  • Tensor Regression Networks
    Journal of Machine Learning Research 21 (2020) 1-21 Submitted 7/18; Published 7/20 Tensor Regression Networks Jean Kossaifi [email protected] NVIDIA & Imperial College London Zachary C. Lipton [email protected] Carnegie Mellon University Arinbj¨ornKolbeinsson [email protected] Imperial College London Aran Khanna [email protected] Amazon AI Tommaso Furlanello [email protected] University of Southern California Anima Anandkumar [email protected] NVIDIA & California Institute of Technology Editor: Aapo Hyvarinen Abstract Convolutional neural networks typically consist of many convolutional layers followed by one or more fully connected layers. While convolutional layers map between high-order activation tensors, the fully connected layers operate on flattened activation vectors. Despite empirical success, this approach has notable drawbacks. Flattening followed by fully connected layers discards multilinear structure in the activations and requires many parameters. We address these problems by incorporating tensor algebraic operations that preserve multilinear structure at every layer. First, we introduce Tensor Contraction Layers (TCLs) that reduce the dimensionality of their input while preserving their multilinear structure using tensor contraction. Next, we introduce Tensor Regression Layers (TRLs), which express outputs through a low-rank multilinear mapping from a high-order activation tensor to an output tensor of arbitrary order. We learn the contraction and regression factors end-to-end, and produce accurate nets with fewer parameters. Additionally, our layers regularize networks by imposing low-rank constraints on the activations (TCL) and regression weights (TRL). Experiments on ImageNet show that, applied to VGG and ResNet architectures, TCLs and TRLs reduce the number of parameters compared to fully connected layers by more than 65% while maintaining or increasing accuracy.

  • Communication-Efficient Distributed SGD with Sketching
    Communication-efficient Distributed SGD with Sketching Nikita Ivkin ∗y Daniel Rothchild ∗ Enayat Ullah ∗ Amazon UC Berkeley Johns Hopkins University [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Vladimir Braverman z Ion Stoica Raman Arora Johns Hopkins University UC Berkeley Johns Hopkins University [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Large-scale distributed training of neural networks is often limited by network band- width, wherein the communication time overwhelms the local computation time. Motivated by the success of sketching methods in sub-linear/streaming algorithms, we introduce SKETCHED-SGD4, an algorithm for carrying out distributed SGD by communicating sketches instead of full gradients. We show that SKETCHED-SGD has favorable convergence rates on several classes of functions. When considering all communication – both of gradients and of updated model weights – SKETCHED- SGD reduces the amount of communication required compared to other gradient compression methods from O(d) or O(W ) to O(log d), where d is the number of model parameters and W is the number of workers participating in training. We run experiments on a transformer model, an LSTM, and a residual network, demonstrating up to a 40x reduction in total communication cost with no loss in final model performance. We also show experimentally that SKETCHED-SGD scales to at least 256 workers without increasing communication cost or degrading model performance. 1 Introduction Modern machine learning training workloads are commonly distributed across many machines using data-parallel synchronous stochastic gradient descent. At each iteration, W worker nodes split a mini-batch of size B; each worker computes the gradient of the loss on its portion of the data, and then a parameter server sums each worker’s gradient to yield the full mini-batch gradient.

  • Riseandgrind: Lessons from a Biased AI Conor Mcgarrigle Dublin School of Creative Arts, TU Dublin
    RADICAL IMMERSIONS: DRHA 2019 ---------------------------------------------------- #Riseandgrind: Lessons From a Biased AI Conor McGarrigle Dublin School of Creative Arts, TU Dublin Abstract: #RiseandGrind is a research-based artwork that, through a process of active engagement with the machine-learning tools of what is known as artificial intelligence, sought to make visible the complex relationship between the origins and context of training data and the results that are produced through the training process. The project using textual data extracted from Twitter hashtags that exhibit clear bias to train a recurrent neural network (RNN) to generate text for a Twitter bot, with the process of training and text generation represented in a series of gallery installations. The process demonstrated how original bias is consolidated, amplified, and ultimately codified through this machine learning process. It is suggested that this is not only reproductive of the original bias but also constitutive, in that black- box machine learning models shape the output but not in ways that are readily apparent or understood. This paper discusses the process of creating and exhibiting the work and reflects on its outcomes. Keywords: Twitter; Machine-learning; artificial intelligence; new media art; generative art; 1. Introduction #RiseandGrind, is an AI art project using textual data extracted from Twitter hashtags to train a recurrent neural network (RNN) to generate text for a Twitter bot, with the process of training and text generation represented in a series of gallery installations. The work was first commissioned in 2018 and exhibited in three different iterations in 2018 and 2019. The neural network was trained on two selected hashtags, #RiseandGrind and #Hustle, specifically chosen as representative of a Twitter filter bubble that I identify as embodied neoliberal precarity.

The mathematical model, data set used, and design of architecture for machine learning are all considered in ideal cases, but the things will change once they are brought to real life. In fact, there are more questions than answers regarding the broader implications rather than the traditional topic covered in the area of machine learning. What's more, the technology may not be able to reduce bias and prejudice as we expect. Our history, bias, and prejudices will impact the way we create the data sets. These biased data sets will be used to train the AI models, and the biased AI models will affect the way they make decisions. Consequently, these decisions will also influence the human's social issues such as bias and prejudices. This closed loop amplifies the social problems when we do not take consideration of the side effect of technology. For example, the ImageNet data set contains a lot of dogs and cats, but this data set cannot represent the whole picture of the real world in the sense that we have many things other than dogs and cats. In addition, modern technology is led by western civilization, and thus the value holds by western culture would also impact the way data set is created and the way technology is used.

  • Guaranteed Training of Neural Networks Using Tensor Methods
    Beating the Perils of Non-Convexity: Guaranteed Training of Neural Networks using Tensor Methods Majid Janzamin∗ Hanie Sedghi† Anima Anandkumar‡ Abstract Training neural networks is a challenging non-convex optimization problem, and backpropa- gation or gradient descent can get stuck in spurious local optima. We propose a novel algorithm based on tensor decomposition for guaranteed training of two-layer neural networks. We pro- vide risk bounds for our proposed method, with a polynomial sample complexity in the relevant parameters, such as input dimension and number of neurons. While learning arbitrary tar- get functions is NP-hard, we provide transparent conditions on the function and the input for learnability. Our training method is based on tensor decomposition, which provably converges to the global optimum, under a set of mild non-degeneracy conditions. It consists of simple embarrassingly parallel linear and multi-linear operations, and is competitive with standard stochastic gradient descent (SGD), in terms of computational complexity. Thus, we propose a computationally efficient method with guaranteed risk bounds for training neural networks with one hidden layer. Keywords: neural networks, risk bound, method-of-moments, tensor decomposition 1 Introduction Neural networks have revolutionized performance across multiple domains such as computer vision and speech recognition. They are flexible models trained to approximate any arbitrary target function, e.g., the label function for classification tasks. They are composed of multiple layers of neurons or activating functions, which are applied recursively on the input data, in order to predict the output. While neural networks have been extensively employed in practice, a complete theoretical understanding is currently lacking.

  • Neural Operator: Graph Kernel Network for Partial Differential Equations
    Neural Operator: Graph Kernel Network for Partial Differential Equations Zongyi Li, Nikola Kovachki, Kamyar Azizzadenesheli, Burigede Liu, Kaushik Bhattacharya, Andrew Stuart, Anima Anandkumar March 10, 2020 Abstract The classical development of neural networks has been primarily for mappings between a finite-dimensional Euclidean space and a set of classes, or between two finite-dimensional Euclidean spaces. The purpose of this work is to generalize neural networks so that they can learn mappings between infinite-dimensional spaces (operators). The key innovation in our work is that a single set of network parameters, within a carefully designed network architecture, may be used to describe mappings between infinite-dimensional spaces and between different finite- dimensional approximations of those spaces. We formulate approximation of the infinite-dimensional mapping by composing nonlinear activation functions and a class of integral operators. The kernel integration is computed by message passing on graph networks. This approach has substantial practical consequences which we will illustrate in the context of mappings between input data to partial differential equations (PDEs) and their solutions. In this context, such learned networks can generalize among different approximation methods for the PDE (such as finite difference or finite element methods) and among approximations corresponding to different underlying levels of resolution and discretization. Experiments confirm that the proposed graph kernel network does have the desired properties and show competitive performance compared to the state of the art solvers. 1 INTRODUCTION There are numerous applications in which it is desirable to learn a mapping between Banach spaces. In particular, either the input or the output space, or both, may be infinite-dimensional.
