When deploying a deep neural network on constrained hardware, it is possible to replace the networks standard convolutions with grouped convolutions. This allows for substantial memory savings with minimal loss of accuracy. However, current implementations of grouped convolutions in modern deep learning frameworks are far from performing optimally in terms of speed. In this paper we propose Grouped Spatial Pack Convolutions (GSPC), a new implementation of grouped convolutions that outperforms existing solutions. We implement GSPC in TVM, which provides state-of-the-art performance on edge devices. We analyze a set of networks utilizing different types of grouped convolutions and evaluate their performance in terms of inference time on several edge devices. We observe that our new implementation scales well with the number of groups and provides the best inference times in all settings, improving the existing implementations of grouped convolutions in TVM, PyTorch and TensorFlow Lite by 3.4x, 8x and 4x on average respectively.

As the key advancement of the convolutional neural networks (CNNs), depthwise separable convolutions (DSCs) are becoming one of the most popular techniques to reduce the computations and parameters size of CNNs meanwhile maintaining the model accurac
y. It also brings profound impact to improve the applicability of the compute- and memory-intensive CNNs to a broad range of applications, such as mobile devices, which are generally short of computation power and memory. However, previous research in DSCs are largely focusing on compositing the limited existing DSC designs, thus, missing the opportunities to explore more potential designs that can achieve better accuracy and higher computation/parameter reduction. Besides, the off-the-shelf convolution implementations offer limited computing schemes, therefore, lacking support for DSCs with different convolution patterns. To this end, we introduce, DSXplore, the first optimized design for exploring DSCs on CNNs. Specifically, at the algorithm level, DSXplore incorporates a novel factorized kernel -- sliding-channel convolution (SCC), featured with input-channel overlapping to balance the accuracy performance and the reduction of computation and memory cost. SCC also offers enormous space for design exploration by introducing adjustable kernel parameters. Further, at the implementation level, we carry out an optimized GPU-implementation tailored for SCC by leveraging several key techniques, such as the input-centric backward design and the channel-cyclic optimization. Intensive experiments on different datasets across mainstream CNNs show the advantages of DSXplore in balancing accuracy and computation/parameter reduction over the standard convolution and the existing DSCs.
A common approach to define convolutions on meshes is to interpret them as a graph and apply graph convolutional networks (GCNs). Such GCNs utilize isotropic kernels and are therefore insensitive to the relative orientation of vertices and thus to th
e geometry of the mesh as a whole. We propose Gauge Equivariant Mesh CNNs which generalize GCNs to apply anisotropic gauge equivariant kernels. Since the resulting features carry orientation information, we introduce a geometric message passing scheme defined by parallel transporting features over mesh edges. Our experiments validate the significantly improved expressivity of the proposed model over conventional GCNs and other methods.
Convolution is one of the most essential components of architectures used in computer vision. As machine learning moves towards reducing the expert bias and learning it from data, a natural next step seems to be learning convolution-like structures f
rom scratch. This, however, has proven elusive. For example, current state-of-the-art architecture search algorithms use convolution as one of the existing modules rather than learning it from data. In an attempt to understand the inductive bias that gives rise to convolutions, we investigate minimum description length as a guiding principle and show that in some settings, it can indeed be indicative of the performance of architectures. To find architectures with small description length, we propose $beta$-LASSO, a simple variant of LASSO algorithm that, when applied on fully-connected networks for image classification tasks, learns architectures with local connections and achieves state-of-the-art accuracies for training fully-connected nets on CIFAR-10 (85.19%), CIFAR-100 (59.56%) and SVHN (94.07%) bridging the gap between fully-connected and convolutional nets.
Zero-shot learning (ZSL) algorithms typically work by exploiting attribute correlations to be able to make predictions in unseen classes. However, these correlations do not remain intact at test time in most practical settings and the resulting chang
e in these correlations lead to adverse effects on zero-shot learning performance. In this paper, we present a new paradigm for ZSL that: (i) utilizes the class-attribute mapping of unseen classes to estimate the change in target distribution (target shift), and (ii) propose a novel technique called grouped Adversarial Learning (gAL) to reduce negative effects of this shift. Our approach is widely applicable for several existing ZSL algorithms, including those with implicit attribute predictions. We apply the proposed technique ($g$AL) on three popular ZSL algorithms: ALE, SJE, and DEVISE, and show performance improvements on 4 popular ZSL datasets: AwA2, aPY, CUB and SUN. We obtain SOTA results on SUN and aPY datasets and achieve comparable results on AwA2.
Graph neural networks (GNN) have achieved state-of-the-art performance on various industrial tasks. However, the poor efficiency of GNN inference and frequent Out-Of-Memory (OOM) problem limit the successful application of GNN on edge computing platf
orms. To tackle these problems, a feature decomposition approach is proposed for memory efficiency optimization of GNN inference. The proposed approach could achieve outstanding optimization on various GNN models, covering a wide range of datasets, which speeds up the inference by up to 3x. Furthermore, the proposed feature decomposition could significantly reduce the peak memory usage (up to 5x in memory efficiency improvement) and mitigate OOM problems during GNN inference.
