We propose a paradigm shift from fitting the whole architecture space using one strong predictor, to progressively fitting a search path towards the high-performance sub-space through a set of weaker predictors.

Weak NAS Predictor Is All You Need

no code implementations1 Jan 2021 Junru Wu, Xiyang Dai, Dongdong Chen, Yinpeng Chen, Mengchen Liu, Ye Yu, Zhangyang Wang, Zicheng Liu, Mei Chen, Lu Yuan

Rather than expecting a single strong predictor to model the whole space, we seek a progressive line of weak predictors that can connect a path to the best architecture, thus greatly simplifying the learning task of each predictor.

Deep Clustering and Representation Learning that Preserves Geometric Structures

no code implementations28 Sep 2020 Lirong Wu, Zicheng Liu, Zelin Zang, Jun Xia, Siyuan Li, Stan Z. Li

To overcome the problem that clusteringoriented losses may deteriorate the geometric structure of embeddings in the latent space, an isometric loss is proposed for preserving intra-manifold structure locally and a ranking loss for inter-manifold structure globally.

Dynamic Convolution: Attention over Convolution Kernels

5 code implementations CVPR 2020 Yinpeng Chen, Xiyang Dai, Mengchen Liu, Dong-Dong Chen, Lu Yuan, Zicheng Liu

Light-weight convolutional neural networks (CNNs) suffer performance degradation as their low computational budgets constrain both the depth (number of convolution layers) and the width (number of channels) of CNNs, resulting in limited representation capability.
