  • Power Consumption Variation Over Activation Functions
    POWER CONSUMPTION VARIATION OVER ACTIVATION FUNCTIONS Leon Derczynski Department of Computer Science IT University of Copenhagen 2300 Denmark [email protected] ABSTRACT The power machine learning models consume when making predictions can be affected by a model’s architecture. This paper presents various estimates of power consumption for a range of different activation functions, a core factor in neural network model architecture design. Substantial differences in hardware perfor- mance exist between activation functions. This difference informs how power consumption in machine learning models can be reduced. 1 INTRODUCTION The field of deep neural networks has reported strong progress in many problem areas, including natural language processing (NLP), image recognition, and game playing. Many of the advances in these areas have been the fruit of using larger and thus more computationally demanding neural networks. Amodei & Hernandez (2018) find that the cost of training doubled every few months be- tween the releases of AlexNet (Krizhevsky et al., 2012) and AlphaZero Silver et al. (2018). In NLP, power consumption has also risen: Strubell et al. (2019) determine the carbon footprint of a con- temporary machine translation architecure search to be in the order of hundreds of intercontinental flights, for models that offer only marginal performance improvement. This paper examines activation functions, a core part of neural networks. The activation function is the non-linearity at the core of each network node. It is applied over the input and bias parameters at a given node for each inference that a model makes. This makes for a potentially large num- ber of computation being required to make predictions, predicated on network structure and size.

  • Meeting Minutes (Draft)
    VQEG meeting minutes Boulder, Colorado, USA January 25 - 29, 2010 Including Minutes from each day’s sessions. Note: the ITU‐T JRG‐MMQA meeting is held coincident with VQEG during the Multimedia and Hybrid sessions. VQEG Minutes from Monday 25 January 2010, Boulder Thanks to Filippo Speranza (CRC) for taking notes. Meeting starts at 9:15am. FS is designated as the note taker. Participant’s introductions. MP discusses meeting logistics: hours, restaurants, etc. Updates on Projects Group status work. 1) Independent Lab Group (ILG). KB clarifies that most of the ILG work has been in the HDTV test. Most of the subjective tests have been completed (the Acreo one still in progress); video test material has been distributed. 2) Multimedia2 CS notes that this multimedia test includes audio and video. In previous meeting a discussion was started regarding the methodology to be used. The plan in this meeting is to further clarify the method and define who’s doing what. 3) HDTV MP notes that all models were submitted. Most of the subjective data are now available; and some preliminary statistical analysis has been done by NTIA. 4) Hybrid – Perceptual/Bitstream CL notes that at the last meeting a group was created to define the `work system`. Two possible systems were posted by CL but no feedback has been provided. CL hopes that such feedback will be available in this meeting. 5) Tools and Subjective Labs Setup Group YD some tools were created for the Joint Effort Group (JEG) project. The tools are in the public ftp related to the JEG.

  • Arthurs Eyes Free
    FREE ARTHURS EYES PDF Marc Brown | 32 pages | 03 Apr 2008 | Little, Brown & Company | 9780316110693 | English | New York, United States Arthurs Eyes | Elwood City Wiki | Fandom The episode begins with four LeVars looking at seeing riddles in different ways. With one picture, the first one sees it as spots on a giraffe. The second one sees it as eyes and a nose when you turn it around at 90 degrees. The third one sees it as a close-up of Swiss cheese. The fourth one sees it as two balloons playing catch. It all depends on how you look at it. The four LeVars look at a couple more eye riddles. Many people see many things in different ways. Besides having a unique way of seeing things, people's other senses are unique too. LeVar loves coming Arthurs Eyes the farmer's bazaar because he gets surrounded by all kinds of sights, smells, and textures. He challenges the viewers' eyes at seeing Arthurs Eyes of certain fruits and vegetables. The things the viewers see are viewed through a special camera lens. Some people use special lenses to see things, especially when they can't see well. LeVar explains, "I wear glasses, and sometimes I wear contact lenses. A different color blindness, unlike with your eyes, has something to do with your mind. It has nothing to do with what you see, but how you see it. LeVar has a flipbook he made himself. The picture changes each time you turn a page. Flipping the pages faster looks like a moving film.

On the PBS television show ARTHUR, even Arthur knows someone with asthma. It’s his best friend Buster! We are committed to helping Boston families get the asthma care they need. More and more children in Boston these days have asthma. For many reasons, children in cities are at extra risk of asthma problems. The good news is that it can be kept under control. And when that happens, children with asthma can do all the things they like to do. It just takes good asthma management. This means being under a doctor’s care and taking daily medicine to prevent asthma Watch symptoms from starting. Children with asthma can also take ARTHUR ® quick relief medicine when asthma symptoms begin. on PBS KIDS Staying active to build strong lungs is a part of good asthma GO! management. Avoiding dust, tobacco smoke, car fumes, and other things that can start an asthma attack is important too. We hope this booklet can help the children you love stay active with asthma.

    Mr. Craig Duke Theatre Production E-Mail: [email protected] Phone: 908-464-4700 ext. 770 Syllabus 2010-2011 Period 2 Course Description: Theatre Production will introduce to the student, both novice and experienced, a practical approach to the technical and production aspects of musical theatre and drama. Students will learn the skills needed to construct scenery, hang and focus lighting instruments, implement a sound system for effects and reinforcement, and scenic artistry, all in a variety of techniques. In conjunction with the Music and Drama Departments, students will take an active role in each of the major productions at NPHS. Additionally, students will be introduced to theatrical design, and will be given an opportunity to draft their own designs for scenery and/or lighting of a theatrical production. Textbooks: There is no textbook for this class. Materials will be distributed in class, along with some notes. Several stagecraft books have been ordered for the NPHS Media Center. They are available in the reference section of the library, and I will refer to them in class from time to time. Most of the material presented comes from The Stagecraft Handbook by Daniel Ionazzi, and from Richard Pilbrow’s Stage Lighting Design. Course Topics: I. Introduction IV. Lighting for the Stage A. A Brief History of Theatre A. Why Light the Stage? B. The Production Team B. Instruments of the Designer C. Safety in the Theatre C. Properties of Light and Dark D. Tools of the Trade D.
