locatello, Francesco id: 26cfd52f-2483-11ee-8040-88983bcc06d4 last_name: Locatello orcid: 0000-0002-4850-0683 citation: ama: 'Norelli A, Fumero M, Maiorca V, Moschella L, Rodolà E, Locatello F.
