Robustness against unwanted perturbations is an important aspect of deploying neural network classifiers in the real world. Common natural perturbations include noise, saturation, occlusion, viewpoint changes, and blur deformations. All of…

Several useful variance-reduced stochastic gradient algorithms, such as SVRG, SAGA, Finito, and SAG, have been proposed to minimize empirical risks with linear convergence properties to the exact minimizer. The existing convergence results…

Stochastic variance reduced gradient (SVRG) is an accelerated version of stochastic gradient descent based on variance reduction, and is promising for solving large-scale inverse problems. In this work, we analyze SVRG and a regularized…

Structured pruning is an effective compression technique to reduce the computation of neural networks, which is usually achieved by adding perturbations to reduce network parameters at the cost of slightly increasing training loss. A more…

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are currently dominating in modeling graph-structure data, while their high reliance on graph structure for inference significantly impedes them from widespread applications. By contrast, Graph-regularized MLPs…

Deep generative models (DGMs) are data-eager because learning a complex model on limited data suffers from a large variance and easily overfits. Inspired by the classical perspective of the bias-variance tradeoff, we propose regularized…

Acquisition of training data for the standard semantic segmentation is expensive if requiring that each pixel is labeled. Yet, current methods significantly deteriorate in weakly supervised settings, e.g. where a fraction of pixels is…

Robust quantization improves the tolerance of networks for various implementations, allowing reliable output in different bit-widths or fragmented low-precision arithmetic. In this work, we perform extensive analyses to identify the sources…

Fine-grained visual classification can be addressed by deep representation learning under supervision of manually pre-defined targets (e.g., one-hot or the Hadamard codes). Such target coding schemes are less flexible to model inter-class…

Modern deep learning (DL) architectures are trained using variants of the SGD algorithm that is run with a $\textit{manually}$ defined learning rate schedule, i.e., the learning rate is dropped at the pre-defined epochs, typically when the…
