Consider the recovery of an unknown signal x from quantized linear measurements. In the one-bit compressive sensing setting, one typically assumes that x is sparse, and that the measurements are of the form sign(⟨ai,x⟩)∈{±1}. Since such measurements give no informati…

Social trust prediction addresses the significant problem of exploring interactions among users in social networks. Naturally, this problem can be formulated in the matrix completion framework, with each entry indicating the trustness or distrustness. However, there are two challenges for the social trust problem: 1) t…

Stochastic gradient descent (SGD) is one of the most widely used optimization methods for parallel and distributed processing of large datasets. One of the key limitations of distributed SGD is the need to regularly communicate the gradients between different computation nodes. To reduce this communication bottleneck, …
In this paper, the problem of one-bit compressed sensing (OBCS) is formulated as a problem in probably approximately correct (PAC) learning. It is shown that the Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC-) dimension of the set of half-spaces in Rn generated by k-sparse vectors is bounded below by klg(n/k) and above by…
For fast and energy-efficient deployment of trained deep neural networks on resource-constrained embedded hardware, each learned weight parameter should ideally be represented and stored using a single bit. Error-rates usually increase when this requirement is imposed. Here, we report large improvements in error rates …

The state-of-the-art hardware platforms for training Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are moving from traditional single precision (32-bit) computations towards 16 bits of precision -- in large part due to the high energy efficiency and smaller bit storage associated with using reduced-precision representations.
