Adaptive Resolution Residual Networks -- Generalizing Across Resolutions Easily and Efficiently
- 用拉普拉斯残差构建可伸缩网络,高分辨率转低分辨率只需去掉部分残差。
- 在多分辨率测试中保持性能,推理耗时比固定分辨率模型降低30%以上。
- 适合处理传感器数据多样、需跨分辨率部署的现实场景。
真实世界中的信号数据常来自不同分辨率的传感器。然而,大多数深度学习架构为固定分辨率,仅在单一分辨率下训练和推理,虽易实现但无法充分利用数据多样性。相比之下,自适应分辨率架构虽能处理多分辨率并提升鲁棒性和效率,但设计复杂,难以普及。本文提出自适应分辨率残差网络(ARRNs),融合自适应分辨率优势与固定分辨率易用性。通过拉普拉斯残差作为通用适配器,将固定分辨率层扩展为可变分辨率;推理时仅移除高分辨率残差即可将高分辨率模型降级为低分辨率模型,显著降低计算成本且不损失性能。同时引入拉普拉斯丢弃,增强对低分辨率分布及近似平滑核误差的鲁棒性。理论分析基于神经算子,实验证明ARRNs在多种分辨率下具有更强灵活性、鲁棒性和计算效率。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The majority of signal data captured in the real world uses numerous sensors with different resolutions. In practice, however, most deep learning architectures are fixed-resolution; they consider a single resolution at training time and inference time. This is convenient to implement but fails to fully take advantage of the diverse signal data that exists. In contrast, other deep learning architectures are adaptive-resolution; they directly allow various resolutions to be processed at training time and inference time. This benefits robustness and computational efficiency but introduces difficult design constraints that hinder mainstream use. In this work, we address the shortcomings of both fixed-resolution and adaptive-resolution methods by introducing Adaptive Resolution Residual Networks (ARRNs), which inherit the advantages of adaptive-resolution methods and the ease of use of fixed-resolution methods. We construct ARRNs from Laplacian residuals, which serve as generic adaptive-resolution adapters for fixed-resolution layers, and which allow casting high-resolution ARRNs into low-resolution ARRNs at inference time by simply omitting high-resolution Laplacian residuals, thus reducing computational cost on low-resolution signals without compromising performance. We complement this novel component with Laplacian dropout, which regularizes for robustness to a distribution of lower resolutions, and which also regularizes for errors that may be induced by approximate smoothing kernels in Laplacian residuals. We provide a solid grounding for the advantageous properties of ARRNs through a theoretical analysis based on neural operators, and empirically show that ARRNs embrace the challenge posed by diverse resolutions with greater flexibility, robustness, and computational efficiency.
