GuideBoot: Guided Bootstrap for Deep Contextual Bandits

no code implementations18 Jul 2021 Feiyang Pan, Haoming Li, Xiang Ao, Wei Wang, Yanrong Kang, Ao Tan, Qing He

The proposed method is efficient as it can make decisions on-the-fly by utilizing only one randomly chosen model, but is also effective as we show that it can be viewed as a non-Bayesian approximation of Thompson sampling.

Layer-wise Model Pruning based on Mutual Information

no code implementations EMNLP 2021 Chun Fan, Jiwei Li, Xiang Ao, Fei Wu, Yuxian Meng, Xiaofei Sun

The proposed pruning strategy offers merits over weight-based pruning techniques: (1) it avoids irregular memory access since representations and matrices can be squeezed into their smaller but dense counterparts, leading to greater speedup; (2) in a manner of top-down pruning, the proposed method operates from a more global perspective based on training signals in the top layer, and prunes each layer by propagating the effect of global signals through layers, leading to better performances at the same sparsity level.
