MIT researchers have introduced an automated system that enhances the efficiency of deep learning algorithms by simultaneously utilizing both sparsity and symmetry redundancies. Traditional optimization methods often limit developers to one type of redundancy, but this new approach can speed up computations by nearly 30 times and is user-friendly for non-experts. The system enables scientists to specify their computational objectives abstractly, eliminating the need for intricate implementations. This advancement has potential applications in various domains, including medical image processing and scientific computing.
Existing techniques for optimizing algorithms can be cumbersome and typically only allow developers to capitalize on either sparsity or symmetry -- two different types of redundancy that exist in deep learning data structures.
For a long time, capturing these data redundancies has required a lot of implementation effort. Instead, a scientist can tell our system what they would like to compute in a more abstract way, without telling the system exactly how to compute it.
