Extreme Memorization via Scale of Initialization
Mehta, Harsh, Cutkosky, Ashok, Neyshabur, Behnam
We construct an experimental setup in which changing the scale of initialization strongly impacts the implicit regularization induced by SGD, interpolating from good generalization performance to completely memorizing the training set while making little progress on the test set. Moreover, we find that the extent and manner in which generalization ability is affected depends on the activation and loss function used, with $\sin$ activation being the most extreme. In the case of the homogeneous ReLU activation, we show that this behavior can be attributed to the loss function. Our empirical investigation reveals that increasing the scale of initialization could cause the representations and gradients to be increasingly misaligned across examples in the same class. We further demonstrate that a similar misalignment phenomenon occurs in other scenarios affecting generalization performance, such as changes to the architecture or data distribution.
Multi-Scale One-Class Recurrent Neural Networks for Discrete Event Sequence Anomaly Detection
Wang, Zhiwei, Chen, Zhengzhang, Ni, Jingchao, Liu, Hui, Chen, Haifeng, Tang, Jiliang
Discrete event sequences are ubiquitous, such as an ordered event series of process interactions in Information and Communication Technology systems. Recent years have witnessed increasing efforts in detecting anomalies with discrete-event sequences. However, it still remains an extremely difficult task due to several intrinsic challenges including data imbalance issues, the discrete property of the events, and sequential nature of the data. To address these challenges, in this paper, we propose OC4Seq, a multi-scale one-class recurrent neural network for detecting anomalies in discrete event sequences. Specifically, OC4Seq integrates the anomaly detection objective with recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to embed the discrete event sequences into latent spaces, where anomalies can be easily detected. In addition, given that an anomalous sequence could be caused by either individual events, subsequences of events, or the whole sequence, we design a multi-scale RNN framework to capture different levels of sequential patterns simultaneously. Experimental results on three benchmark datasets show that OC4Seq consistently outperforms various representative baselines by a large margin. Moreover, through both quantitative and qualitative analysis, the importance of capturing multi-scale sequential patterns for event anomaly detection is verified.
Transformers are RNNs: Fast Autoregressive Transformers with Linear Attention
Katharopoulos, Angelos, Vyas, Apoorv, Pappas, Nikolaos, Fleuret, Franรงois
Transformers achieve remarkable performance in several tasks but due to their quadratic complexity, with respect to the input's length, they are prohibitively slow for very long sequences. To address this limitation, we express the self-attention as a linear dot-product of kernel feature maps and make use of the associativity property of matrix products to reduce the complexity from $\mathcal{O}\left(N^2\right)$ to $\mathcal{O}\left(N\right)$, where $N$ is the sequence length. We show that this formulation permits an iterative implementation that dramatically accelerates autoregressive transformers and reveals their relationship to recurrent neural networks. Our linear transformers achieve similar performance to vanilla transformers and they are up to 4000x faster on autoregressive prediction of very long sequences.
Sparse GPU Kernels for Deep Learning
Gale, Trevor, Zaharia, Matei, Young, Cliff, Elsen, Erich
Abstract--Scientific workloads have traditionally exploited high levels of sparsity to accelerate computation and reduce memory requirements. While deep neural networks can be made sparse, achieving practical speedups on GPUs is difficult because these applications have relatively moderate levels of sparsity that are not sufficient for existing sparse kernels to outperform their dense counterparts. In this work, we study sparse matrices from deep learning applications and identify favorable properties that can be exploited to accelerate computation. Based on these insights, we develop high-performance GPU kernels for two sparse matrix operations widely applicable in neural networks: sparse matrix-dense matrix multiplication and sampled dense-dense matrix multiplication. Using our kernels, we demonstrate sparse Transformer and MobileNet models that achieve 1.2-2.1 speedups and up to 12.8 memory savings without sacrificing accuracy. This work enables speedups for all problems in the highlighted region. Existing GPU kernels for sparse linear algebra are procedure, a sparsification algorithm is applied to produce a primarily optimized for scientific applications, where matrices neural network where a high fraction of the weights are zerovalued are extremely (99%) sparse. The weight matrices can then be stored in levels of sparsity found in deep neural networks, these kernels a compressed format, and sparse linear algebra kernels can be are not able to outperform their dense counterparts. In the context of generative To address this issue, structure can be enforced on the models, sparsity has been applied to reduce the computational topology of nonzeros such that nonzero values are grouped requirements of self-attention in Transformer architectures [6], into blocks [12]-[14]. While this approach is able to recover [10], [11].
BiQGEMM: Matrix Multiplication with Lookup Table For Binary-Coding-based Quantized DNNs
Jeon, Yongkweon, Park, Baeseong, Kwon, Se Jung, Kim, Byeongwook, Yun, Jeongin, Lee, Dongsoo
The number of parameters in deep neural networks (DNNs) is rapidly increasing to support complicated tasks and to improve model accuracy. Correspondingly, the amount of computations and required memory footprint increase as well. Quantization is an efficient method to address such concerns by compressing DNNs such that computations can be simplified while required storage footprint is significantly reduced. Unfortunately, commercial CPUs and GPUs do not fully support quantization because only fixed data transfers (such as 32 bits) are allowed. As a result, even if weights are quantized into a few bits, CPUs and GPUs cannot access multiple quantized weights without memory bandwidth waste. Success of quantization in practice, hence, relies on an efficient computation engine design, especially for matrix multiplication that is a basic computation engine in most DNNs. In this paper, we propose a novel matrix multiplication method, called BiQGEMM, dedicated to quantized DNNs. BiQGEMM can access multiple quantized weights simultaneously in one instruction. In addition, BiQGEMM pre-computes intermediate results that are highly redundant when quantization leads to limited available computation space. Since pre-computed values are stored in lookup tables and reused, BiQGEMM achieves lower amount of overall computations. Our extensive experimental results show that BiQGEMM presents higher performance than conventional schemes when DNNs are quantized.

Alan Turing, in 1947, said that "what we want is a machine that can learn from experience." His words can be marked true today as we have Deep Learning -- a new machine learning technique that imitates how we human beings gain knowledge and learn through examples. Deep learning includes statistics and predictive modeling, and hence it is an essential element of data science. Deep learning makes the process faster and easier, especially when it comes to tasks related to data science like collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and everything that deals with working on a large amount of data. Disbelief, a proprietary system built by Google in 2011 based on deep learning and neural networks, was further updated and modified in 2015, making it a better application-based library and was named as TensorFlow.

Cloud vs Edge: an Industrial Manufacturing dilemma
This does not work for many manufacturers, who tend to avoid the security and latency issues from Cloud-reliant software to manage the day-to-day complex workflows. Fortunately, technology evolving, and in a 2020 that has otherwise been challenging for the sector, a paradigm-changing evolution of Deep Learning and AI is coming to benefit the need for manufacturing. But first, let's understand what we mean by Deep Learning and how hardware -- Cloud vs Edge -- plays such an important role. AI's generic name hides a variety of approaches that span from huge Artificial Intelligence models crunching data on a distributed cloud infrastructure, to tiny Edge-friendly AI that analyzes and mines data on small processors. Let's simplify the landscape and split AI into two main classes, the'heavy' and'light' types.
