Rethinking Local Learning: A Cheaper and Faster Recipe for LLM Post-Training
Hengyu Shi, Tianyang Han, Peizhe Wang +3
LLM post-training typically propagates task gradients through the full depth of the model. Although this end-to-end structure is simple and general, it couples task adaptation to f…
Replacement Learning: Training Neural Networks with Fewer Parameters
Yuming Zhang, Peizhe Wang, Tianyang Han +5
End-to-end training with full-depth backpropagation remains the dominant paradigm for optimizing deep neural networks, but its efficiency deteriorates as models grow deeper. Since…
MLAAN: Scaling Supervised Local Learning with Multilaminar Leap Augmented Auxiliary Network
Yuming Zhang, Shouxin Zhang, Peizhe Wang +5
Deep neural networks (DNNs) typically employ an end-to-end (E2E) training paradigm which presents several challenges, including high GPU memory consumption, inefficiency, and diffi…
Faster Multi-GPU Training with PPLL: A Pipeline Parallelism Framework Leveraging Local Learning
Xiuyuan Guo, Chengqi Xu, Guinan Guo +6
Currently, training large-scale deep learning models is typically achieved through parallel training across multiple GPUs. However, due to the inherent communication overhead and s…
Replacement Learning: Training Vision Tasks with Fewer Learnable Parameters
Yuming Zhang, Peizhe Wang, Shouxin Zhang +3
Traditional end-to-end deep learning models often enhance feature representation and overall performance by increasing the depth and complexity of the network during training. Howe…
