Redundant Representation

Redundant representation in machine learning focuses on mitigating the inefficiencies arising from multiple, overlapping features or model components within a system. Current research explores methods to reduce redundancy through techniques like optimized indexing for approximate nearest neighbor search, ensemble pruning using liquid democracy-inspired algorithms, and masked quantization for autoregressive image generation. These efforts aim to improve model efficiency, reduce computational costs, and enhance performance by focusing on the most informative features, ultimately leading to faster and more accurate models across various applications, including image processing and natural language processing.
