Parameter-Efficient Deep Neural Networks With Bilinear Projections
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Recent research on deep neural networks (DNNs) has primarily focused on improving the model accuracy. Given a proper deep learning framework, it is generally possible to increase the depth or layer width to achieve a higher level of accuracy. However, the huge number of model parameters imposes more computational and memory usage overhead and leads to the parameter redundancy. In this article, we address the parameter redundancy problem in DNNs by replacing conventional full projections with bilinear projections (BPs). For a fully connected layer with D input nodes and D output nodes, applying BP can reduce the model space complexity fromO(D2) toO(2D), achieving a deep model with a sublinear layer size. However, the structured projection has a lower freedom of degree compared with the full projection, causing the underfitting problem. Therefore, we simply scale up the mapping size by increasing the number of output channels, which can keep and even boosts the model accuracy. This makes it very parameter-efficient and handy to deploy such deep models on mobile systems with memory limitations. Experiments on four benchmark data sets show that applying the proposed BP to DNNs can achieve even higher accuracies than conventional full DNNs while significantly reducing the model size.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
