Exploring Alternatives to Softmax Function
Kunal Banerjee, Vishak Prasad C, Rishi Raj Gupta +3
Softmax function is widely used in artificial neural networks for multiclass classification, multilabel classification, attention mechanisms, etc. However, its efficacy is often qu…
K-TanH: Efficient TanH For Deep Learning
Abhisek Kundu, Alex Heinecke, Dhiraj Kalamkar +7
We propose K-TanH, a novel, highly accurate, hardware efficient approximation of popular activation function TanH for Deep Learning. K-TanH consists of parameterized low-precision…
High-Performance Deep Learning via a Single Building Block
Evangelos Georganas, Kunal Banerjee, Dhiraj Kalamkar +6
Deep learning (DL) is one of the most prominent branches of machine learning. Due to the immense computational cost of DL workloads, industry and academia have developed DL librari…
A Study of BFLOAT16 for Deep Learning Training
Dhiraj Kalamkar, Dheevatsa Mudigere, Naveen Mellempudi +16
This paper presents the first comprehensive empirical study demonstrating the efficacy of the Brain Floating Point (BFLOAT16) half-precision format for Deep Learning training acros…
