[EX Q]: Flow-based generative models are powerful exact likelihood models with efficient sampling and inference. 
 Despite their computational efficiency, flow-based models generally have much worse density modeling performance compared to state-of-the-art autoregressive models. In this paper, we investigate and improve upon three limiting design choices employed by flow-based models in prior work: the use of uniform noise for dequantization, the use of inexpressive affine flows, and the use of purely convolutional conditioning networks in coupling layers. Based on our findings, we propose Flow++, a new flow-based model that is now the state-of-the-art non-autoregressive model for unconditional density estimation on standard image benchmarks. Our work has begun to close the significant performance gap that has so far existed between autoregressive models and flow-based models.

[EX Q]: Claims from the fields of network neuroscience and connectomics suggest that topological models of the brain involving complex networks are of particular use and interest. The field of deep neural networks has mostly left inspiration from these claims out. In this paper, we propose three architectures and use each of them to explore the intersection of network neuroscience and deep learning in an attempt to bridge the gap between the two fields. Using the teachings from network neuroscience and connectomics, we show improvements over the ResNet architecture, we show a possible connection between early training and the spectral properties of the network, and we show the trainability of a DNN based on the neuronal network of C.Elegans.

[EX Q]: Network quantization is a model compression and acceleration technique that has become essential to neural network deployment. Most quantization methods per- form fine-tuning on a pretrained network, but this sometimes results in a large loss in accuracy compared to the original network. We introduce a new technique to train quantization-friendly networks, which can be directly converted to an accurate quantized network without the need for additional fine-tuning. Our technique allows quantizing the weights and activations of all network layers down to 4 bits, achieving high efficiency and facilitating deployment in practical settings. Com- pared to other fully quantized networks operating at 4 bits, we show substantial improvements in accuracy, for example 66.68% top-1 accuracy on ImageNet using ResNet-18, compared to the previous state-of-the-art accuracy of 61.52% Louizos et al. (2019) and a full precision reference accuracy of 69.76%. We performed a thorough set of experiments to test the efficacy of our method and also conducted ablation studies on different aspects of the method and techniques to improve training stability and accuracy. Our codebase and trained models are available on GitHub.
