Beyond the Mean: Fisher-Orthogonal Projection for Natural Gradient Descent in Large Batch Training

AAAI 2026technical

Modern GPUs are equipped with large amounts of high-bandwidth memory, enabling them to support mini-batch sizes of up to tens of thousands of training samples. However, most existing optimizers struggle to perform effectively at such a large batch size. As batch size increases, gradient noise decre

The Hidden Joules: Evaluating the Energy Consumption of Vision Backbones for Progress Towards More Efficient Model Inference

ICML 2025poster

Deep learning has achieved significant success but poses increasing concerns about energy consumption and sustainability. Despite these concerns, there is a lack of understanding of their energy efficiency during inference. In this study, we conduct a comprehensive analysis of the inference energy c…
