Static sparse training aims to train sparse models from scratch, achieving remarkable results in recent years. A key design choice is given by the sparse initialization, which determines the trainable sub-network through a binary mask.…

The merits of fast convergence and potentially better performance of the weight normalization family have drawn increasing attention in recent years. These methods use standardization or normalization that changes the weight…

Regularization has long been utilized to learn sparsity in deep neural network pruning. However, its role is mainly explored in the small penalty strength regime. In this work, we extend its application to a new scenario where the…

Deep neural networks are over-parameterized, which implies that the number of parameters are much larger than the number of samples used to train the network. Even in such a regime deep architectures do not overfit. This phenomenon is an…

We consider learning deep neural networks (DNNs) that consist of low-precision weights and activations for efficient inference of fixed-point operations. In training low-precision networks, gradient descent in the backward pass is performed…

Nowadays, the number of layers and of neurons in each layer of a deep network are typically set manually. While very deep and wide networks have proven effective in general, they come at a high memory and computation cost, thus making them…

Geometry-aware optimizers such as Newton and natural gradient can improve conditioning in deep learning, but scalable variants such as K-FAC, Shampoo, and related preconditioners usually impose structural approximations early, often…

Many regression and classification procedures fit a parameterized function $f(x;w)$ of predictor variables $x$ to data $\{x_{i},y_{i}\}_1^N$ based on some loss criterion $L(y,f)$. Often, regularization is applied to improve accuracy by…

In many signal processing applications, one wishes to acquire images that are sparse in transform domains such as spatial finite differences or wavelets using frequency domain samples. For such applications, overwhelming empirical evidence…

Sparse representations of images are useful in many computer vision applications. Sparse coding with an $l_1$ penalty and a learned linear dictionary requires regularization of the dictionary to prevent a collapse in the $l_1$ norms of the…

Reinforcement learning (RL) is a key post-pretraining step for aligning large language models (LLMs) with complex tasks and human preferences. While it is often assumed that RL fine-tuning requires updating most of a model's parameters, we…

We demonstrate the possibility of what we call sparse learning: accelerated training of deep neural networks that maintain sparse weights throughout training while achieving dense performance levels. We accomplish this by developing sparse…
