A predictor-corrector method for the training of deep neural networks

The training of deep neural nets is expensive. We present a predictor- corrector method for the training of deep neural nets. It alternates a predictor pass with a corrector pass using stochastic gradient descent with backpropagation such that there is no loss in validation accuracy. No special modifications to SGD with backpropagation is required by this methodology. Our experiments showed a time improvement of 9% on the CIFAR-10 dataset.

Leapfrogging for parallelism in deep neural networks

We present a technique, which we term leapfrogging, to parallelize back- propagation in deep neural networks. We show that this technique yields a savings of $1-1/k$ of a dominant term in backpropagation, where k is the number of threads (or gpus).

Using accumulation to optimize deep residual neural nets

Residual Neural Networks [1] won first place in all five main tracks of the ImageNet and COCO 2015 competitions. This kind of network involves the creation of pluggable modules such that the output contains a residual from the input. The residual in that paper is the identity function. We propose to include residuals from all lower layers, suitably normalized, to create the residual. This way, all previous layers contribute equally to the output of a layer. We show that our approach is an improvement on [1] for the CIFAR-10 dataset.
