When Expressivity Meets Trainability: Fewer than Neurons Can Work

Jiawei Zhang, Yushun Zhang, Mingyi Hong +2

Modern neural networks are often quite wide, causing large memory and computation costs. It is thus of great interest to train a narrower network. However, training narrow neural n…

Federated Semi-Supervised Learning with Class Distribution Mismatch

Zhiguo Wang, Xintong Wang, Ruoyu Sun +1

Many existing federated learning (FL) algorithms are designed for supervised learning tasks, assuming that the local data owned by the clients are well labeled. However, in many pr…
