We present an efficient coresets-based neural network compression algorithm that sparsifies the parameters of a trained fully-connected neural network in a manner that provably approximates the networks output. Our approach is based on an importance sampling scheme that judiciously defines a sampling distribution over the neural network parameters, and as a result, retains parameters of high importance while discarding redundant ones. We leverage a novel, empirical notion of sensitivity and extend traditional coreset constructions to the application of compressing parameters. Our theoretical analysis establishes guarantees on the size and accuracy of the resulting compressed network and gives rise to generalization bounds that may provide new insights into the generalization properties of neural networks. We demonstrate the practical effectiveness of our algorithm on a variety of neural network configurations and real-world data sets.

In this paper, we study data-dependent generalization error bounds exhibiting a mild dependency on the number of classes, making them suitable for multi-class learning with a large number of label classes. The bounds generally hold for empirical mult i-class risk minimization algorithms using an arbitrary norm as regularizer. Key to our analysis are new structural results for multi-class Gaussian complexities and empirical $ell_infty$-norm covering numbers, which exploit the Lipschitz continuity of the loss function with respect to the $ell_2$- and $ell_infty$-norm, respectively. We establish data-dependent error bounds in terms of complexities of a linear function class defined on a finite set induced by training examples, for which we show tight lower and upper bounds. We apply the results to several prominent multi-class learning machines, exhibiting a tighter dependency on the number of classes than the state of the art. For instance, for the multi-class SVM by Crammer and Singer (2002), we obtain a data-dependent bound with a logarithmic dependency which significantly improves the previous square-root dependency. Experimental results are reported to verify the effectiveness of our theoretical findings.
In this paper, we derive generalization bounds for the two primary classes of graph neural networks (GNNs), namely graph convolutional networks (GCNs) and message passing GNNs (MPGNNs), via a PAC-Bayesian approach. Our result reveals that the maximum node degree and spectral norm of the weights govern the generalization bounds of both models. We also show that our bound for GCNs is a natural generalization of the results developed in arXiv:1707.09564v2 [cs.LG] for fully-connected and convolutional neural networks. For message passing GNNs, our PAC-Bayes bound improves over the Rademacher complexity based bound in arXiv:2002.06157v1 [cs.LG], showing a tighter dependency on the maximum node degree and the maximum hidden dimension. The key ingredients of our proofs are a perturbation analysis of GNNs and the generalization of PAC-Bayes analysis to non-homogeneous GNNs. We perform an empirical study on several real-world graph datasets and verify that our PAC-Bayes bound is tighter than others.
Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are among the most popular models in sequential data analysis. Yet, in the foundational PAC learning language, what concept class can it learn? Moreover, how can the same recurrent unit simultaneously learn functions from different input tokens to different output tokens, without affecting each other? Existing generalization bounds for RNN scale exponentially with the input length, significantly limiting their practical implications. In this paper, we show using the vanilla stochastic gradient descent (SGD), RNN can actually learn some notable concept class efficiently, meaning that both time and sample complexity scale polynomially in the input length (or almost polynomially, depending on the concept). This concept class at least includes functions where each output token is generated from inputs of earlier tokens using a smooth two-layer neural network.

Heavy-tailed distributions have been studied in statistics, random matrix theory, physics, and econometrics as models of correlated systems, among other domains. Further, heavy-tail distributed eigenvalues of the covariance matrix of the weight matri ces in neural networks have been shown to empirically correlate with test set accuracy in several works (e.g. arXiv:1901.08276), but a formal relationship between heavy-tail distributed parameters and generalization bounds was yet to be demonstrated. In this work, the compression framework of arXiv:1802.05296 is utilized to show that matrices with heavy-tail distributed matrix elements can be compressed, resulting in networks with sparse weight matrices. Since the parameter count has been reduced to a sum of the non-zero elements of sparse matrices, the compression framework allows us to bound the generalization gap of the resulting compressed network with a non-vacuous generalization bound. Further, the action of these matrices on a vector is discussed, and how they may relate to compression and resilient classification is analyzed.
In this paper, we present a novel approach for fine-tuning a decoder-side neural network in the context of image compression, such that the weight-updates are better compressible. At encoder side, we fine-tune a pre-trained artifact removal network o n target data by using a compression objective applied on the weight-update. In particular, the compression objective encourages weight-updates which are sparse and closer to quantized values. This way, the final weight-update can be compressed more efficiently by pruning and quantization, and can be included into the encoded bitstream together with the image bitstream of a traditional codec. We show that this approach achieves reconstruction quality which is on-par or slightly superior to a traditional codec, at comparable bitrates. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to combine image compression and neural networks weight update compression.
