Spreads in Effective Learning Rates: The Perils of Batch Normalization During Early Training

no code implementations1 Jun 2023 Christian H. X. Ali Mehmeti-Göpel, Michael Wand

Using large LRs is analogous to applying an explicit solver to a stiff non-linear ODE, causing overshooting and vanishing gradients in lower layers after the first step.

Nonlinearities in Steerable SO(2)-Equivariant CNNs

no code implementations14 Sep 2021 Daniel Franzen, Michael Wand

Invariance under symmetry is an important problem in machine learning.

ActCooLR – High-Level Learning Rate Schedules using Activation Pattern Temperature

no code implementations NeurIPS 2021 David Hartmann, Sebastian Brodehl, Michael Wand

We consider the aspect of learning rate (LR-)scheduling in neural networks, which often significantly affects achievable training time and generalization performance.

Ringing ReLUs: Harmonic Distortion Analysis of Nonlinear Feedforward Networks

no code implementations ICLR 2021 Christian H.X. Ali Mehmeti-Göpel, David Hartmann, Michael Wand

In this paper, we apply harmonic distortion analysis to understand the effect of nonlinearities in the spectral domain.

Meta-Learning for Recalibration of EMG-Based Upper Limb Prostheses

no code implementations ICML Workshop LifelongML 2020 Krsto Proroković, Michael Wand, Jürgen Schmidhuber

An EMG-based upper limb prosthesis relies on a statistical pattern recognition system to map the EMG signal of residual forearm muscles into the appropriate hand movements.

Deep Non-Line-of-Sight Reconstruction

no code implementations CVPR 2020 Javier Grau Chopite, Matthias B. Hullin, Michael Wand, Julian Iseringhausen

We demonstrate that our feed-forward network, even though it is trained solely on synthetic data, generalizes to measured data from SPAD sensors and is able to obtain results that are competitive with model-based reconstruction methods.

Progressive Stochastic Binarization of Deep Networks

1 code implementation3 Apr 2019 David Hartmann, Michael Wand

By focusing computational attention using progressive sampling, we reduce inference costs on ImageNet further by a factor of up to 33% (before network pruning).

Lipreading with Long Short-Term Memory

no code implementations29 Jan 2016 Michael Wand, Jan Koutník, Jürgen Schmidhuber

Lipreading, i. e. speech recognition from visual-only recordings of a speaker's face, can be achieved with a processing pipeline based solely on neural networks, yielding significantly better accuracy than conventional methods.
