InRank: Incremental Low-Rank Learning

1 code implementation20 Jun 2023 Jiawei Zhao, Yifei Zhang, Beidi Chen, Florian Schäfer, Anima Anandkumar

To remedy this, we design a new training algorithm Incremental Low-Rank Learning (InRank), which explicitly expresses cumulative weight updates as low-rank matrices while incrementally augmenting their ranks during training.

ZerO Initialization: Initializing Neural Networks with only Zeros and Ones

1 code implementation25 Oct 2021 Jiawei Zhao, Florian Schäfer, Anima Anandkumar

Deep neural networks are usually initialized with random weights, with adequately selected initial variance to ensure stable signal propagation during training.

Finally, we obtain the next iterate by following this direction according to the dual geometry induced by the Bregman potential.

Sparse Cholesky factorization by Kullback-Leibler minimization

1 code implementation29 Apr 2020 Florian Schäfer, Matthias Katzfuss, Houman Owhadi

We propose to compute a sparse approximate inverse Cholesky factor $L$ of a dense covariance matrix $\Theta$ by minimizing the Kullback-Leibler divergence between the Gaussian distributions $\mathcal{N}(0, \Theta)$ and $\mathcal{N}(0, L^{-\top} L^{-1})$, subject to a sparsity constraint.

Implicit competitive regularization in GANs

3 code implementations ICML 2020 Florian Schäfer, Hongkai Zheng, Anima Anandkumar

We show that opponent-aware modelling of generator and discriminator, as present in competitive gradient descent (CGD), can significantly strengthen ICR and thus stabilize GAN training without explicit regularization.
