Ordered Momentum for Asynchronous SGD

Ordered Momentum for Asynchronous SGD

arXiv:2407.19234v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Distributed learning is indispensable for training large-scale deep models. Asynchronous SGD~(ASGD) and its variants are commonly used distributed learning methods in many scenarios where the computing capabilities of workers in the cluster are heterogeneous. Momentum has been acknowledged for its benefits in both optimization and generalization in deep model training. However, existing works have found that naively incorporating momentum into ASGD can impede the convergence. In this paper, we propose a novel method, called ordered momentum (OrMo), for ASGD. In OrMo, momentum is incorporated into ASGD by organizing the gradients in order based on their…

Macros in C

Macros in C

Macros in C are preprocessor directives that define constant values or reusable code snippets, improving code efficiency and readability. Defined using the #define directive, they replace specified identifiers with their values or code before compilation. Macros can be simple constants or more complex, parameterized snippets. For example, defining a constant for the value of pi or creating inline functions to avoid function call overhead. However, macros do not provide type checking and can lead to errors if not used carefully. They are a powerful tool but should be used judiciously to maintain code clarity and correctness.

The Hermès heir who planned to leave billions to his gardener now says his fortune is gone

The Hermès heir who planned to leave billions to his gardener now says his fortune is gone

Nicolas Puech, a descendant of Hermès founder Thierry Hermès — who made headlines last year after he reportedly planned to leave half his fortune to his former gardener — is now claiming his billions have disappeared.The 81-year-old alleged in court filings he no longer owns 6 million shares of Hermès worth about $13 billion and that his former wealth manager of more than two decades, Eric Freymond, played a part in the loss, according to a report in Swiss investigative news outlet Gotham City. But a Swiss court threw out Puech's allegations earlier this month, writing that the alleged fraud…

Reducing Spurious Correlation for Federated Domain Generalization

Reducing Spurious Correlation for Federated Domain Generalization

arXiv:2407.19174v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The rapid development of multimedia has provided a large amount of data with different distributions for visual tasks, forming different domains. Federated Learning (FL) can efficiently use this diverse data distributed on different client media in a decentralized manner through model sharing. However, in open-world scenarios, there is a challenge: global models may struggle to predict well on entirely new domain data captured by certain media, which were not encountered during training. Existing methods still rely on strong statistical correlations between samples and labels to address this issue, which can be misleading, as some features…

Alleviating Over-Smoothing via Aggregation over Compact Manifolds

Alleviating Over-Smoothing via Aggregation over Compact Manifolds

arXiv:2407.19231v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph neural networks (GNNs) have achieved significant success in various applications. Most GNNs learn the node features with information aggregation of its neighbors and feature transformation in each layer. However, the node features become indistinguishable after many layers, leading to performance deterioration: a significant limitation known as over-smoothing. Past work adopted various techniques for addressing this issue, such as normalization and skip-connection of layer-wise output. After the study, we found that the information aggregations in existing work are all contracted aggregations, with the intrinsic property that features will inevitably converge to the same single point…
