Communication-Efficient Language Model Training Scales Reliably and Robustly: Scaling Laws for DiLoCo

NeurIPS 2025spotlight

As we scale to more massive machine learning models, the frequent synchronization demands inherent in data-parallel approaches create significant slowdowns, posing a critical challenge to further scaling. Recent work develops an approach (DiLoCo) that relaxes synchronization demands without compromi…

Understanding outer learning rates in Local SGD

NeurIPS 2025poster

Modern machine learning often requires training with large batch size, distributed data, and massively parallel compute hardware (like mobile and other edge devices or distributed data centers). Communication becomes a major bottleneck in such settings but methods like Local Stochastic Gradient Desc…

CoMFormer: Continual Learning in Semantic and Panoptic Segmentation

CVPR 2023poster

Continual learning for segmentation has recently seen increasing interest. However, all previous works focus on narrow semantic segmentation and disregard panoptic segmentation, an important task with real-world impacts. In this paper, we present the first continual learning model capable of operati…

DyTox: Transformers for Continual Learning With DYnamic TOken eXpansion

CVPR 2022poster

Deep network architectures struggle to continually learn new tasks without forgetting the previous tasks. A recent trend indicates that dynamic architectures based on an expansion of the parameters can reduce catastrophic forgetting efficiently in continual learning. However, existing approaches oft…

PLOP: Learning Without Forgetting for Continual Semantic Segmentation

CVPR 2021poster

Deep learning approaches are nowadays ubiquitously used to tackle computer vision tasks such as semantic segmentation, requiring large datasets and substantial computational power. Continual learning for semantic segmentation (CSS) is an emerging trend that consists in updating an old model by seque…

PODNet: Pooled Outputs Distillation for Small-Tasks Incremental Learning

ECCV 2020poster

Lifelong learning has attracted much attention, but existing works still struggle to fight catastrophic forgetting and accumulate knowledge over long stretches of incremental learning. In this work, we propose PODNet, a model inspired by representation learning. By carefully balancing the compromise…
