Recent studies on deep convolutional neural networks present a simple paradigm of architecture design, i.e., models with more MACs typically achieve better accuracy, such as EfficientNet and RegNet. These works try to enlarge all the stages in the model with one unified rule by sampling and statistical methods. However, we observe that some network architectures have similar MACs and accuracies, but their allocations on computations for different stages are quite different. In this paper, we propose to enlarge the capacity of CNN models by improving their width, depth and resolution on stage level. Under the assumption that the top-performing smaller CNNs are a proper subcomponent of the top-performing larger CNNs, we propose an greedy network enlarging method based on the reallocation of computations. With step-by-step modifying the computations on different stages, the enlarged network will be equipped with optimal allocation and utilization of MACs. On EfficientNet, our method consistently outperforms the performance of the original scaling method. In particular, with application of our method on GhostNet, we achieve state-of-the-art 80.9% and 84.3% ImageNet top-1 accuracies under the setting of 600M and 4.4B MACs, respectively.

A video prediction model that generalizes to diverse scenes would enable intelligent agents such as robots to perform a variety of tasks via planning with the model. However, while existing video prediction models have produced promising results on s
mall datasets, they suffer from severe underfitting when trained on large and diverse datasets. To address this underfitting challenge, we first observe that the ability to train larger video prediction models is often bottlenecked by the memory constraints of GPUs or TPUs. In parallel, deep hierarchical latent variable models can produce higher quality predictions by capturing the multi-level stochasticity of future observations, but end-to-end optimization of such models is notably difficult. Our key insight is that greedy and modular optimization of hierarchical autoencoders can simultaneously address both the memory constraints and the optimization challenges of large-scale video prediction. We introduce Greedy Hierarchical Variational Autoencoders (GHVAEs), a method that learns high-fidelity video predictions by greedily training each level of a hierarchical autoencoder. In comparison to state-of-the-art models, GHVAEs provide 17-55% gains in prediction performance on four video datasets, a 35-40% higher success rate on real robot tasks, and can improve performance monotonically by simply adding more modules.
We study the problem of identifying the causal relationship between two discrete random variables from observational data. We recently proposed a novel framework called entropic causality that works in a very general functional model but makes the as
sumption that the unobserved exogenous variable has small entropy in the true causal direction. This framework requires the solution of a minimum entropy coupling problem: Given marginal distributions of m discrete random variables, each on n states, find the joint distribution with minimum entropy, that respects the given marginals. This corresponds to minimizing a concave function of nm variables over a convex polytope defined by nm linear constraints, called a transportation polytope. Unfortunately, it was recently shown that this minimum entropy coupling problem is NP-hard, even for 2 variables with n states. Even representing points (joint distributions) over this space can require exponential complexity (in n, m) if done naively. In our recent work we introduced an efficient greedy algorithm to find an approximate solution for this problem. In this paper we analyze this algorithm and establish two results: that our algorithm always finds a local minimum and also is within an additive approximation error from the unknown global optimum.
This paper investigates the problem of distributed network-wide averaging and proposes a new greedy gossip algorithm. Instead of finding the optimal path of each node in a greedy manner, the proposed approach utilises a suboptimal communication path
by performing greedy selection among randomly selected active local nodes. Theoretical analysis on convergence speed is also performed to investigate the characteristics of the proposed algorithm. The main feature of the new algorithm is that it provides great flexibility and well balance between communication cost and convergence performance introduced by the stochastic sampling strategy. Extensive numerical simulations are performed to validate the analytic findings.
Convolutional neural networks are able to learn realistic image priors from numerous training samples in low-level image generation and restoration. We show that, for high-level image recognition tasks, we can further reconstruct realistic images of
each category by leveraging intrinsic Batch Normalization (BN) statistics without any training data. Inspired by the popular VAE/GAN methods, we regard the zero-shot optimization process of synthetic images as generative modeling to match the distribution of BN statistics. The generated images serve as a calibration set for the following zero-shot network quantizations. Our method meets the needs for quantizing models based on sensitive information, textit{e.g.,} due to privacy concerns, no data is available. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets show that, with the help of generated data, our approach consistently outperforms existing data-free quantization methods.
Given a trained network, how can we accelerate it to meet efficiency needs for deployment on particular hardware? The commonly used hardware-aware network compression techniques address this question with pruning, kernel fusion, quantization and lowe
ring precision. However, these approaches do not change the underlying network operations. In this paper, we propose hardware-aware network transformation (HANT), which accelerates a network by replacing inefficient operations with more efficient alternatives using a neural architecture search like approach. HANT tackles the problem in two phase: In the first phase, a large number of alternative operations per every layer of the teacher model is trained using layer-wise feature map distillation. In the second phase, the combinatorial selection of efficient operations is relaxed to an integer optimization problem that can be solved in a few seconds. We extend HANT with kernel fusion and quantization to improve throughput even further. Our experimental results on accelerating the EfficientNet family show that HANT can accelerate them by up to 3.6x with <0.4% drop in the top-1 accuracy on the ImageNet dataset. When comparing the same latency level, HANT can accelerate EfficientNet-B4 to the same latency as EfficientNet-B1 while having 3% higher accuracy. We examine a large pool of operations, up to 197 per layer, and we provide insights into the selected operations and final architectures.
