Title:     Redundancy in Deep Learning

Abstract:
Deep Learning has lead to undeniable successes all over the machine
learning landscape. In contrast to most approaches, deep networks have much
larger model sizes and often fit many more parameters than training
examples. It is now apparent that a lot of these parameters are redundant
and encode similar things. In this talk I will show how to reduce the
redundancy in deep neural networks by compressing models through weight
hashing. I will also demonstrate how to leverage redundancy to make neural
networks deeper and more accurate. Finally, I will introduce a novel neural
network architecture, which, by design, incorporates these lessons and
leads to compact models with state-of-the-art generalization properties.

Bio:
Kilian Weinberger is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer
Science at Cornell University. He received his Ph.D. from the University of
Pennsylvania in Machine Learning under the supervision of Lawrence Saul and
his undergraduate degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from the
University of Oxford. During his career he has won several best paper
awards at ICML, CVPR, AISTATS and KDD (runner-up award). In 2011 he was
awarded the Outstanding AAAI Senior Program Chair Award and in 2012 he
received an NSF CAREER award. He is co-Program Chair for ICML 2016 and AAAI
2018. Kilian Weinberger's research focuses on Machine Learning and its
applications. In particular, he focuses on learning under resource
constraints, metric learning, machine learned web-search ranking, transfer-
and multi-task learning as well as biomedical applications and deep
learning. Before joining Cornell University, he was an Associate Professor
at Washington University in St. Louis and before that he worked as a
research scientist at Yahoo! Research in Santa Clara.
