SLiM: Speculative Decoding with Hypothesis Reduction

NAACL 2024findings

Speculative decoding has emerged as a prominent alternative to autoregressive decoding for expediting inference in large language models (LLMs). However, prevailing assumptions often focus solely on latency reduction, neglecting the computational expenses. In this paper, we present Speculate Less, v…

Fast Trainable Projection for Robust Fine-tuning

NeurIPS 2023poster

Robust fine-tuning aims to achieve competitive in-distribution (ID) performance while maintaining the out-of-distribution (OOD) robustness of a pre-trained model when transferring it to a downstream task. Recently, projected gradient descent has been successfully used in robust fine-tuning by constr…

Always Be Dreaming: A New Approach for Data-Free Class-Incremental Learning

ICCV 2021poster

Modern computer vision applications suffer from catastrophic forgetting when incrementally learning new concepts over time. The most successful approaches to alleviate this forgetting require extensive replay of previously seen data, which is problematic when memory constraints or data legality conc…

Unsupervised Progressive Learning and the STAM Architecture

IJCAI 2021poster

We first pose the Unsupervised Progressive Learning (UPL) problem: an online representation learning problem in which the learner observes a non-stationary and unlabeled data stream, learning a growing number of features that persist over time even though the data is not stored or replayed. To so…
