SLIDE: Smart Algorithms over Hardware Acceleration for Large-Scale Deep Learning with Beidi Chen - #356

By Sam Charrington

Beidi Chen is part of the team that developed a cheaper, algorithmic, CPU alternative to state-of-the-art GPU machines. They presented their findings at NeurIPS 2019 and have since gained a lot of attention for their paper, SLIDE: In Defense of Smart Algorithms Over Hardware Acceleration for Large-Scale Deep Learning Systems. Beidi shares how the team took a new look at deep learning with the case of extreme classification by turning it into a search problem and using locality-sensitive hashing.
