Uncertainty-Guided Exploration for Efficient AlphaZero Training

NeurIPS 2025poster

AlphaZero has achieved remarkable success in complex decision-making problems through self-play and neural network training. However, its self-play process remains inefficient due to limited exploration of high-uncertainty positions, the overlooked runner-up decisions in Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCT…

Learn Locally, Correct Globally: A Distributed Algorithm for Training Graph Neural Networks

ICLR 2022poster

Despite the recent success of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), training GNNs on large graphs remains challenging. The limited resource capacities of the existing servers, the dependency between nodes in a graph, and the privacy concern due to the centralized storage and model learning have spurred the…

Structured in Space, Randomized in Time: Leveraging Dropout in RNNs for Efficient Training

NeurIPS 2021poster

Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), more specifically their Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) variants, have been widely used as a deep learning tool for tackling sequence-based learning tasks in text and speech. Training of such LSTM applications is computationally intensive due to the recurrent nature o…

GCN meets GPU: Decoupling “When to Sample” from “How to Sample”

NeurIPS 2020poster

Sampling-based methods promise scalability improvements when paired with stochastic gradient descent in training Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs). While effective in alleviating the neighborhood explosion, due to bandwidth and memory bottlenecks, these methods lead to computational overheads in p…
