Mitigating Outlier Activations in Low-Precision Fine-Tuning of Language Models

no code implementations14 Dec 2023 Alireza Ghaffari, Justin Yu, Mahsa Ghazvini Nejad, Masoud Asgharian, Boxing Chen, Vahid Partovi Nia

The benefit of using integers for outlier values is that it enables us to use operator tiling to avoid performing 16-bit integer matrix multiplication to address this problem effectively.

Mathematical Challenges in Deep Learning

no code implementations24 Mar 2023 Vahid Partovi Nia, Guojun Zhang, Ivan Kobyzev, Michael R. Metel, Xinlin Li, Ke Sun, Sobhan Hemati, Masoud Asgharian, Linglong Kong, Wulong Liu, Boxing Chen

Deep models are dominating the artificial intelligence (AI) industry since the ImageNet challenge in 2012.

Statistical Hardware Design With Multi-model Active Learning

no code implementations14 Mar 2023 Alireza Ghaffari, Masoud Asgharian, Yvon Savaria

For instance, in our performance prediction setting, the proposed method needs 65% fewer samples to create the model, and in the design space exploration setting, our proposed method can find the best parameter settings by exploring less than 50 samples.

Towards Fine-tuning Pre-trained Language Models with Integer Forward and Backward Propagation

no code implementations20 Sep 2022 Mohammadreza Tayaranian, Alireza Ghaffari, Marzieh S. Tahaei, Mehdi Rezagholizadeh, Masoud Asgharian, Vahid Partovi Nia

Previously researchers were focused on lower bit-width integer data types for the forward propagation of language models to save memory and computation.

A Causal Direction Test for Heterogeneous Populations

no code implementations8 Jun 2020 Vahid Partovi Nia, Xinlin Li, Masoud Asgharian, Shoubo Hu, Zhitang Chen, Yanhui Geng

Our simulation result show that the proposed adjustment significantly improves the performance of the causal direction test statistic for heterogeneous data.
