Carefully designed activation functions can improve the performance of neural networks in many machine learning tasks. However, it is difficult for humans to construct optimal activation functions, and current activation function search algorithms are prohibitively expensive. This paper aims to improve the state of the art through three steps: First, the benchmark datasets Act-Bench-CNN, Act-Bench-ResNet, and Act-Bench-ViT were created by training convolutional, residual, and vision transformer architectures from scratch with 2,913 systematically generated activation functions. Second, a characterization of the benchmark space was developed, leading to a new surrogate-based method for optimization. More specifically, the spectrum of the Fisher information matrix associated with the model's predictive distribution at initialization and the activation function's output distribution were found to be highly predictive of performance. Third, the surrogate was used to discover improved activation functions in CIFAR-100 and ImageNet tasks. Each of these steps is a contribution in its own right; together they serve as a practical and theoretical foundation for further research on activation function optimization.

在人工神經網絡中,給定一個輸入或一組輸入,節點的激活函數定義該節點的輸出。一個標準集成電路可以看作是一個由激活函數組成的數字網絡,根據輸入的不同,激活函數可以是開(1)或關(0)。這類似于神經網絡中的線性感知器的行為。然而,只有非線性激活函數允許這樣的網絡只使用少量的節點來計算重要問題,并且這樣的激活函數被稱為非線性。

Processing-in-memory (PIM) promises to alleviate the data movement bottleneck in modern computing systems. However, current real-world PIM systems have the inherent disadvantage that their hardware is more constrained than in conventional processors (CPU, GPU), due to the difficulty and cost of building processing elements near or inside the memory. As a result, general-purpose PIM architectures support fairly limited instruction sets and struggle to execute complex operations such as transcendental functions and other hard-to-calculate operations (e.g., square root). These operations are particularly important for some modern workloads, e.g., activation functions in machine learning applications. In order to provide support for transcendental (and other hard-to-calculate) functions in general-purpose PIM systems, we present \emph{TransPimLib}, a library that provides CORDIC-based and LUT-based methods for trigonometric functions, hyperbolic functions, exponentiation, logarithm, square root, etc. We develop an implementation of TransPimLib for the UPMEM PIM architecture and perform a thorough evaluation of TransPimLib's methods in terms of performance and accuracy, using microbenchmarks and three full workloads (Blackscholes, Sigmoid, Softmax). We open-source all our code and datasets at~\url{//github.com/CMU-SAFARI/transpimlib}.

Sparse Neural Networks (SNNs) can potentially demonstrate similar performance to their dense counterparts while saving significant energy and memory at inference. However, the accuracy drop incurred by SNNs, especially at high pruning ratios, can be an issue in critical deployment conditions. While recent works mitigate this issue through sophisticated pruning techniques, we shift our focus to an overlooked factor: hyperparameters and activation functions. Our analyses have shown that the accuracy drop can additionally be attributed to (i) Using ReLU as the default choice for activation functions unanimously, and (ii) Fine-tuning SNNs with the same hyperparameters as dense counterparts. Thus, we focus on learning a novel way to tune activation functions for sparse networks and combining these with a separate hyperparameter optimization (HPO) regime for sparse networks. By conducting experiments on popular DNN models (LeNet-5, VGG-16, ResNet-18, and EfficientNet-B0) trained on MNIST, CIFAR-10, and ImageNet-16 datasets, we show that the novel combination of these two approaches, dubbed Sparse Activation Function Search, short: SAFS, results in up to 15.53%, 8.88%, and 6.33% absolute improvement in the accuracy for LeNet-5, VGG-16, and ResNet-18 over the default training protocols, especially at high pruning ratios.

The goal of a speech-to-image transform is to produce a photo-realistic picture directly from a speech signal. Recently, various studies have focused on this task and have achieved promising performance. However, current speech-to-image approaches are based on a stacked modular framework that suffers from three vital issues: 1) Training separate networks is time-consuming as well as inefficient and the convergence of the final generative model strongly depends on the previous generators; 2) The quality of precursor images is ignored by this architecture; 3) Multiple discriminator networks are required to be trained. To this end, we propose an efficient and effective single-stage framework called Fusion-S2iGan to yield perceptually plausible and semantically consistent image samples on the basis of given spoken descriptions. Fusion-S2iGan introduces a visual+speech fusion module (VSFM), constructed with a pixel-attention module (PAM), a speech-modulation module (SMM) and a weighted-fusion module (WFM), to inject the speech embedding from a speech encoder into the generator while improving the quality of synthesized pictures. Fusion-S2iGan spreads the bimodal information over all layers of the generator network to reinforce the visual feature maps at various hierarchical levels in the architecture. We conduct a series of experiments on four benchmark data sets, i.e., CUB birds, Oxford-102, Flickr8k and Places-subset. The experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the presented Fusion-S2iGan compared to the state-of-the-art models with a multi-stage architecture and a performance level that is close to traditional text-to-image approaches.

Session-based recommendation which has been witnessed a booming interest recently, focuses on predicting a user's next interested item(s) based on an anonymous session. Most existing studies adopt complex deep learning techniques (e.g., graph neural networks) for effective session-based recommendation. However, they merely address co-occurrence between items, but fail to well distinguish causality and correlation relationship. Considering the varied interpretations and characteristics of causality and correlation relationship between items, in this study, we propose a novel method denoted as CGSR by jointly modeling causality and correlation relationship between items. In particular, we construct cause, effect and correlation graphs from sessions by simultaneously considering the false causality problem. We further design a graph neural network-based method for session-based recommendation. To conclude, we strive to explore the relationship between items from specific ``causality" (directed) and ``correlation" (undirected) perspectives. Extensive experiments on three datasets show that our model outperforms other state-of-the-art methods in terms of recommendation accuracy. Moreover, we further propose an explainable framework on CGSR, and demonstrate the explainability of our model via case studies on Amazon dataset.

Recently, Transformers have emerged as the go-to architecture for both vision and language modeling tasks, but their computational efficiency is limited by the length of the input sequence. To address this, several efficient variants of Transformers have been proposed to accelerate computation or reduce memory consumption while preserving performance. This paper presents an efficient vision Transformer, called CageViT, that is guided by convolutional activation to reduce computation. Our CageViT, unlike current Transformers, utilizes a new encoder to handle the rearranged tokens, bringing several technical contributions: 1) Convolutional activation is used to pre-process the token after patchifying the image to select and rearrange the major tokens and minor tokens, which substantially reduces the computation cost through an additional fusion layer. 2) Instead of using the class activation map of the convolutional model directly, we design a new weighted class activation to lower the model requirements. 3) To facilitate communication between major tokens and fusion tokens, Gated Linear SRA is proposed to further integrate fusion tokens into the attention mechanism. We perform a comprehensive validation of CageViT on the image classification challenge. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed CageViT outperforms the most recent state-of-the-art backbones by a large margin in terms of efficiency, while maintaining a comparable level of accuracy (e.g. a moderate-sized 43.35M model trained solely on 224 x 224 ImageNet-1K can achieve Top-1 accuracy of 83.4% accuracy).

With well-selected data, homogeneous diffusion inpainting can reconstruct images from sparse data with high quality. While 4K colour images of size 3840 x 2160 can already be inpainted in real time, optimising the known data for applications like image compression remains challenging: Widely used stochastic strategies can take days for a single 4K image. Recently, a first neural approach for this so-called mask optimisation problem offered high speed and good quality for small images. It trains a mask generation network with the help of a neural inpainting surrogate. However, these mask networks can only output masks for the resolution and mask density they were trained for. We solve these problems and enable mask optimisation for high-resolution images through a neuroexplicit coarse-to-fine strategy. Additionally, we improve the training and interpretability of mask networks by including a numerical inpainting solver directly into the network. This allows to generate masks for 4K images in around 0.6 seconds while exceeding the quality of stochastic methods on practically relevant densities. Compared to popular existing approaches, this is an acceleration of up to four orders of magnitude.

Recent advances in state-of-the-art DNN architecture design have been moving toward Transformer models. These models achieve superior accuracy across a wide range of applications. This trend has been consistent over the past several years since Transformer models were originally introduced. However, the amount of compute and bandwidth required for inference of recent Transformer models is growing at a significant rate, and this has made their deployment in latency-sensitive applications challenging. As such, there has been an increased focus on making Transformer models more efficient, with methods that range from changing the architecture design, all the way to developing dedicated domain-specific accelerators. In this work, we survey different approaches for efficient Transformer inference, including: (i) analysis and profiling of the bottlenecks in existing Transformer architectures and their similarities and differences with previous convolutional models; (ii) implications of Transformer architecture on hardware, including the impact of non-linear operations such as Layer Normalization, Softmax, and GELU, as well as linear operations, on hardware design; (iii) approaches for optimizing a fixed Transformer architecture; (iv) challenges in finding the right mapping and scheduling of operations for Transformer models; and (v) approaches for optimizing Transformer models by adapting the architecture using neural architecture search. Finally, we perform a case study by applying the surveyed optimizations on Gemmini, the open-source, full-stack DNN accelerator generator, and we show how each of these approaches can yield improvements, compared to previous benchmark results on Gemmini. Among other things, we find that a full-stack co-design approach with the aforementioned methods can result in up to 88.7x speedup with a minimal performance degradation for Transformer inference.

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have gained momentum in graph representation learning and boosted the state of the art in a variety of areas, such as data mining (\emph{e.g.,} social network analysis and recommender systems), computer vision (\emph{e.g.,} object detection and point cloud learning), and natural language processing (\emph{e.g.,} relation extraction and sequence learning), to name a few. With the emergence of Transformers in natural language processing and computer vision, graph Transformers embed a graph structure into the Transformer architecture to overcome the limitations of local neighborhood aggregation while avoiding strict structural inductive biases. In this paper, we present a comprehensive review of GNNs and graph Transformers in computer vision from a task-oriented perspective. Specifically, we divide their applications in computer vision into five categories according to the modality of input data, \emph{i.e.,} 2D natural images, videos, 3D data, vision + language, and medical images. In each category, we further divide the applications according to a set of vision tasks. Such a task-oriented taxonomy allows us to examine how each task is tackled by different GNN-based approaches and how well these approaches perform. Based on the necessary preliminaries, we provide the definitions and challenges of the tasks, in-depth coverage of the representative approaches, as well as discussions regarding insights, limitations, and future directions.

Modern neural network training relies heavily on data augmentation for improved generalization. After the initial success of label-preserving augmentations, there has been a recent surge of interest in label-perturbing approaches, which combine features and labels across training samples to smooth the learned decision surface. In this paper, we propose a new augmentation method that leverages the first and second moments extracted and re-injected by feature normalization. We replace the moments of the learned features of one training image by those of another, and also interpolate the target labels. As our approach is fast, operates entirely in feature space, and mixes different signals than prior methods, one can effectively combine it with existing augmentation methods. We demonstrate its efficacy across benchmark data sets in computer vision, speech, and natural language processing, where it consistently improves the generalization performance of highly competitive baseline networks.

In this paper, we propose a novel multi-task learning architecture, which incorporates recent advances in attention mechanisms. Our approach, the Multi-Task Attention Network (MTAN), consists of a single shared network containing a global feature pool, together with task-specific soft-attention modules, which are trainable in an end-to-end manner. These attention modules allow for learning of task-specific features from the global pool, whilst simultaneously allowing for features to be shared across different tasks. The architecture can be built upon any feed-forward neural network, is simple to implement, and is parameter efficient. Experiments on the CityScapes dataset show that our method outperforms several baselines in both single-task and multi-task learning, and is also more robust to the various weighting schemes in the multi-task loss function. We further explore the effectiveness of our method through experiments over a range of task complexities, and show how our method scales well with task complexity compared to baselines.
