In this task, you are given the abstract of a research paper. Your task is to generate a summary of this abstract. Your summary should not be very short, but it's better if it's not more than 30 words.
One example is below.
Q: Mixed precision training (MPT) is becoming a practical technique to improve the speed and energy efficiency of training deep neural networks by leveraging the fast hardware support for IEEE half-precision floating point that is available in existing GPUs. MPT is typically used in combination with a technique called loss scaling, that works by scaling up the loss value up before the start of backpropagation in order to minimize the impact of numerical underflow on training. Unfortunately, existing methods make this loss scale value a hyperparameter that needs to be tuned per-model, and a single scale cannot be adapted to different layers at different training stages. We introduce a loss scaling-based training method called adaptive loss scaling that makes MPT easier and more practical to use, by removing the need to tune a model-specific loss scale hyperparameter. We achieve this by introducing layer-wise loss scale values which are automatically computed during training to deal with underflow more effectively than existing methods. We present experimental results on a variety of networks and tasks that show our approach can shorten the time to convergence and improve accuracy, compared with using the existing state-of-the-art MPT and single-precision floating point.
A: We devise adaptive loss scaling to improve mixed precision training that surpass the state-of-the-art results.
Rationale: The abstract focusses on designing an adaptive loss scaling method, hence the generated output is correct.
Q: In deep learning, performance is strongly affected by the choice of architecture
and hyperparameters. While there has been extensive work on automatic hyperpa-
rameter optimization for simple spaces, complex spaces such as the space of deep
architectures remain largely unexplored. As a result, the choice of architecture is
done manually by the human expert through a slow trial and error process guided
mainly by intuition. In this paper we describe a framework for automatically
designing and training deep models. We propose an extensible and modular lan-
guage that allows the human expert to compactly represent complex search spaces
over architectures and their hyperparameters. The resulting search spaces are tree-
structured and therefore easy to traverse. Models can be automatically compiled to
computational graphs once values for all hyperparameters have been chosen. We
can leverage the structure of the search space to introduce different model search
algorithms, such as random search, Monte Carlo tree search (MCTS), and sequen-
tial model-based optimization (SMBO). We present experiments comparing the
different algorithms on CIFAR-10 and show that MCTS and SMBO outperform
random search. We also present experiments on MNIST, showing that the same
search space achieves near state-of-the-art performance with a few samples. These
experiments show that our framework can be used effectively for model discov-
ery, as it is possible to describe expressive search spaces and discover competitive
models without much effort from the human expert. Code for our framework and
experiments has been made publicly available

We describe a modular and composable language for describing expressive search spaces over architectures and simple model search algorithms applied to these search spaces.
