Towards Data-Agnostic Pruning At Initialization: What Makes a Good Sparse Mask?

Neural Information Processing Systems

PaI methods manage to find trainable subnetworks that outperform random pruning, their performance in terms of both accuracy and computational reduction is far from satisfactory compared to post-training pruning and the understanding of PaI is missing.

Neural Information Processing Systems

A common approach to create more expressive GNNs is to change the message passing function of MPNNs. If a GNN is more expressive than MPNNs by adapting the message passing function, we call this non-standard message passing . Examples of this are message passing variants that operate on subgraphs [Frasca et al., 2022, Bevilacqua


Supplement to " Estimating Riemannian Metric with Noise-Contaminated Intrinsic Distance "

Neural Information Processing Systems

Unlike distance metric learning where the subsequent tasks utilizing the estimated distance metric is the usual focus, the proposal focuses on the estimated metric characterizing the geometry structure. Despite the illustrated taxi and MNIST examples, it is still open to finding more compelling applications that target the data space geometry. Interpreting mathematical concepts such as Riemannian metric and geodesic in the context of potential application (e.g., cognition and perception research where similarity measures are common) could be inspiring. Our proposal requires sufficiently dense data, which could be demanding, especially for high-dimensional data due to the curse of dimensionality. Dimensional reduction (e.g., manifold embedding as in the MNIST example) can substantially alleviate the curse of dimensionality, and the dense data requirement will more likely hold true.




Electronic artist and YouTuber Look Mum No Computer to represent UK at Eurovision

BBC News

Electronic music artist and tech creator Look Mum No Computer has been chosen to represent the UK at this year's Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, the BBC has announced. Look Mum No Computer is a solo artist, songwriter and YouTuber, who is also described as an inventor of unique musical machines. The singer first arrived on the music scene back in 2014 as Sam Battle, frontman of indie rock band Zibra. The group performed at Glastonbury in 2015 for BBC Introducing. Since then, he has been performing and recording under his solo name.
