SAMSON: Sharpness-Aware Minimization Scaled by Outlier Normalization for Improving DNN Generalization and Robustness

no code implementations18 Nov 2022 Gonçalo Mordido, Sébastien Henwood, Sarath Chandar, François Leduc-Primeau

In this work, we show that applying sharpness-aware training, by optimizing for both the loss value and loss sharpness, significantly improves robustness to noisy hardware at inference time without relying on any assumptions about the target hardware.

MemSE: Fast MSE Prediction for Noisy Memristor-Based DNN Accelerators

no code implementations3 May 2022 Jonathan Kern, Sébastien Henwood, Gonçalo Mordido, Elsa Dupraz, Abdeldjalil Aïssa-El-Bey, Yvon Savaria, François Leduc-Primeau

Memristors enable the computation of matrix-vector multiplications (MVM) in memory and, therefore, show great potential in highly increasing the energy efficiency of deep neural network (DNN) inference accelerators.

Layerwise Noise Maximisation to Train Low-Energy Deep Neural Networks

no code implementations23 Dec 2019 Sébastien Henwood, François Leduc-Primeau, Yvon Savaria

Deep neural networks (DNNs) depend on the storage of a large number of parameters, which consumes an important portion of the energy used during inference.
