SparsePixels: Efficient Convolution for Sparse Data on FPGAs

arXiv:2512. 06208v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Inference of standard convolutional neural networks (CNNs) on FPGAs often incurs high latency and a long initiation interval due to the deep nested loops required to densely convolve every input pixel regardless of its feature value.

WBMM: Windowed Batch Matrix Multiplication for Efficient Large Receptive Field Convolution

arXiv:2607. 02097v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large kernel depthwise convolutions achieve strong performance but suffer from significant degradation as kernel size grows due to irregular memory access from gather-based computation; while Large Kernel Acceleration (LKA) helps on small feature maps, it becomes counterproductive on large feature maps, even slower than non-accelerated implementations.

Beyond Low-Rank: Low-Rank Sparse Prompting via Spiking Neural Network and Prompt Factorization

Visual Prompting (VP) has emerged as an efficient paradigm for adapting large-scale pre-trained vision models to downstream tasks by incorporating learnable prompts at the input level. However, existing VP methods typically employ dense pixel-level prompts, which often suffer from redundant perturbations, limited generalization and energy inefficiency.
