| Sep 28, 2025 | Now accepted to NeurIPS 2025: multi-modal contrastive learning adapts to intrinsic dimensions. We present a theoretical analysis of CLIP, showing how temperature optimization enables adaptation to the intrinsic dimension of shared features in multi-modal data. A more recent work proposes IndiSeek which learns modality-specific features that are independent of shared features. |

| Jul 10, 2024 | A new preprint iso-DRL on how to utilize side information (e.g. shape constraints) to balance the misspecification of sample reweighting and the over-pessimism of distributionally robust learning! As an application, iso-DRL suggests a robust approach to calibrate estimated density ratios in reweighting approaches. |
