Distributed data-parallel (DDP) training improves overall application throughput as multiple devices train on a subset of data and aggregate updates to produce a globally shared model. The periodic synchronization at each iteration incurs considerable overhead, exacerbated by the increasing size and complexity of state-of-the-art neural networks. Although many gradient compression techniques propose to reduce communication cost, the ideal compression factor that leads to maximum speedup or minimum data exchange remains an open-ended problem since it varies with the quality of compression, model size and structure, hardware, network topology and bandwidth. We propose GraVAC, a framework to dynamically adjust compression factor throughout training by evaluating model progress and assessing gradient information loss associated with compression. GraVAC works in an online, black-box manner without any prior assumptions about a model or its hyperparameters, while achieving the same or better accuracy than dense SGD (i.e., no compression) in the same number of iterations/epochs. As opposed to using a static compression factor, GraVAC reduces end-to-end training time for ResNet101, VGG16 and LSTM by 4.32x, 1.95x and 6.67x respectively. Compared to other adaptive schemes, our framework provides 1.94x to 5.63x overall speedup.

Geometry problem solving presents a formidable challenge within the NLP community. Existing approaches often rely on models designed for solving math word problems, neglecting the unique characteristics of geometry math problems. Additionally, the current research predominantly focuses on geometry calculation problems, while overlooking other essential aspects like proving. In this study, we address these limitations by proposing the Geometry-Aware Problem Solver (GAPS) model. GAPS is specifically designed to generate solution programs for geometry math problems of various types with the help of its unique problem-type classifier. To achieve this, GAPS treats the solution program as a composition of operators and operands, segregating their generation processes. Furthermore, we introduce the geometry elements enhancement method, which enhances the ability of GAPS to recognize geometry elements accurately. By leveraging these improvements, GAPS showcases remarkable performance in resolving geometry math problems. Our experiments conducted on the UniGeo dataset demonstrate the superiority of GAPS over the state-of-the-art model, Geoformer. Specifically, GAPS achieves an accuracy improvement of more than 5.3% for calculation tasks and an impressive 41.1% for proving tasks. Notably, GAPS achieves an impressive accuracy of 97.5% on proving problems, representing a significant advancement in solving geometry proving tasks.

Secure two-party computation with homomorphic encryption (HE) protects data privacy with a formal security guarantee but suffers from high communication overhead. While previous works, e.g., Cheetah, Iron, etc, have proposed efficient HE-based protocols for different neural network (NN) operations, they still assume high precision, e.g., fixed point 37 bit, for the NN operations and ignore NNs' native robustness against quantization error. In this paper, we propose HEQuant, which features low-precision-quantization-aware optimization for the HE-based protocols. We observe the benefit of a naive combination of quantization and HE quickly saturates as bit precision goes down. Hence, to further improve communication efficiency, we propose a series of optimizations, including an intra-coefficient packing algorithm and a quantization-aware tiling algorithm, to simultaneously reduce the number and precision of the transferred data. Compared with prior-art HE-based protocols, e.g., CrypTFlow2, Cheetah, Iron, etc, HEQuant achieves $3.5\sim 23.4\times$ communication reduction and $3.0\sim 9.3\times$ latency reduction. Meanwhile, when compared with prior-art network optimization frameworks, e.g., SENet, SNL, etc, HEQuant also achieves $3.1\sim 3.6\times$ communication reduction.

Videos captured from multiple viewpoints can help in perceiving the 3D structure of the world and benefit computer vision tasks such as action recognition, tracking, etc. In this paper, we present a method for self-supervised learning from synchronized multi-view videos. We use a cross-view reconstruction task to inject geometry information in the model. Our approach is based on the masked autoencoder (MAE) framework. In addition to the same-view decoder, we introduce a separate cross-view decoder which leverages cross-attention mechanism to reconstruct a target viewpoint video using a video from source viewpoint, to help representations robust to viewpoint changes. For videos, static regions can be reconstructed trivially which hinders learning meaningful representations. To tackle this, we introduce a motion-weighted reconstruction loss which improves temporal modeling. We report state-of-the-art results on the NTU-60, NTU-120 and ETRI datasets, as well as in the transfer learning setting on NUCLA, PKU-MMD-II and ROCOG-v2 datasets, demonstrating the robustness of our approach. Code will be made available.

We propose an efficient cross-cameras surveillance system called,STAC, that leverages spatio-temporal associations between multiple cameras to provide real-time analytics and inference under constrained network environments. STAC is built using the proposed omni-scale feature learning people reidentification (reid) algorithm that allows accurate detection, tracking and re-identification of people across cameras using the spatio-temporal characteristics of video frames. We integrate STAC with frame filtering and state-of-the-art compression for streaming technique (that is, ffmpeg libx264 codec) to remove redundant information from cross-camera frames. This helps in optimizing the cost of video transmission as well as compute/processing, while maintaining high accuracy for real-time query inference. The introduction of AICity Challenge 2023 Data [1] by NVIDIA has allowed exploration of systems utilizing multi-camera people tracking algorithms. We evaluate the performance of STAC using this dataset to measure the accuracy metrics and inference rate for reid. Additionally, we quantify the reduction in video streams achieved through frame filtering and compression using FFmpeg compared to the raw camera streams. For completeness, we make available our repository to reproduce the results, available at //github.com/VolodymyrVakhniuk/CS444_Final_Project.

Knowledge base question answering (KBQA) is a critical yet challenging task due to the vast number of entities within knowledge bases and the diversity of natural language questions posed by users. Unfortunately, the performance of most KBQA models tends to decline significantly in real-world scenarios where high-quality annotated data is insufficient. To mitigate the burden associated with manual annotation, we introduce FlexKBQA by utilizing Large Language Models (LLMs) as program translators for addressing the challenges inherent in the few-shot KBQA task. Specifically, FlexKBQA leverages automated algorithms to sample diverse programs, such as SPARQL queries, from the knowledge base, which are subsequently converted into natural language questions via LLMs. This synthetic dataset facilitates training a specialized lightweight model for the KB. Additionally, to reduce the barriers of distribution shift between synthetic data and real user questions, FlexKBQA introduces an executionguided self-training method to iterative leverage unlabeled user questions. Furthermore, we explore harnessing the inherent reasoning capability of LLMs to enhance the entire framework. Consequently, FlexKBQA delivers substantial flexibility, encompassing data annotation, deployment, and being domain agnostic. Through extensive experiments on GrailQA, WebQSP, and KQA Pro, we observe that under the few-shot even the more challenging zero-shot scenarios, FlexKBQA achieves impressive results with a few annotations, surpassing all previous baselines and even approaching the performance of supervised models, achieving a remarkable 93% performance relative to the fully-supervised models. We posit that FlexKBQA represents a significant advancement towards exploring better integration of large and lightweight models. The code is open-sourced.

Graph convolutional network (GCN) has been successfully applied to many graph-based applications; however, training a large-scale GCN remains challenging. Current SGD-based algorithms suffer from either a high computational cost that exponentially grows with number of GCN layers, or a large space requirement for keeping the entire graph and the embedding of each node in memory. In this paper, we propose Cluster-GCN, a novel GCN algorithm that is suitable for SGD-based training by exploiting the graph clustering structure. Cluster-GCN works as the following: at each step, it samples a block of nodes that associate with a dense subgraph identified by a graph clustering algorithm, and restricts the neighborhood search within this subgraph. This simple but effective strategy leads to significantly improved memory and computational efficiency while being able to achieve comparable test accuracy with previous algorithms. To test the scalability of our algorithm, we create a new Amazon2M data with 2 million nodes and 61 million edges which is more than 5 times larger than the previous largest publicly available dataset (Reddit). For training a 3-layer GCN on this data, Cluster-GCN is faster than the previous state-of-the-art VR-GCN (1523 seconds vs 1961 seconds) and using much less memory (2.2GB vs 11.2GB). Furthermore, for training 4 layer GCN on this data, our algorithm can finish in around 36 minutes while all the existing GCN training algorithms fail to train due to the out-of-memory issue. Furthermore, Cluster-GCN allows us to train much deeper GCN without much time and memory overhead, which leads to improved prediction accuracy---using a 5-layer Cluster-GCN, we achieve state-of-the-art test F1 score 99.36 on the PPI dataset, while the previous best result was 98.71 by [16]. Our codes are publicly available at //github.com/google-research/google-research/tree/master/cluster_gcn.

With the capability of modeling bidirectional contexts, denoising autoencoding based pretraining like BERT achieves better performance than pretraining approaches based on autoregressive language modeling. However, relying on corrupting the input with masks, BERT neglects dependency between the masked positions and suffers from a pretrain-finetune discrepancy. In light of these pros and cons, we propose XLNet, a generalized autoregressive pretraining method that (1) enables learning bidirectional contexts by maximizing the expected likelihood over all permutations of the factorization order and (2) overcomes the limitations of BERT thanks to its autoregressive formulation. Furthermore, XLNet integrates ideas from Transformer-XL, the state-of-the-art autoregressive model, into pretraining. Empirically, XLNet outperforms BERT on 20 tasks, often by a large margin, and achieves state-of-the-art results on 18 tasks including question answering, natural language inference, sentiment analysis, and document ranking.

The cross-domain recommendation technique is an effective way of alleviating the data sparsity in recommender systems by leveraging the knowledge from relevant domains. Transfer learning is a class of algorithms underlying these techniques. In this paper, we propose a novel transfer learning approach for cross-domain recommendation by using neural networks as the base model. We assume that hidden layers in two base networks are connected by cross mappings, leading to the collaborative cross networks (CoNet). CoNet enables dual knowledge transfer across domains by introducing cross connections from one base network to another and vice versa. CoNet is achieved in multi-layer feedforward networks by adding dual connections and joint loss functions, which can be trained efficiently by back-propagation. The proposed model is evaluated on two real-world datasets and it outperforms baseline models by relative improvements of 3.56\% in MRR and 8.94\% in NDCG, respectively.

Recurrent neural nets (RNN) and convolutional neural nets (CNN) are widely used on NLP tasks to capture the long-term and local dependencies, respectively. Attention mechanisms have recently attracted enormous interest due to their highly parallelizable computation, significantly less training time, and flexibility in modeling dependencies. We propose a novel attention mechanism in which the attention between elements from input sequence(s) is directional and multi-dimensional (i.e., feature-wise). A light-weight neural net, "Directional Self-Attention Network (DiSAN)", is then proposed to learn sentence embedding, based solely on the proposed attention without any RNN/CNN structure. DiSAN is only composed of a directional self-attention with temporal order encoded, followed by a multi-dimensional attention that compresses the sequence into a vector representation. Despite its simple form, DiSAN outperforms complicated RNN models on both prediction quality and time efficiency. It achieves the best test accuracy among all sentence encoding methods and improves the most recent best result by 1.02% on the Stanford Natural Language Inference (SNLI) dataset, and shows state-of-the-art test accuracy on the Stanford Sentiment Treebank (SST), Multi-Genre natural language inference (MultiNLI), Sentences Involving Compositional Knowledge (SICK), Customer Review, MPQA, TREC question-type classification and Subjectivity (SUBJ) datasets.
