Sequential computation via autoregressive generation can make difficult tasks learnable, but the generation order of intermediate states strongly affects whether training succeeds. We address the problem of discovering a learning-friendly…

The increasing complexity of deep learning models and the demand for processing vast amounts of data make the utilization of large-scale distributed systems for efficient training essential. These systems, however, face significant…

Matrix factorization is an important representation learning algorithm, e.g., recommender systems, where a large matrix can be factorized into the product of two low dimensional matrices termed as latent representations. This paper…

The convergence of SGD based distributed training algorithms is tied to the data distribution across workers. Standard partitioning techniques try to achieve equal-sized partitions with per-class population distribution in proportion to the…

Erasure coding has been recognized as a powerful method to mitigate delays due to slow or straggling nodes in distributed systems. This work shows that erasure coding of data objects can flexibly handle skews in the request rates. Coding…

Predictive coding (PC) is a general theory of cortical function. The local, gradient-based learning rules found in one kind of PC model have recently been shown to closely approximate backpropagation. This finding suggests that this…

The surrogate gradient descent algorithm enabled spiking neural networks to be trained to carry out challenging sensory processing tasks, an important step in understanding how spikes contribute to neural computations. However, it is…

In this paper we consider distributed optimization problems in which the cost function is separable, i.e., a sum of possibly non-smooth functions all sharing a common variable, and can be split into a strongly convex term and a convex one.…

Dynamic programming on tree decompositions is a frequently used approach to solve otherwise intractable problems on instances of small treewidth. In recent work by Bodlaender et al., it was shown that for many connectivity problems, there…

Stochastic optimization problems often involve data distributions that change in reaction to the decision variables. This is the case for example when members of the population respond to a deployed classifier by manipulating their features…

We present a novel distributed computing framework that is robust to slow compute nodes, and is capable of both approximate and exact computation of linear operations. The proposed mechanism integrates the concepts of randomized sketching…

Efficiently allocating incoming jobs to nodes in large-scale clusters can lead to substantial improvements in both cluster utilization and job performance. In order to allocate incoming jobs, cluster schedulers usually rely on a set of…

Distributed storage systems provide reliable access to data through redundancy spread over individually unreliable nodes. Application scenarios include data centers, peer-to-peer storage systems, and storage in wireless networks. Storing…

With an increasing demand for training powers for deep learning algorithms and the rapid growth of computation resources in data centers, it is desirable to dynamically schedule different distributed deep learning tasks to maximize resource…

One of the most widely used methods for solving large-scale stochastic optimization problems is distributed asynchronous stochastic gradient descent (DASGD), a family of algorithms that result from parallelizing stochastic gradient descent…

Training a machine learning model is both compute and data-intensive. Most of the model training is performed on high performance compute nodes and the training data is stored near these nodes for faster training. But there is a growing…

We present a convolutional framework which significantly reduces the complexity and thus, the computational effort for distributed reinforcement learning control of dynamical systems governed by partial differential equations (PDEs).…

As an adaptive, interpretable, robust, and accurate meta-algorithm for arbitrary differentiable loss functions, gradient tree boosting is one of the most popular machine learning techniques, though the computational expensiveness severely…

Brain-inspired hyperdimensional computing (HDC) has been recently considered a promising learning approach for resource-constrained devices. However, existing approaches use static encoders that are never updated during the learning…

Learning good representations is essential for latent planning with world models. While pretrained visual encoders produce strong semantic visual features, they are not tailored to planning and contain information irrelevant -- or even…
