Don't Be So Dense: Sparse-to-Sparse GAN Training Without Sacrificing Performance

Shiwei Liu, Yuesong Tian, Tianlong Chen +1

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have received an upsurging interest since being proposed due to the high quality of the generated data. While achieving increasingly impressi…

The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Random Pruning: Return of the Most Naive Baseline for Sparse Training

Shiwei Liu, Tianlong Chen, Xiaohan Chen +4

Random pruning is arguably the most naive way to attain sparsity in neural networks, but has been deemed uncompetitive by either post-training pruning or sparse training. In this p…

Achieving Personalized Federated Learning with Sparse Local Models

Tiansheng Huang, Shiwei Liu, Li Shen +3

Federated learning (FL) is vulnerable to heterogeneously distributed data, since a common global model in FL may not adapt to the heterogeneous data distribution of each user. To c…

Do We Actually Need Dense Over-Parameterization? In-Time Over-Parameterization in Sparse Training

Shiwei Liu, Lu Yin, Decebal Constantin Mocanu +1

In this paper, we introduce a new perspective on training deep neural networks capable of state-of-the-art performance without the need for the expensive over-parameterization by p…
