Structured Multi-Hashing for Model Compression

Elad Eban, Yair Movshovitz-Attias, Hao Wu +4

Despite the success of deep neural networks (DNNs), state-of-the-art models are too large to deploy on low-resource devices or common server configurations in which multiple models…

Sampling the "Inverse Set" of a Neuron: An Approach to Understanding Neural Nets

Suryabhan Singh Hada, Miguel Á. Carreira-Perpiñán

With the recent success of deep neural networks in computer vision, it is important to understand the internal working of these networks. What does a given neuron represent? The co…

Style Transfer by Rigid Alignment in Neural Net Feature Space

Suryabhan Singh Hada, Miguel Á. Carreira-Perpiñán

Arbitrary style transfer is an important problem in computer vision that aims to transfer style patterns from an arbitrary style image to a given content image. However, current me…

Model compression as constrained optimization, with application to neural nets. Part II: quantization

Miguel Á. Carreira-Perpiñán, Yerlan Idelbayev

We consider the problem of deep neural net compression by quantization: given a large, reference net, we want to quantize its real-valued weights using a codebook with entries…

ParMAC: distributed optimisation of nested functions, with application to learning binary autoencoders

Miguel Á. Carreira-Perpiñán, Mehdi Alizadeh

Many powerful machine learning models are based on the composition of multiple processing layers, such as deep nets, which gives rise to nonconvex objective functions. A general, r…

An ensemble diversity approach to supervised binary hashing

Miguel Á. Carreira-Perpiñán, Ramin Raziperchikolaei

Binary hashing is a well-known approach for fast approximate nearest-neighbor search in information retrieval. Much work has focused on affinity-based objective functions involving…

A review of mean-shift algorithms for clustering

Miguel Á. Carreira-Perpiñán

A natural way to characterize the cluster structure of a dataset is by finding regions containing a high density of data. This can be done in a nonparametric way with a kernel dens…

Hashing with binary autoencoders

Miguel Á. Carreira-Perpiñán, Ramin Raziperchikolaei

An attractive approach for fast search in image databases is binary hashing, where each high-dimensional, real-valued image is mapped onto a low-dimensional, binary vector and the…

Optimizing affinity-based binary hashing using auxiliary coordinates

Ramin Raziperchikolaei, Miguel Á. Carreira-Perpiñán

In supervised binary hashing, one wants to learn a function that maps a high-dimensional feature vector to a vector of binary codes, for application to fast image retrieval. This t…

An ADMM algorithm for solving a proximal bound-constrained quadratic program

Miguel Á. Carreira-Perpiñán

We consider a proximal operator given by a quadratic function subject to bound constraints and give an optimization algorithm using the alternating direction method of multipliers…

The Laplacian K-modes algorithm for clustering

Weiran Wang, Miguel Á. Carreira-Perpiñán

In addition to finding meaningful clusters, centroid-based clustering algorithms such as K-means or mean-shift should ideally find centroids that are valid patterns in the input sp…

The role of dimensionality reduction in linear classification

Weiran Wang, Miguel Á. Carreira-Perpiñán

Dimensionality reduction (DR) is often used as a preprocessing step in classification, but usually one first fixes the DR mapping, possibly using label information, and then learns…

LASS: a simple assignment model with Laplacian smoothing

Miguel Á. Carreira-Perpiñán, Weiran Wang

We consider the problem of learning soft assignments of items to categories given two sources of information: an item-category similarity matrix, which encourages items to…

Projection onto the probability simplex: An efficient algorithm with a simple proof, and an application

Weiran Wang, Miguel Á. Carreira-Perpiñán

We provide an elementary proof of a simple, efficient algorithm for computing the Euclidean projection of a point onto the probability simplex. We also show an application in Lapla…

The K-modes algorithm for clustering

Miguel Á. Carreira-Perpiñán, Weiran Wang

Many clustering algorithms exist that estimate a cluster centroid, such as K-means, K-medoids or mean-shift, but no algorithm seems to exist that clusters data by returning exactly…
