How to reduce the requirement on training dataset size is a hot topic in deep learning community. One straightforward way is to reuse some pre-trained parameters. Some previous work like Deep transfer learning reuse the model parameters…

A widely believed explanation for the remarkable generalization capacities of overparameterized neural networks is that the optimization algorithms used for training induce an implicit bias towards benign solutions. To grasp this…

Representing signals using coordinate networks dominates the area of inverse problems recently, and is widely applied in various scientific computing tasks. Still, there exists an issue of spectral bias in coordinate networks, limiting the…

In training neural networks, batch normalization has many benefits, not all of them entirely understood. But it also has some drawbacks. Foremost is arguably memory consumption, as computing the batch statistics requires all instances…

Conventional model quantization methods use a fixed quantization scheme to different data samples, which ignores the inherent "recognition difficulty" differences between various samples. We propose to feed different data samples with…

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have been widely used in software making decisions impacting people's lives. However, they have been found to exhibit severe erroneous behaviors that may lead to unfortunate outcomes. Previous work shows that…

Weight norm $\|w\|$ and margin $\gamma$ participate in learning theory via the normalized margin $\gamma/\|w\|$. Since standard neural net optimizers do not control normalized margin, it is hard to test whether this quantity causally…

Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) has been the dominant optimization method for training deep neural networks due to its many desirable properties. One of the more remarkable and least understood quality of SGD is that it generalizes…

Regularization is commonly used for alleviating overfitting in machine learning. For convolutional neural networks (CNNs), regularization methods, such as DropBlock and Shake-Shake, have illustrated the improvement in the generalization…

Despite remarkable improvements in speed and accuracy, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) still typically operate as monolithic entities at inference time. This poses a challenge for resource-constrained practical applications, where both…

We present Sandwich Batch Normalization (SaBN), a frustratingly easy improvement of Batch Normalization (BN) with only a few lines of code changes. SaBN is motivated by addressing the inherent feature distribution heterogeneity that one can…

In this paper, we study the generalization properties of neural networks under input perturbations and show that minimal training data corruption by a few pixel modifications can cause drastic overfitting. We propose an evolutionary…

Quantized Neural Networks (QNNs) use low bit-width fixed-point numbers for representing weight parameters and activations, and are often used in real-world applications due to their saving of computation resources and reproducibility of…

Our understanding of the generalization capabilities of neural networks (NNs) is still incomplete. Prevailing explanations are based on implicit biases of gradient descent (GD) but they cannot account for the capabilities of models from…

Weight-sharing quantization has emerged as a technique to reduce energy expenditure during inference in large neural networks by constraining their weights to a limited set of values. However, existing methods for weight-sharing…
