SparseOpt: Addressing Normalization-induced Gradient Skew in Sparse Training

ICML 2026poster

Dynamic Sparse Training (DST) methods train neural networks by maintaining sparsity while dynamically adapting the network topology. Despite the promise of reduced computation, DST methods converge significantly slower than dense training, often requiring comparable training time to achieve similar …

Sparse Training from Random Initialization: Aligning Lottery Ticket Masks using Weight Symmetry

ICML 2025poster

The Lottery Ticket Hypothesis (LTH) suggests there exists a sparse LTH mask and weights that achieve the same generalization performance as the dense model while using significantly fewer parameters. However, finding a LTH solution is computationally expensive, and a LTH sparsity mask does not gener…
