Abstract: A student model may be trained in two stages by using two teacher models, respectively. The first teacher model has been trained with a pretraining dataset. The second teacher model has been trained with a training dataset that is specific to a task to be performed by the student model. In the first stage, the student model may be generated based on a structure of the first teacher model. Internal parameters of the student model are adjusted through a pretraining process based on the first teacher model and the pretraining dataset. Weights of the student model may be pruned during the pretraining process. In the second stage, a sparsity mask is generated for the student model to lock the sparsity pattern generated from the first stage. Further, some of the internal parameters of the student model are modified based on the second teacher model and the training dataset.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for efficiently creating less computationally intensive nodes for a neural network. In various implementations, a computing system includes a memory that stores multiple input data values for training a neural network, and a processor. Rather than determine a bit width P of an integer accumulator of a node of the neural network based on bit widths of the input data values and corresponding weight values, the processor selects the bit width P during training. The processor adjusts the magnitudes of the weight values during iterative stages of training the node such that an L1 norm value of the weight values of the node does not exceed a corresponding weight magnitude limit.

Abstract: Provided are systems and methods which more efficiency train embedding models through the use of a cache of item embeddings for candidate items over a number of training iterations. The cached item embeddings can be “stale” embeddings that were generated by a previous version of the model at a previous training iteration. Specifically, at each iteration, the (potentially stale) item embeddings included in the cache can be used when generating similarity scores that are the basis for sampling a number of items to use as negatives in the current training iteration. For example, a Gumbel-Max sampling approach can be used to sample negative items that will enable an approximation of a true gradient. New embeddings can be generated for the sampled negative items and can be used to train the model at the current iteration.
