Pruning at Initialisation methods discover sparse, trainable subnetworks before training, but their theoretical mechanisms remain elusive. Existing analyses are often limited to finite-width statistics, lacking a rigorous characterisation of the global sparsity patterns that emerge as networks grow …
The intrinsic capability to continuously learn a changing data stream is a desideratum of deep neural networks (DNNs). However, current DNNs suffer from catastrophic forgetting, which interferes with remembering past knowledge. To mitigate this issue, existing Continual Learning (CL) approaches ofte…
Integrating knowledge graphs (KGs) to enhance the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) is an emerging research challenge in claim verification. While KGs provide structured, semantically rich representations well-suited for reasoning, most existing verification methods rely on unst…
Pruning at Initialization (PaI) is a technique in neural network optimization characterized by the proactive elimination of weights before the network's training on designated tasks. This innovative strategy potentially reduces the costs for training and inference, significantly advancing computatio…
Sparse neural networks promise efficiency, yet training them effectively remains a fundamental challenge. Despite advances in pruning methods that create sparse architectures, understanding why some sparse structures are better trainable than others with the same level of sparsity remains poorly und…
Claim verification is a long-standing and challenging task that demands not only high accuracy but also explainability and thoroughness of the verification process. This task becomes an emerging research issue in the era of large language models (LLMs) since real-world claims are often complex, feat…
This letter considers the problem of formation control of multi-robot systems represented by a graph featuring both rigid and elastic edges, capturing specified range tolerance to the desired inter-robot distances. The objective is to navigate the robots safely through unknown environments with obst
Pruning at initialization (PaI) aims to remove weights of neural networks before training in pursuit of training efficiency besides the inference. While off-the-shelf PaI methods manage to find trainable subnetworks that outperform random pruning, their performance in terms of both accuracy and com…
