Weight and activation binarization is an effective approach to deep neural network compression can accelerate the inference by leveraging bitwise operations. Although many methods have improved accuracy of model minimizing quantization error in forward propagation, there remains a noticeable performance gap between binarized full-precision one. Our empirical study indicates that brings information loss both backward which bottleneck training accurate binary networks. To address these issues,...
Recently, perception task based on Bird's-Eye View (BEV) representation has drawn more and attention, BEV is promising as the foundation for next-generation Autonomous Vehicle (AV) perception. However, most existing solutions either require considerable resources to execute on-vehicle inference or suffer from modest performance. This paper proposes a simple yet effective framework, termed Fast-BEV, which capable of performing faster chips. Towards this goal, we first empirically find that...
Binary neural networks have attracted tremendous attention due to the efficiency for deploying them on mobile devices. Since weak expression ability of binary weights and features, their accuracy is usually much lower than that full-precision (i.e. 32-bit) models. Here we present a new frame work automatically searching compact but accurate networks. In practice, number channels in each layer will be encoded into search space optimized using evolutionary algorithm. Experiments conducted...

Deep neural networks (DNNs) are widely used in various applications. The accurate and latency feedback is essential for model design deployment. In this work, we attempt to alleviate the cost of acquisition from two aspects: query prediction.

Powered by this, queries be fulfilled with a simple interface calling. For efficient utilization...
Diffusion models are widely recognized for generating high-quality and diverse images, but their poor real-time performance has led to numerous acceleration works, primarily focusing on UNet-based structures. With the more successful results achieved by diffusion transformers (DiT), there is still a lack of exploration regarding impact DiT structure generation, as well absence an framework tailored architecture. To tackle these challenges, we conduct investigation into correlation between...

To study the effect biochar addition combined with and inorganic fertilizers on growth fertility microbial community in purple soil, completely randomized block design was designed three levels [B0: no biochar, B1: low-rate (35 t/ha) , B2: high-rate (50 t/ha)]; two [F1: fertilizer (30 kg/ha N, 87.5 P 2 O 5 60 K O); F2: (60 175 120 O)]; [M1: fertilizer; M2: (4.5 t/ha)]....
Graphs are widely used to encapsulate a variety of data formats, but real-world networks often involve complex node relations beyond only being pairwise. While hypergraphs and hierarchical graphs have been developed employed account for the relations, they cannot fully represent these complexities in practice. Additionally, though many Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) proposed representation learning on higher-order graphs, usually evaluated simple graph datasets. Therefore, there is need...
