Neural architecture search (NAS) approaches aim at automatically finding novel CNN architectures that fit computational constraints while maintaining a good performance on the target platform. We introduce a novel efficient one-shot NAS approach to optimally search for channel numbers, given latency constraints on a specific hardware. We first show that we can use a black-box approach to estimate a realistic latency model for a specific inference platform, without the need for low-level access to the inference computation. Then, we design a pairwise MRF to score any channel configuration and use dynamic programming to efficiently decode the best performing configuration, yielding an optimal solution for the network width search. Finally, we propose an adaptive channel configuration sampling scheme to gradually specialize the training phase to the target computational constraints. Experiments on ImageNet classification show that our approach can find networks fitting the resource constraints on different target platforms while improving accuracy over the state-of-the-art efficient networks.

Searching for network width is an effective way to slim deep neural networks with hardware budgets. With this aim, a one-shot supernet is usually leveraged as a performance evaluator to rank the performance wrt~different width. Nevertheless, current
methods mainly follow a manually fixed weight sharing pattern, which is limited to distinguish the performance gap of different width. In this paper, to better evaluate each width, we propose a locally free weight sharing strategy (CafeNet) accordingly. In CafeNet, weights are more freely shared, and each width is jointly indicated by its base channels and free channels, where free channels are supposed to loCAte FrEely in a local zone to better represent each width. Besides, we propose to further reduce the search space by leveraging our introduced FLOPs-sensitive bins. As a result, our CafeNet can be trained stochastically and get optimized within a min-min strategy. Extensive experiments on ImageNet, CIFAR-10, CelebA and MS COCO dataset have verified our superiority comparing to other state-of-the-art baselines. For example, our method can further boost the benchmark NAS network EfficientNet-B0 by 0.41% via searching its width more delicately.
The pre-trained language models like BERT, though powerful in many natural language processing tasks, are both computation and memory expensive. To alleviate this problem, one approach is to compress them for specific tasks before deployment. However
, recent works on BERT compression usually compress the large BERT model to a fixed smaller size. They can not fully satisfy the requirements of different edge devices with various hardware performances. In this paper, we propose a novel dynamic BERT model (abbreviated as DynaBERT), which can flexibly adjust the size and latency by selecting adaptive width and depth. The training process of DynaBERT includes first training a width-adaptive BERT and then allowing both adaptive width and depth, by distilling knowledge from the full-sized model to small sub-networks. Network rewiring is also used to keep the more important attention heads and neurons shared by more sub-networks. Comprehensive experiments under various efficiency constraints demonstrate that our proposed dynamic BERT (or RoBERTa) at its largest size has comparable performance as BERT-base (or RoBERTa-base), while at smaller widths and depths consistently outperforms existing BERT compression methods. Code is available at https://github.com/huawei-noah/Pretrained-Language-Model/tree/master/DynaBERT.
In this paper we propose a novel network adaption method called Differentiable Network Adaption (DNA), which can adapt an existing network to a specific computation budget by adjusting the width and depth in a differentiable manner. The gradient-base
d optimization allows DNA to achieve an automatic optimization of width and depth rather than previous heuristic methods that heavily rely on human priors. Moreover, we propose a new elastic search space that can flexibly condense or expand during the optimization process, allowing the network optimization of width and depth in a bi-direction manner. By DNA, we successfully achieve network architecture optimization by condensing and expanding in both width and depth dimensions. Extensive experiments on ImageNet demonstrate that DNA can adapt the existing network to meet different targeted computation requirements with better performance than previous methods. Whats more, DNA can further improve the performance of high-accuracy networks obtained by state-of-the-art neural architecture search methods such as EfficientNet and MobileNet-v3.
Searching for a more compact network width recently serves as an effective way of channel pruning for the deployment of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) under hardware constraints. To fulfill the searching, a one-shot supernet is usually leverage
d to efficiently evaluate the performance wrt~different network widths. However, current methods mainly follow a textit{unilaterally augmented} (UA) principle for the evaluation of each width, which induces the training unfairness of channels in supernet. In this paper, we introduce a new supernet called Bilaterally Coupled Network (BCNet) to address this issue. In BCNet, each channel is fairly trained and responsible for the same amount of network widths, thus each network width can be evaluated more accurately. Besides, we leverage a stochastic complementary strategy for training the BCNet, and propose a prior initial population sampling method to boost the performance of the evolutionary search. Extensive experiments on benchmark CIFAR-10 and ImageNet datasets indicate that our method can achieve state-of-the-art or competing performance over other baseline methods. Moreover, our method turns out to further boost the performance of NAS models by refining their network widths. For example, with the same FLOPs budget, our obtained EfficientNet-B0 achieves 77.36% Top-1 accuracy on ImageNet dataset, surpassing the performance of original setting by 0.48%.
This paper presents a constrained deep adaptive dynamic programming (CDADP) algorithm to solve general nonlinear optimal control problems with known dynamics. Unlike previous ADP algorithms, it can directly deal with problems with state constraints.
Both the policy and value function are approximated by deep neural networks (NNs), which directly map the system state to action and value function respectively without needing to use hand-crafted basis function. The proposed algorithm considers the state constraints by transforming the policy improvement process to a constrained optimization problem. Meanwhile, a trust region constraint is added to prevent excessive policy update. We first linearize this constrained optimization problem locally into a quadratically-constrained quadratic programming problem, and then obtain the optimal update of policy network parameters by solving its dual problem. We also propose a series of recovery rules to update the policy in case the primal problem is infeasible. In addition, parallel learners are employed to explore different state spaces and then stabilize and accelerate the learning speed. The vehicle control problem in path-tracking task is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of this proposed method.
