学习率对深度学习训练性能有显著影响。通常需多次尝试不同学习率策略以寻找最优配置,这一过程耗时且资源消耗大。实践中往往只保留最佳学习率对应的模型,浪费了其他训练结果。本文提出LREnsemble框架,通过学习率调优生成多样化深度神经网络作为基模型,并利用集成选择算法从中挑选高质量组合,实现性能提升。实验表明,该方法在多个基准数据集上可使准确率比优化后的基线最高提升2.34%,有效释放多轮训练潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The Learning Rate (LR) has a high impact on deep learning training performance. A common practice is to train a Deep Neural Network (DNN) multiple times with different LR policies to find the optimal LR policy, which has been widely recognized as a daunting and costly task. Moreover, multiple times of DNN training has not been effectively utilized. In practice, often only the optimal LR is adopted, which misses the opportunities to further enhance the overall accuracy of the deep learning system and results in a huge waste of both computing resources and training time. This paper presents a novel framework, LREnsemble, to effectively leverage effective learning rate tuning to boost deep ensemble performance. We make three original contributions. First, we show that the LR tuning with different LR policies can produce highly diverse DNNs, which can be supplied as base models for deep ensembles. Second, we leverage different ensemble selection algorithms to identify high-quality deep ensembles from the large pool of base models with significant accuracy improvements over the best single base model. Third, we propose LREnsemble, a framework that utilizes the synergy of LR tuning and deep ensemble techniques to enhance deep learning performance. The experiments on multiple benchmark datasets have demonstrated the effectiveness of LREnsemble, generating up to 2.34% accuracy improvements over well-optimized baselines.
