  • Complexity Matters: Dynamics of Feature Learning in the Presence of Spurious Correlations
    GuanWen Qiu, Da Kuang, Surbhi Goel ICML 2024
    TL:DR: The presence of a $\lambda$ correlated spurious features slows down the learning of core features in a ratio $4\lambda(1-\lambda)$.

  • Deep Tree Embedding: Reconstructing Phylogeny with Partial Information and Metric Learning
    GuanWen Qiu, Da Kuang, Junhyong Kim
    TL:DR: Metric learning effectively denoises features unrelated to the tree signal. With additional partial information about tree topology, the reconstruction accuracy improves significantly.
