The fields of signal and image processing have been deeply influenced by the introduction of deep neural networks. These are successfully deployed in a wide range of real-world applications, obtaining state of the art results and surpassing well-known and well-established classical methods. Despite their impressive success, the architectures used in many of these neural networks come with no clear justification. As such, these are usually treated as black box machines that lack any kind of interpretability. A constructive remedy to this drawback is a systematic design of such networks by unfolding well-understood iterative algorithms. A popular representative of this approach is the Iterative Shrinkage-Thresholding Algorithm (ISTA) and its learned version -- LISTA, aiming for the sparse representations of the processed signals. In this paper we revisit this sparse coding task and propose an unfolded version of a greedy pursuit algorithm for the same goal. More specifically, we concentrate on the well-known Orthogonal-Matching-Pursuit (OMP) algorithm, and introduce its unfolded and learned version. Key features of our Learned Greedy Method (LGM) are the ability to accommodate a dynamic number of unfolded layers, and a stopping mechanism based on representation error, both adapted to the input. We develop several variants of the proposed LGM architecture and test some of them in various experiments, demonstrating their flexibility and efficiency.

Recently, the study on learned iterative shrinkage thresholding algorithm (LISTA) has attracted increasing attentions. A large number of experiments as well as some theories have proved the high efficiency of LISTA for solving sparse coding problems. However, existing LISTA methods are all serial connection. To address this issue, we propose a novel extragradient based LISTA (ELISTA), which has a residual structure and theoretical guarantees. In particular, our algorithm can also provide the interpretability for Res-Net to a certain extent. From a theoretical perspective, we prove that our method attains linear convergence. In practice, extensive empirical results verify the advantages of our method.

A key problem in deep multi-attribute learning is to effectively discover the inter-attribute correlation structures. Typically, the conventional deep multi-attribute learning approaches follow the pipeline of manually designing the network architect ures based on task-specific expertise prior knowledge and careful network tunings, leading to the inflexibility for various complicated scenarios in practice. Motivated by addressing this problem, we propose an efficient greedy neural architecture search approach (GNAS) to automatically discover the optimal tree-like deep architecture for multi-attribute learning. In a greedy manner, GNAS divides the optimization of global architecture into the optimizations of individual connections step by step. By iteratively updating the local architectures, the global tree-like architecture gets converged where the bottom layers are shared across relevant attributes and the branches in top layers more encode attribute-specific features. Experiments on three benchmark multi-attribute datasets show the effectiveness and compactness of neural architectures derived by GNAS, and also demonstrate the efficiency of GNAS in searching neural architectures.
We study the relationship between the frequency of a function and the speed at which a neural network learns it. We build on recent results that show that the dynamics of overparameterized neural networks trained with gradient descent can be well app roximated by a linear system. When normalized training data is uniformly distributed on a hypersphere, the eigenfunctions of this linear system are spherical harmonic functions. We derive the corresponding eigenvalues for each frequency after introducing a bias term in the model. This bias term had been omitted from the linear network model without significantly affecting previous theoretical results. However, we show theoretically and experimentally that a shallow neural network without bias cannot represent or learn simple, low frequency functions with odd frequencies. Our results lead to specific predictions of the time it will take a network to learn functions of varying frequency. These predictions match the empirical behavior of both shallow and deep networks.
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved great success in performing cognitive tasks. However, execution of CNNs requires a large amount of computing resources and generates heavy memory traffic, which imposes a severe challenge on computin g system design. Through optimizing parallel executions and data reuse in convolution, systolic architecture demonstrates great advantages in accelerating CNN computations. However, regular internal data transmission path in traditional systolic architecture prevents the systolic architecture from completely leveraging the benefits introduced by neural network sparsity. Deployment of fine-grained sparsity on the existing systolic architectures is greatly hindered by the incurred computational overheads. In this work, we propose S2Engine $-$ a novel systolic architecture that can fully exploit the sparsity in CNNs with maximized data reuse. S2Engine transmits compressed data internally and allows each processing element to dynamically select an aligned data from the compressed dataflow in convolution. Compared to the naive systolic array, S2Engine achieves about $3.2times$ and about $3.0times$ improvements on speed and energy efficiency, respectively.

The past few years have witnessed the fast development of different regularization methods for deep learning models such as fully-connected deep neural networks (DNNs) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Most of previous methods mainly consider to drop features from input data and hidden layers, such as Dropout, Cutout and DropBlocks. DropConnect select to drop connections between fully-connected layers. By randomly discard some features or connections, the above mentioned methods control the overfitting problem and improve the performance of neural networks. In this paper, we proposed two novel regularization methods, namely DropFilter and DropFilter-PLUS, for the learning of CNNs. Different from the previous methods, DropFilter and DropFilter-PLUS selects to modify the convolution filters. For DropFilter-PLUS, we find a suitable way to accelerate the learning process based on theoretical analysis. Experimental results on MNIST show that using DropFilter and DropFilter-PLUS may improve performance on image classification tasks.
