Fast Approximate Natural Gradient Descent in a Kronecker-factored Eigenbasis

6 code implementations11 Jun 2018 Thomas George, César Laurent, Xavier Bouthillier, Nicolas Ballas, Pascal Vincent

Optimization algorithms that leverage gradient covariance information, such as variants of natural gradient descent (Amari, 1998), offer the prospect of yielding more effective descent directions.

Recurrent Batch Normalization

3 code implementations30 Mar 2016 Tim Cooijmans, Nicolas Ballas, César Laurent, Çağlar Gülçehre, Aaron Courville

We propose a reparameterization of LSTM that brings the benefits of batch normalization to recurrent neural networks.

Revisiting Loss Modelling for Unstructured Pruning

1 code implementation22 Jun 2020 César Laurent, Camille Ballas, Thomas George, Nicolas Ballas, Pascal Vincent

By removing parameters from deep neural networks, unstructured pruning methods aim at cutting down memory footprint and computational cost, while maintaining prediction accuracy.

Batch Normalized Recurrent Neural Networks

no code implementations5 Oct 2015 César Laurent, Gabriel Pereyra, Philémon Brakel, Ying Zhang, Yoshua Bengio

Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are powerful models for sequential data that have the potential to learn long-term dependencies.
