Mobile and embedded platforms are increasingly required to efficiently execute computationally demanding DNNs across heterogeneous processing elements. At run-time, the available hardware resources can vary considerably due other concurrently running applications. The performance requirements of applications could also change under different scenarios. To achieve desired performance, dynamic have been proposed in which number channels/layers be scaled real time meet varying resource...

The moving sofa problem, introduced by Leo Moser in 1966, seeks to determine the maximal area of a 2D shape that can navigate an L-shaped corridor unit width. Joseph Gerver’s 1992 solution, providing lower bound approximately 2.2195, is best known, though its global optimality remains unproven. This paper leverages neural networks’ approximation power and recent advances invexity optimization explore optimality. We propose two approaches supporting conjecture his unique maximum. first...
The Moving Sofa Problem, formally proposed by Leo Moser in 1966, seeks to determine the largest area of a two-dimensional shape that can navigate through an $L$-shaped corridor with unit width. current best lower bound is about 2.2195, achieved Joseph Gerver 1992, though its global optimality remains unproven.

Deep learning is becoming more widespread due to its power in solving complex classification problems. However, deep models often require large memory and energy consumption, which may prevent them from being deployed effectively on embedded platforms, limiting their application. This work addresses the problem of requirements by proposing a regularization approach compress footprint models. It shown that sparsity-inducing can be solved using an enhanced stochastic variance reduced gradient...
Nowadays, multi-relational classification has become a hotspot for research and application in the field of data mining. Compared to single table with simple structure, tables is more complicated.

A number of optimization approaches have been proposed for optimizing nonconvex objectives (e.g. deep learning models), such as batch gradient descent, stochastic descent and variance reduced descent. Theory shows these methods can converge by using an unbiased estimator. However, in practice biased estimation allow more efficient convergence to the vicinity since approach is computationally expensive. To produce fast there are two trade-offs strategies which between stochastic/batch,...
In this paper, we proposed a new technique, {\em variance controlled stochastic gradient} (VCSG), to improve the performance of reduced gradient (SVRG) algorithm. To avoid over-reducing by SVRG, hyper-parameter $\lambda$ is introduced in VCSG that able control SVRG. Theory shows optimization method can converge using an unbiased estimator, but practice, biased estimation allow more efficient convergence vicinity since approach computationally expensive. also has effect balancing trade-off...
