Brain network science modelling of sparse neural networks enables Transformers and LLMs to perform as fully connected
Yingtao Zhang, Diego Cerretti, Jialin Zhao +4
Dynamic sparse training (DST) can reduce the computational demands in ANNs, but faces difficulties in keeping peak performance at high sparsity levels. The Cannistraci-Hebb trainin…
Cannistraci-Hebb Training on Ultra-Sparse Spiking Neural Networks
Yuan Hua, Jilin Zhang, Yingtao Zhang +5
Inspired by the brain's spike-based computation, spiking neural networks (SNNs) inherently possess temporal activation sparsity. However, when it comes to the sparse training of SN…
Pivoting Factorization: A Compact Meta Low-Rank Representation of Sparsity for Efficient Inference in Large Language Models
Jialin Zhao, Yingtao Zhang, Carlo Vittorio Cannistraci
The rapid growth of Large Language Models has driven demand for effective model compression techniques to reduce memory and computation costs. Low-rank pruning has gained attention…
Sparse Spectral Training and Inference on Euclidean and Hyperbolic Neural Networks
Jialin Zhao, Yingtao Zhang, Xinghang Li +2
The growing demands on GPU memory posed by the increasing number of neural network parameters call for training approaches that are more memory-efficient. Previous memory reduction…
