We introduce a DNN training technique that learns only a fraction of the full parameter set without incurring an accuracy penalty. To do this, our algorithm constrains the total number of weights updated during backpropagation to those with…

Structural model pruning is a prominent approach used for reducing the computational cost of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) before their deployment on resource-constrained devices. Yet, the majority of proposed ideas require a…

In general, deep neural network (DNN) pruning methods fall into two categories: 1) Weight-based deterministic constraints, and 2) Probabilistic frameworks. While each approach has its merits and limitations there are a set of common…

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are applied in a wide range of usecases. There is an increased demand for deploying DNNs on devices that do not have abundant resources such as memory and computation units. Recently, network compression through…

Robustness and compactness are two essential attributes of deep learning models that are deployed in the real world. The goals of robustness and compactness may seem to be at odds, since robustness requires generalization across domains,…

Neural networks have achieved remarkable performance in various application domains. Nevertheless, a large number of weights in pre-trained deep neural networks prohibit them from being deployed on smartphones and embedded systems. It is…

Continual Learning (CL) is a highly relevant setting gaining traction in recent machine learning research. Among CL works, architectural and hybrid strategies are particularly effective due to their potential to adapt the model architecture…

Pruning seeks to design lightweight architectures by removing redundant weights in overparameterized networks. Most of the existing techniques first remove structured sub-networks (filters, channels,...) and then fine-tune the resulting…

As deep neural networks are increasingly used in applications suited for low-power devices, a fundamental dilemma becomes apparent: the trend is to grow models to absorb increasing data that gives rise to memory intensive; however low-power…

Introduced in the late 1980s for generalization purposes, pruning has now become a staple for compressing deep neural networks. Despite many innovations in recent decades, pruning approaches still face core issues that hinder their…

Machine learning pipelines for classification tasks often train a universal model to achieve accuracy across a broad range of classes. However, a typical user encounters only a limited selection of classes regularly. This disparity provides…

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have become a widely deployed model for numerous machine learning applications. However, their fixed architecture, substantial training cost, and significant model redundancy make it difficult to efficiently…

Pruning methods have shown to be effective at reducing the size of deep neural networks while keeping accuracy almost intact. Among the most effective methods are those that prune a network while training it with a sparsity prior loss and…

Large Vision Language Models show impressive performance across image and video understanding tasks, yet their computational cost grows rapidly with the number of visual tokens. Existing token pruning methods mitigate this issue through…

Causal structure learning, also known as causal discovery, aims to estimate causal relationships between variables as a form of a causal directed acyclic graph (DAG) from observational data. One of the major frameworks is the order-based…
