SlimFit: Memory-Efficient Fine-Tuning of Transformer-based Models Using Training Dynamics

NAACL 2024long

Transformer-based models, such as BERT and ViT, have achieved state-of-the-art results across different natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision (CV) tasks. However, these models are extremely memory intensive during their fine-tuning process, making them difficult to deploy on GPUs wit…

Learning Recurrent Binary/Ternary Weights

ICLR 2019poster

Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) have shown excellent performance in processing sequence data. However, they are both complex and memory intensive due to their recursive nature. These limitations make RNNs difficult to embed on mobile devices requiring real-time processes with limited hardware resou…
