Paper accepted on NeurIPS 2022

Thrilled to hear that our paper on Low-rank lottery tickets has been accepted on NeurIPS 2022! We propose a method to speed up and reduce the memory footprint of the training phase (as well as the inference phase) of fully-connected and convolutional NNs by interpreting the training process as a gradient flow and integrating the corresponding ODE directly on the manifold of low-rank matrices.
It has been a wonderful collaboration among a fantastic team of collaborators, and it would have not been possible without the excellent work of the two PhD students Emanuele Zangrando and Steffen Schotthöfer.
