Scaling Neural Network Verification with Tensor Parallelism and Fully Sharded Data Parallelism

arXiv:2606. 09377v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Formal neural network verification -- proving that a network satisfies safety properties for \emph{all} inputs in a specified domain -- is bounded in practice by GPU memory: standard implementations of bound-propagation algorithms (IBP, CROWN, $\alpha$-CROWN) require weight and relaxation-coefficient matrices to reside entirely on one accelerator.

Scaling Neural Network Verification with Tensor Parallelism and Fully Sharded Data Parallelism

Formal neural network verification -- proving that a network satisfies safety properties for \emph{all} inputs in a specified domain -- is bounded in practice by GPU memory: standard implementations of bound-propagation algorithms (IBP, CROWN, $α$-CROWN) require weight and relaxation-coefficient matrices to reside entirely on one accelerator. We adapt two parallelism techniques originally developed for large-scale model training to the \texttt{auto\_LiRPA}\,/\,$α,β$-CROWN verification framework.

Federated Lightweight Fine-Tuning

arXiv:2607. 18343v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Federated fine-tuning is bottlenecked by communication: FedAvg and pseudo-gradient schemes transmit a payload that scales with the model, and gradient compression shrinks it by only a constant factor.

BluTrain: A C++/CUDA Framework for AI Systems

arXiv:2606. 24780v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Progress in deep learning is, at scale, more a matter of systems engineering than of modelling: the behaviour of a model in training (its throughput, its memory footprint, and the numerical fidelity of the result) is determined less by the architecture itself than by how that architecture is expressed on the hardware.
