01 Nov 2018TL;DR: Transfer learning using sentence-level embeddings is shown to outperform models without transfer learning and often those that use only word-level transfer.
Abstract: We present easy-to-use TensorFlow Hub sentence embedding models having good task transfer performance. Model variants allow for trade-offs between accuracy and compute resources. We report the relationship between model complexity, resources, and transfer performance. Comparisons are made with baselines without transfer learning and to baselines that incorporate word-level transfer. Transfer learning using sentence-level embeddings is shown to outperform models without transfer learning and often those that use only word-level transfer. We show good transfer task performance with minimal training data and obtain encouraging results on word embedding association tests (WEAT) of model bias.

TL;DR: This precision model replaces double precision arithmetic with fixed point integer arithmetic for the accumulation of force components as compared to a previously introduced model that uses mixed single/double precision arithmetic, which significantly boosts performance on modern GPU hardware without sacrificing numerical accuracy.

02 Nov 1997TL;DR: In this paper, a network-computer-based personal contact manager system is disclosed wherein users of networked clients maintain and update a set of user information which is stored in a relational database on a networked server.
Abstract: A network-computer-based personal contact manager system is disclosed wherein users of networked clients maintain and update a set of user information which is stored in a relational database on a networked server. The personal contact manager system allows each user to specify on an individual basis which of their contacts are permitted to access respective datums of their user information. In some cases, and assuming permission is granted, the system will issue notifications (e.g., by e-mail) to a user's contacts when the user changes his information or when a preset event, such as a birthday, as defined by the user, is to occur. The system also allows users to find contacts based on common group affiliations and notifies users when there are coincidences in their data (e.g., travel plans, astrological compatibility). The personal contact manager system supports the retrieval of information on the contacts of contacts, assuming such as permission has been granted by the contacts and their contacts, and can also be used to synchronize the server database with a PIM database of the user and any contacts of the user whoe have the appropriate permissions.

TL;DR: The authors deployed the reconfigurable fabric in a bed of 1,632 servers and FPGAs in a production datacenter and successfully used it to accelerate the ranking portion of the Bing Web search engine by nearly a factor of two.
Abstract: Datacenter workloads demand high computational capabilities, flexibility, power efficiency, and low cost It is challenging to improve all of these factors simultaneously To advance datacenter capabilities beyond what commodity server designs can provide, we designed and built a composable, reconfigurable hardware fabric based on field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) Each server in the fabric contains one FPGA, and all FPGAs within a 48-server rack are interconnected over a low-latency, high-bandwidth networkWe describe a medium-scale deployment of this fabric on a bed of 1632 servers, and measure its effectiveness in accelerating the ranking component of the Bing web search engine We describe the requirements and architecture of the system, detail the critical engineering challenges and solutions needed to make the system robust in the presence of failures, and measure the performance, power, and resilience of the system Under high load, the large-scale reconfigurable fabric improves the ranking throughput of each server by 95% at a desirable latency distribution or reduces tail latency by 29% at a fixed throughput In other words, the reconfigurable fabric enables the same throughput using only half the number of servers

TL;DR: A simple and modular Split-Attention block that enables attention across feature-map groups ResNet-style is presented that preserves the overall ResNet structure to be used in downstream tasks straightforwardly without introducing additional computational costs.
Abstract: It is well known that featuremap attention and multi-path representation are important for visual recognition. In this paper, we present a modularized architecture, which applies the channel-wise attention on different network branches to leverage their success in capturing cross-feature interactions and learning diverse representations. Our design results in a simple and unified computation block, which can be parameterized using only a few variables. Our model, named ResNeSt, outperforms EfficientNet in accuracy and latency trade-off on image classification. In addition, ResNeSt has achieved superior transfer learning results on several public benchmarks serving as the backbone, and has been adopted by the winning entries of COCO-LVIS challenge. The source code for complete system and pretrained models are publicly available.
