Private Model Compression via Knowledge Distillation
The soaring demand for intelligent mobile applications calls for deploying
powerful deep neural networks (DNNs) on mobile devices. However, the
outstanding performance of DNNs notoriously relies on increasingly complex
models, which in turn is associated with an increase in computational expense
far surpassing mobile devices' capacity. What is worse, app service providers
need to collect and utilize a large volume of users' data, which contain
sensitive information, to build the sophisticated DNN models. Directly
deploying these models on public mobile devices presents prohibitive privacy
risk. To benefit from the on-device deep learning without the capacity and
privacy concerns, we design a private model compression framework RONA.
Following the knowledge distillation paradigm, we jointly use hint learning,
distillation learning, and self learning to train a compact and fast neural
network. The knowledge distilled from the cumbersome model is adaptively
bounded and carefully perturbed to enforce differential privacy. We further
propose an elegant query sample selection method to reduce the number of
queries and control the privacy loss. A series of empirical evaluations as well
as the implementation on an Android mobile device show that RONA can not only
compress cumbersome models efficiently but also provide a strong privacy
guarantee. For example, on SVHN, when a meaningful
-differential privacy is guaranteed, the compact model trained
by RONA can obtain 20 compression ratio and 19 speed-up with
merely 0.97% accuracy loss.Comment: Conference version accepted by AAAI'1
Data-driven Soft Sensors in the Process Industry
In the last two decades Soft Sensors established themselves as a valuable alternative to the traditional means for the acquisition of critical process variables, process monitoring and other tasks which are related to process control. This paper discusses characteristics of the process industry data which are critical for the development of data-driven Soft Sensors. These characteristics are common to a large number of process industry fields, like the chemical industry, bioprocess industry, steel industry, etc. The focus of this work is put on the data-driven Soft Sensors because of their growing popularity, already demonstrated usefulness and huge, though yet not completely realised, potential. A comprehensive selection of case studies covering the three most important Soft Sensor application fields, a general introduction to the most popular Soft Sensor modelling techniques as well as a discussion of some open issues in the Soft Sensor development and maintenance and their possible solutions are the main contributions of this work
Combining Experience Replay with Exploration by Random Network Distillation
Our work is a simple extension of the paper "Exploration by Random Network
Distillation". More in detail, we show how to efficiently combine Intrinsic
Rewards with Experience Replay in order to achieve more efficient and robust
exploration (with respect to PPO/RND) and consequently better results in terms
of agent performances and sample efficiency. We are able to do it by using a
new technique named Prioritized Oversampled Experience Replay (POER), that has
been built upon the definition of what is the important experience useful to
replay. Finally, we evaluate our technique on the famous Atari game Montezuma's
Revenge and some other hard exploration Atari games.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, accepted as full-paper at IEEE Conference on
