We propose {rm texttt{ResIST}}, a novel distributed training protocol for Residual Networks (ResNets). {rm texttt{ResIST}} randomly decomposes a global ResNet into several shallow sub-ResNets that are trained independently in a distributed manner for several local iterations, before having their updates synchronized and aggregated into the global model. In the next round, new sub-ResNets are randomly generated and the process repeats. By construction, per iteration, {rm texttt{ResIST}} communicates only a small portion of network parameters to each machine and never uses the full model during training. Thus, {rm texttt{ResIST}} reduces the communication, memory, and time requirements of ResNet training to only a fraction of the requirements of previous methods. In comparison to common protocols like data-parallel training and data-parallel training with local SGD, {rm texttt{ResIST}} yields a decrease in wall-clock training time, while being competitive with respect to model performance.

Many applications today, such as NLP, network analysis, and code analysis, rely on semantically embedding objects into low-dimensional fixed-length vectors. Such embeddings naturally provide a way to perform useful downstream tasks, such as identifyi
ng relations among objects or predicting objects for a given context, etc. Unfortunately, the training necessary for accurate embeddings is usually computationally intensive and requires processing large amounts of data. Furthermore, distributing this training is challenging. Most embedding training uses stochastic gradient descent (SGD), an inherently sequential algorithm. Prior approaches to parallelizing SGD do not honor these dependencies and thus potentially suffer poor convergence. This paper presents a distributed training framework for a class of applications that use Skip-gram-like models to generate embeddings. We call this class Any2Vec and it includes Word2Vec, DeepWalk, and Node2Vec among others. We first formulate Any2Vec training algorithm as a graph application and leverage the state-of-the-art distributed graph analytics framework, D-Galois. We adapt D-Galois to support dynamic graph generation and repartitioning, and incorporate novel communication optimizations. Finally, we introduce a novel way to combine gradients during distributed training to prevent accuracy loss. We show that our framework, called GraphAny2Vec, matches on a cluster of 32 hosts the accuracy of the state-of-the-art shared-memory implementations of Word2Vec and Vertex2Vec on 1 host, and gives a geo-mean speedup of 12x and 5x respectively. Furthermore, GraphAny2Vec is on average 2x faster than the state-of-the-art distributed Word2Vec implementation, DMTK, on 32 hosts. We also show the superiority of our Gradient Combiner independent of GraphAny2Vec by incorporating it in DMTK, which raises its accuracy by > 30%.
The graph convolutional network (GCN) is a go-to solution for machine learning on graphs, but its training is notoriously difficult to scale both in terms of graph size and the number of model parameters. Although some work has explored training on l
arge-scale graphs (e.g., GraphSAGE, ClusterGCN, etc.), we pioneer efficient training of large-scale GCN models (i.e., ultra-wide, overparameterized models) with the proposal of a novel, distributed training framework. Our proposed training methodology, called GIST, disjointly partitions the parameters of a GCN model into several, smaller sub-GCNs that are trained independently and in parallel. In addition to being compatible with any GCN architecture, GIST improves model performance, scales to training on arbitrarily large graphs, significantly decreases wall-clock training time, and enables the training of markedly overparameterized GCN models. Remarkably, with GIST, we train an astonishgly-wide 32,768-dimensional GraphSAGE model, which exceeds the capacity of a single GPU by a factor of 8X, to SOTA performance on the Amazon2M dataset.
We present a novel global compression framework for deep neural networks that automatically analyzes each layer to identify the optimal per-layer compression ratio, while simultaneously achieving the desired overall compression. Our algorithm hinges
on the idea of compressing each convolutional (or fully-connected) layer by slicing its channels into multiple groups and decomposing each group via low-rank decomposition. At the core of our algorithm is the derivation of layer-wise error bounds from the Eckart Young Mirsky theorem. We then leverage these bounds to frame the compression problem as an optimization problem where we wish to minimize the maximum compression error across layers and propose an efficient algorithm towards a solution. Our experiments indicate that our method outperforms existing low-rank compression approaches across a wide range of networks and data sets. We believe that our results open up new avenues for future research into the global performance-size trade-offs of modern neural networks. Our code is available at https://github.com/lucaslie/torchprune.
We propose NovoGrad, an adaptive stochastic gradient descent method with layer-wise gradient normalization and decoupled weight decay. In our experiments on neural networks for image classification, speech recognition, machine translation, and langua
ge modeling, it performs on par or better than well tuned SGD with momentum and Adam or AdamW. Additionally, NovoGrad (1) is robust to the choice of learning rate and weight initialization, (2) works well in a large batch setting, and (3) has two times smaller memory footprint than Adam.
Multimodal datasets contain an enormous amount of relational information, which grows exponentially with the introduction of new modalities. Learning representations in such a scenario is inherently complex due to the presence of multiple heterogeneo
us information channels. These channels can encode both (a) inter-relations between the items of different modalities and (b) intra-relations between the items of the same modality. Encoding multimedia items into a continuous low-dimensional semantic space such that both types of relations are captured and preserved is extremely challenging, especially if the goal is a unified end-to-end learning framework. The two key challenges that need to be addressed are: 1) the framework must be able to merge complex intra and inter relations without losing any valuable information and 2) the learning model should be invariant to the addition of new and potentially very different modalities. In this paper, we propose a flexible framework which can scale to data streams from many modalities. To that end we introduce a hypergraph-based model for data representation and deploy Graph Convolutional Networks to fuse relational information within and across modalities. Our approach provides an efficient solution for distributing otherwise extremely computationally expensive or even unfeasible training processes across multiple-GPUs, without any sacrifices in accuracy. Moreover, adding new modalities to our model requires only an additional GPU unit keeping the computational time unchanged, which brings representation learning to truly multimodal datasets. We demonstrate the feasibility of our approach in the experiments on multimedia datasets featuring second, third and fourth order relations.
