Adaptive Sparsity

Adaptive sparsity focuses on developing methods that automatically adjust the number of active parameters or features in a model during training or operation, aiming for improved efficiency and performance without sacrificing accuracy. Current research emphasizes the application of adaptive sparsity within various model architectures, including transformers, neural networks, and graph generation models, often employing techniques like pruning, low-rank approximations, and automatic relevance determination. This approach is proving valuable across diverse fields, enhancing the efficiency of time series forecasting, portfolio optimization, and anomaly detection in complex systems like IoT networks, while also improving the interpretability and robustness of models.
