Scaling neural network training increasingly depends on synchronous data-parallelism, yet full-precision gradient all-reduce imposes a severe communication bottleneck. We propose Decoupled Momentum Optimization, a drop-in replacement for any momentum-based optimizers that significantly reduces the c…
Decentralized Federated Learning (DFL) enables collaborative model training across connected clients without a central server, effectively mitigating communication bottlenecks and avoiding the single point of failure in Centralized Federated Learning (CFL). However, existing DFL methods mostly focus…
Few-shot object detection aims to detect novel classes with limited samples. Recent methods have leveraged the rich semantic representations of pretrained vision transformer (ViT) to overcome the limitations of model fine-tuning, thereby improving the performance on novel classes. However, existing…
Rotary Position Embeddings (RoPE) have been shown to effectively encode positional information in transformer-based language models. However, these models fail to generalize past the sequence length they were trained on. We present YaRN (Yet another RoPE extensioN method), a compute-efficient method…
