SURGE: Surrogate Gradient Adaptation in Binary Neural Networks
Haoyu Huang, Boyu Liu, Linlin Yang +6
The training of Binary Neural Networks (BNNs) is fundamentally based on gradient approximation for non-differentiable binarization operations (e.g., sign function). However, prevai…
AMLRIS: Alignment-aware Masked Learning for Referring Image Segmentation
Tongfei Chen, Shuo Yang, Yuguang Yang +7
Referring Image Segmentation (RIS) aims to segment the object in an image uniquely referred to by a natural language expression. However, RIS training often contains hard-to-align…
Efficiently Seeking Flat Minima for Better Generalization in Fine-Tuning Large Language Models and Beyond
Jiaxin Deng, Qingcheng Zhu, Junbiao Pang +3
Little research explores the correlation between the expressive ability and generalization ability of the low-rank adaptation (LoRA). Sharpness-Aware Minimization (SAM) improves mo…
MEC-Quant: Maximum Entropy Coding for Extremely Low Bit Quantization-Aware Training
Junbiao Pang, Tianyang Cai, Baochang Zhang
Quantization-Aware Training (QAT) has driven much attention to produce efficient neural networks. Current QAT still obtains inferior performances compared with the Full Precision (…
Asymptotic Unbiased Sample Sampling to Speed Up Sharpness-Aware Minimization
Jiaxin Deng, Junbiao Pang, Baochang Zhang
Sharpness-Aware Minimization (SAM) has emerged as a promising approach for effectively reducing the generalization error. However, SAM incurs twice the computational cost compared…
In-Distribution Consistency Regularization Improves the Generalization of Quantization-Aware Training
Junbiao Pang, Tianyang Cai, Baochang Zhang +1
Although existing Quantization-Aware Training (QAT) methods intensively depend on knowledge distillation to guarantee performance, QAT still suffers from severe performance drop. T…
