Layer-adaptive sparsity for the Magnitude-based Pruning
Jaeho Lee, Sejun Park, Sangwoo Mo, Sungsoo Ahn, Jinwoo Shin
arXiv (Cornell University)OA

Recent discoveries on neural network pruning reveal that, with a carefully chosen layerwise sparsity, a simple magnitude-based pruning achieves state-of-the-art tradeoff between sparsity and performance. However, without a clear consensus on "how to choose," the layerwise sparsities are mostly selected algorithm-by-algorithm, often resorting to handcrafted heuristics or an extensive hyperparameter search. To fill this gap, we propose a novel importance score for global pruning, coined layer-adap

A linearized power method for adaptive beamforming in a multipath fading CDMA environment
Sungsoo Ahn, Seungwon Choi, Tapan K. Sarkar
SJR Q3Microwave and Optical Technology Letters

Abstract This paper discusses an adaptive procedure of a simplified power method for computing the eigenvector corresponding to the largest eigenvalue of an autocovariance matrix. The objective is to generate a suboptimal weight vector for an adaptive array operating in a multipath fading CDMA (code‐division multiple access) channel. The total computational load of the proposed procedure is about O (4 N ), including an autocovariance matrix update, where N is the number of weights. The performan

Sythesis of MCMC and Belief Propagation
Sungsoo Ahn, Michael Chertkov, Jinwoo Shin
OA

Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and Belief Propagation (BP) are the most popular algorithms for computational inference in Graphical Models (GM). In principle, MCMC is an exact probabilistic method which, however, often suffers from exponentially slow mixing. In contrast, BP is a deterministic method, which is typically fast, empirically very successful, however in general lacking control of accuracy over loopy graphs. In this paper, we introduce MCMC algorithms correcting the approximation erro

A Graphical Transformation for Belief Propagation: Maximum Weight Matchings and Odd-Sized Cycles
Sungsoo Ahn, Michael Chertkov, Andrew E. Gelfand, Sejun Park, Jinwoo Shin
arXiv (Cornell University)OA

We study the Maximum Weight Matching (MWM) problem for general graphs through the max-product Belief Propagation (BP) and related Linear Programming (LP). The BP approach provides distributed heuristics for finding the Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) assignment in a joint probability distribution represented by a Graphical Model (GM) and respective LPs can be considered as continuous relaxations of the discrete MAP problem. It was recently shown that a BP algorithm converges to the correct MWM assign

Learning What to Defer for Maximum Independent Sets
Sungsoo Ahn, Younggyo Seo, Jinwoo Shin
ArXiv.orgOA

Designing efficient algorithms for combinatorial optimization appears ubiquitously in various scientific fields. Recently, deep reinforcement learning (DRL) frameworks have gained considerable attention as a new approach: they can automate the design of a solver while relying less on sophisticated domain knowledge of the target problem. However, the existing DRL solvers determine the solution using a number of stages proportional to the number of elements in the solution, which severely limits t

Gauged Mini-Bucket Elimination for Approximate Inference
Sungsoo Ahn, Michael Chertkov, Jinwoo Shin, Adrian Weller
Cambridge University Engineering Department Publications Database

Computing the partition function $Z$ of a discrete graphical model is a fundamental inference challenge. Since this is computationally intractable, variational approximations are often used in practice. Recently, so-called gauge transformations were used to improve variational lower bounds on $Z$. In this paper, we propose a new gauge-variational approach, termed WMBE-G, which combines gauge transformations with the weighted mini-bucket elimination (WMBE) method. WMBE-G can provide both upper an

We study the maximum weight matching (MWM) problem for general graphs through the max-product belief propagation (BP) and related Linear Programming (LP). The BP approach provides distributed heuristics for finding the maximum a posteriori (MAP) assignment in a joint probability distribution represented by a graphical model (GM), and respective LPs can be considered as continuous relaxations of the discrete MAP problem. It was recently shown that a BP algorithm converges to the correct MAP/MWM a

Minimum Weight Perfect Matching via Blossom Belief Propagation
Sungsoo Ahn, Sejun Park, Michael Chertkov, Jinwoo Shin
arXiv (Cornell University)OA

Max-product Belief Propagation (BP) is a popular message-passing algorithm for computing a Maximum-A-Posteriori (MAP) assignment over a distribution represented by a Graphical Model (GM). It has been shown that BP can solve a number of combinatorial optimization problems including minimum weight matching, shortest path, network flow and vertex cover under the following common assumption: the respective Linear Programming (LP) relaxation is tight, i.e., no integrality gap is present. However, whe

A novel on-off algorithm for smart antenna system operating in IMT2000 mobile communications
Zhengzi Li, Sungsoo Ahn, Seungwon Choi

This paper proposes a new blind adaptive algorithm for computing the weight vector of an antenna array system that provides the beam pattern having its maximum gain along the direction of the mobile target signal source in the presence of strong interference. The proposed algorithm provides a suboptimal weight vector maximizing the SINR (signal to interference plus noise ratio) with a linear computational load. Based on the analysis obtained from various simulations, it is observed that the prop
