Q: We present Random Partition Relaxation (RPR), a method for strong quantization of the parameters of convolutional neural networks to binary (+1/-1) and ternary (+1/0/-1) values. Starting from a pretrained model, we first quantize the weights and then relax random partitions of them to their continuous values for retraining before quantizing them again and switching to another weight partition for further adaptation. We empirically evaluate the performance of RPR with ResNet-18, ResNet-50 and GoogLeNet on the ImageNet classification task for binary and ternary weight networks. We show accuracies beyond the state-of-the-art for binary- and ternary-weight GoogLeNet and competitive performance for ResNet-18 and ResNet-50 using a SGD-based training method that can easily be integrated into existing frameworks.

A: State-of-the-art training method for binary and ternary weight networks based on alternating optimization of randomly relaxed weight partitions

Q: We propose a framework to model the distribution of sequential data coming from
a set of entities connected in a graph with a known topology. The method is
based on a mixture of shared hidden Markov models (HMMs), which are trained
in order to exploit the knowledge of the graph structure and in such a way that the
obtained mixtures tend to be sparse. Experiments in different application domains
demonstrate the effectiveness and versatility of the method.

Q: Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) units have the ability to memorise and use long-term dependencies between inputs to generate predictions on time series data. We introduce the concept of modifying the cell state (memory) of LSTMs using rotation matrices parametrised by a new set of trainable weights. This addition shows significant increases of performance on some of the tasks from the bAbI dataset.

A:
Adding a new set of weights to the LSTM that rotate the cell memory improves performance on some bAbI tasks.
