Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are witnessing increased adoption in multiple domains owing to their high accuracy in solving real-world problems. However, this high accuracy has been achieved by building deeper networks, posing a fundamental challenge to the low latency inference desired by user-facing applications. Current low latency solutions trade-off on accuracy or fail to exploit the inherent temporal locality in prediction serving workloads. We observe that caching hidden layer outputs of the DNN can introduce a form of late-binding where inference requests only consume the amount of computation needed. This enables a mechanism for achieving low latencies, coupled with an ability to exploit temporal locality. However, traditional caching approaches incur high memory overheads and lookup latencies, leading us to design learned caches - caches that consist of simple ML models that are continuously updated. We present the design of GATI, an end-to-end prediction serving system that incorporates learned caches for low-latency DNN inference. Results show that GATI can reduce inference latency by up to 7.69X on realistic workloads.

Deep learning implementations on CPUs (Central Processing Units) are gaining more traction. Enhanced AI capabilities on commodity x86 architectures are commercially appealing due to the reuse of existing hardware and virtualization ease. A notable wo rk in this direction is the SLIDE system. SLIDE is a C++ implementation of a sparse hash table based back-propagation, which was shown to be significantly faster than GPUs in training hundreds of million parameter neural models. In this paper, we argue that SLIDEs current implementation is sub-optimal and does not exploit several opportunities available in modern CPUs. In particular, we show how SLIDEs computations allow for a unique possibility of vectorization via AVX (Advanced Vector Extensions)-512. Furthermore, we highlight opportunities for different kinds of memory optimization and quantizations. Combining all of them, we obtain up to 7x speedup in the computations on the same hardware. Our experiments are focused on large (hundreds of millions of parameters) recommendation and NLP models. Our work highlights several novel perspectives and opportunities for implementing randomized algorithms for deep learning on modern CPUs.

The Bayesian paradigm has the potential to solve core issues of deep neural networks such as poor calibration and data inefficiency. Alas, scaling Bayesian inference to large weight spaces often requires restrictive approximations. In this work, we s how that it suffices to perform inference over a small subset of model weights in order to obtain accurate predictive posteriors. The other weights are kept as point estimates. This subnetwork inference framework enables us to use expressive, otherwise intractable, posterior approximations over such subsets. In particular, we implement subnetwork linearized Laplace: We first obtain a MAP estimate of all weights and then infer a full-covariance Gaussian posterior over a subnetwork. We propose a subnetwork selection strategy that aims to maximally preserve the models predictive uncertainty. Empirically, our approach is effective compared to ensembles and less expressive posterior approximations over full networks.
Intelligent agents rely heavily on prior experience when learning a new task, yet most modern reinforcement learning (RL) approaches learn every task from scratch. One approach for leveraging prior knowledge is to transfer skills learned on prior tas ks to the new task. However, as the amount of prior experience increases, the number of transferable skills grows too, making it challenging to explore the full set of available skills during downstream learning. Yet, intuitively, not all skills should be explored with equal probability; for example information about the current state can hint which skills are promising to explore. In this work, we propose to implement this intuition by learning a prior over skills. We propose a deep latent variable model that jointly learns an embedding space of skills and the skill prior from offline agent experience. We then extend common maximum-entropy RL approaches to use skill priors to guide downstream learning. We validate our approach, SPiRL (Skill-Prior RL), on complex navigation and robotic manipulation tasks and show that learned skill priors are essential for effective skill transfer from rich datasets.

IoT Edge intelligence requires Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) inference to take place in the edge devices itself. ARM big.LITTLE architecture is at the heart of prevalent commercial edge devices. It comprises of single-ISA heterogeneous cores gro uped into multiple homogeneous clusters that enable power and performance trade-offs. All cores are expected to be simultaneously employed in inference to attain maximal throughput. However, high communication overhead involved in parallelization of computations from convolution kernels across clusters is detrimental to throughput. We present an alternative framework called Pipe-it that employs pipelined design to split convolutional layers across clusters while limiting parallelization of their respective kernels to the assigned cluster. We develop a performance-prediction model that utilizes only the convolutional layer descriptors to predict the execution time of each layer individually on all permitted core configurations (type and count). Pipe-it then exploits the predictions to create a balanced pipeline using an efficient design space exploration algorithm. Pipe-it on average results in a 39% higher throughput than the highest antecedent throughput.
Deep learning (DL) is one of the most prominent branches of machine learning. Due to the immense computational cost of DL workloads, industry and academia have developed DL libraries with highly-specialized kernels for each workload/architecture, lea ding to numerous, complex code-bases that strive for performance, yet they are hard to maintain and do not generalize. In this work, we introduce the batch-reduce GEMM kernel and show how the most popular DL algorithms can be formulated with this kernel as the basic building-block. Consequently, the DL library-development degenerates to mere (potentially automatic) tuning of loops around this sole optimized kernel. By exploiting our new kernel we implement Recurrent Neural Networks, Convolution Neural Networks and Multilayer Perceptron training and inference primitives in just 3K lines of high-level code. Our primitives outperform vendor-optimized libraries on multi-node CPU clusters, and we also provide proof-of-concept CNN kernels targeting GPUs. Finally, we demonstrate that the batch-reduce GEMM kernel within a tensor compiler yields high-performance CNN primitives, further amplifying the viability of our approach.
