Some conventional transforms such as Discrete Walsh-Hadamard Transform (DWHT) and Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) have been widely used as feature extractors in image processing but rarely applied in neural networks. However, we found that…

Deep clustering algorithms combine representation learning and clustering by jointly optimizing a clustering loss and a non-clustering loss. In such methods, a deep neural network is used for representation learning together with a…

The k-means algorithm can simplify large-scale spatial vectors, such as 2D geo-locations and 3D point clouds, to support fast analytics and learning. However, when processing large-scale datasets, existing k-means algorithms have been…

Training deep neural networks (DNNs) requires significantly more computation and memory than inference, making runtime adaptation of DNNs challenging on resource-limited IoT platforms. We propose InstantFT, an FPGA-based method for…

Modern transformer-based deep neural networks present unique technical challenges for effective acceleration in real-world applications. Apart from the vast amount of linear operations needed due to their sizes, modern transformer models…

In this paper, we introduce a novel type of Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU), called a Dual Rectified Linear Unit (DReLU). A DReLU, which comes with an unbounded positive and negative image, can be used as a drop-in replacement for a tanh…

Modern CNNs' high computational demands hinder edge deployment, as traditional ``hard'' sparsity (skipping mathematical zeros) loses effectiveness in deep layers or with smooth activations like Tanh. We propose a ``soft sparsity'' paradigm…

Clustering plays a crucial role in computer science, facilitating data analysis and problem-solving across numerous fields. By partitioning large datasets into meaningful groups, clustering reveals hidden structures and relationships within…

The rapid growth of machine learning has spurred legislative initiatives such as ``the Right to be Forgotten,'' allowing users to request data removal. In response, ``machine unlearning'' proposes the selective removal of unwanted data…

Different activation functions work best for different deep learning models. To exploit this, we leverage recent advancements in gradient-based search techniques for neural architectures to efficiently identify high-performing activation…

Activation functions play a critical role in the performance and behaviour of neural networks, significantly impacting their ability to learn and generalise. Traditional activation functions, such as ReLU, sigmoid, and tanh, have been…

Finding similar images is a necessary operation in many multimedia applications. Images are often represented and stored as a set of high-dimensional features, which are extracted using localized feature extraction algorithms. Locality…

The state-of-the-art approaches employ approximate computing to reduce the energy consumption of DNN hardware. Approximate DNNs then require extensive retraining afterwards to recover from the accuracy loss caused by the use of approximate…
