Biologically plausible heavy-tailed connectivity enhances generalizations on cognitive tasks in recurrent neural networks

ICML 2026poster

While heavy-tailed synaptic weight distributions are pervasive in biological neural networks, their computational role---particularly in relation to generalization---remains poorly understood. To address this, we develop a novel optimal-transport-based optimization algorithm that incorporates key bi…

Against Membership Inference Attack: Pruning is All You Need

IJCAI 2021poster

The large model size, high computational operations, and vulnerability against membership inference attack (MIA) have impeded deep learning or deep neural networks (DNNs) popularity, especially on mobile devices. To address the challenge, we envision that the weight pruning technique will help DNNs…

Enabling Retrain-free Deep Neural Network Pruning Using Surrogate Lagrangian Relaxation

IJCAI 2021poster

Network pruning is a widely used technique to reduce computation cost and model size for deep neural networks. However, the typical three-stage pipeline, i.e., training, pruning and retraining (fine-tuning) significantly increases the overall training trails. In this paper, we develop a systematic w…
