On the Inductive Bias of Stacking Towards Improving Reasoning
Nikunj Saunshi, Stefani Karp, Shankar Krishnan +3
Given the increasing scale of model sizes, novel training strategies like gradual stacking [Gong et al., 2019, Reddi et al., 2023] have garnered interest. Stacking enables efficien…
Landscape-Aware Growing: The Power of a Little LAG
Stefani Karp, Nikunj Saunshi, Sobhan Miryoosefi +2
Recently, there has been increasing interest in efficient pretraining paradigms for training Transformer-based models. Several recent approaches use smaller models to initialize la…
Role of Locality and Weight Sharing in Image-Based Tasks: A Sample Complexity Separation between CNNs, LCNs, and FCNs
Aakash Lahoti, Stefani Karp, Ezra Winston +2
Vision tasks are characterized by the properties of locality and translation invariance. The superior performance of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) on these tasks is widely a…
