Adaptive Gating Dynamics for Layer-Wise Sparsity Learning and Neural Network Pruning

Deep neural networks often contain substantial parameter redundancy, resulting in unnecessary computational cost and energy consumption. This work presents a dynamically adaptive gating mechanism for learning layer-wise sparsity through differentiable masking. In the proposed framework, each network parameter is associ...

Toward Solving the Learning Rate Problem in Convolutional Neural Networks Using an Enhanced Cyclical Learning Rate Strategy

The Cyclical Local Adaptive Learning Rate Strategy (CLARA) is proposed, an enhanced CLR that introduces scheduler-level adaptive learning rate adjustment and dynamically adjusts the lower learning rate bound in response to training behaviour to improve convergence consistency during training.

Elite-Weighted Supervised Fine-tuning for Goal-Directed Molecular Optimization

This work introduces Elite-Weighted Supervised Fine-tuning (EW-SFT), which uses reward to guide elite selection of high-scoring molecules, and updates the model by its own pretraining loss on that set, and consistently outperforms the corresponding native optimizers.
