Uncovering a Winning Lottery Ticket with Continuously Relaxed Bernoulli Gates
This groundbreaking research introduces Continuously Relaxed Bernoulli Gates (CRBG) to revolutionize the discovery of Strong Lottery Tickets (SLTs) in neural networks. By enabling fully differentiable, end-to-end optimization of sparsity, CRBG achieves unprecedented levels of model compression across diverse architectures, including FCNs, CNNs, and Transformers, without compromising accuracy or requiring weight retraining.

The concept of Strong Lottery Tickets (SLTs) proposes that randomly initialized, over-parameterized neural networks contain sparse subnetworks capable of achieving competitive accuracy without any weight training. This is distinct from 'weak' lottery tickets, which require further training. SLTs offer a path to significantly reduce model size and computational demands for resource-constrained deployment.
Our proposed method leverages Continuously Relaxed Bernoulli Gates (CRBG) to identify SLTs. Unlike non-differentiable score-based selection in methods like Edge-Popup, CRBG enables fully differentiable, end-to-end optimization of gating parameters while network weights remain frozen. This allows for direct gradient-based optimization, achieving exact zeros for sparsity without post-hoc thresholding.
Experiments demonstrate CRBG's effectiveness across FCNs (LeNet), CNNs (ResNet, Wide-ResNet), and Vision Transformers (ViT, Swin-T). We achieve up to 90%+ sparsity with minimal accuracy loss, nearly doubling the sparsity of Edge-Popup at comparable accuracy levels. This establishes a scalable framework for pre-training network sparsification.
