Many applications in Bayesian statistics are extremely computationally intensive. However, they are often inherently parallel, making them prime targets for modern massively parallel processors. Multi-core and distributed computing is widely applied in the Bayesian community, however, very little attention has been giv…

Improves matrix multiplication throughput for asymmetric bit-width operands.
problem Matrix multiplications between asymmetric bit-width operands, especially 8- and 4-bit, are not efficiently handled by existing SIMD instructions.
method Proposes a new SIMD matrix multiplication instruction that uses mixed precision on inputs (8- and 4-bit) and accumulates into 16-bit output, improving throughput.
result Offers 2x improvement in throughput compared to existing symmetric-operand-size instructions, with negligible overflow.
Generalised matrix-matrix multiplication forms the kernel of many mathematical algorithms. A faster matrix-matrix multiply immediately benefits these algorithms. In this paper we implement efficient matrix multiplication for large matrices using the floating point Intel Pentium SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) a…

result Cryptotree achieves better prediction results on encrypted data than regular RF.
In this work, we discuss the Automatic Adjoint Differentiation (AAD) for functions of the form , which often appear in the calibration of stochastic models. { We demonstrate that it allows a perfect SIMD\footnote{Single Input Multiple Data} parallelization and provide its relative co…

method Fixed neural networks (Q-NETs) that operate on proxy function parameters to calculate exact integrals over subsets of dimensions.
result Q-NETs can calculate integrals over any subset of dimensions without resampling or retraining the proxy.
Our community has greatly improved the efficiency of deep learning applications, including by exploiting sparsity in inputs. Most of that work, though, is for inference, where weight sparsity is known statically, and/or for specialized hardware. We propose a scheme to leverage dynamic sparsity during training. In parti…
We introduce an online tensor decomposition based approach for two latent variable modeling problems namely, (1) community detection, in which we learn the latent communities that the social actors in social networks belong to, and (2) topic modeling, in which we infer hidden topics of text articles. We consider decomp…
Gibbs sampling is a workhorse for Bayesian inference but has several limitations when used for parameter estimation, and is often much slower than non-sampling inference methods. SAME (State Augmentation for Marginal Estimation) \cite{Doucet99,Doucet02} is an approach to MAP parameter estimation which gives improved pa…
We present an overview of techniques for quantizing convolutional neural networks for inference with integer weights and activations. Per-channel quantization of weights and per-layer quantization of activations to 8-bits of precision post-training produces classification accuracies within 2% of floating point networks…
