Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are usually over-parameterized, which cannot be easily deployed on edge devices such as mobile phones and smart cameras. Existing works used to decrease the number or size of requested convolution…

Recent years have seen a flurry of activities in designing provably efficient nonconvex procedures for solving statistical estimation problems. Due to the highly nonconvex nature of the empirical loss, state-of-the-art procedures often…

In Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based image processing, most of the studies propose networks that are optimized for a single-level (or a single-objective); thus, they underperform on other levels and must be retrained for delivery of…

Matrix learning is at the core of many machine learning problems. A number of real-world applications such as collaborative filtering and text mining can be formulated as a low-rank matrix completion problem, which recovers incomplete…
