The Lottery Ticket Hypothesis (LTH) states that for a reasonably sized neural network, a sub-network within the same network yields no less performance than the dense counterpart when trained from the same initialization. This work…

Large-scale pre-training has recently revolutionized vision-and-language (VL) research. Models such as LXMERT and UNITER have significantly lifted the state of the art over a wide range of VL tasks. However, the large number of parameters…

Recently many plug-and-play self-attention modules (SAMs) are proposed to enhance the model generalization by exploiting the internal information of deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs). In general, previous works ignore where to plug…

Modern deep learning involves training costly, highly overparameterized networks, thus motivating the search for sparser networks that can still be trained to the same accuracy as the full network (i.e. matching). Iterative magnitude…

Sparse shrunk additive models and sparse random feature models have been developed separately as methods to learn low-order functions, where there are few interactions between variables, but neither offers computational efficiency. On the…

Deep neural networks are effective feature extractors but they are prohibitively large for deployment scenarios. Due to the huge number of parameters, interpretability of parameters in different layers is not straight-forward. This is why…

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are known to be vulnerable to adversarial attacks, i.e., an imperceptible perturbation to the input can mislead DNNs trained on clean images into making erroneous predictions. To tackle this, adversarial training…

Network pruning is a promising way to generate light but accurate models and enable their deployment on resource-limited edge devices. However, the current state-of-the-art assumes that the effective sub-network and the other superfluous…

The remarkable performance of modern deep neural networks (DNNs) is largely driven by their massive scale, often comprising tens to hundreds of millions-or even billions-of parameters. However, such a scale incurs substantial storage and…

The Lottery Ticket Hypothesis (LTH) suggests there exists a sparse LTH mask and weights that achieve the same generalization performance as the dense model while using significantly fewer parameters. However, finding a LTH solution is…
