Lars Ruthotto - Mixed-Precision Algorithms for Training Neural ODEs - IPAM at UCLA

Recorded 14 July 2025. Lars Ruthotto of Emory University presents "Mixed-Precision Algorithms for Training Neural ODEs" at IPAM's Sampling, Inference, and Data-Driven Physical Modeling in Scientific Machine Learning Workshop.
Abstract: Mixed-precision computation is increasingly vital for scaling deep learning. However, standard strategies that are successful in many settings often break down for continuous-time models like Neural ODEs, leading to instability and accuracy loss. We address this gap by designing and analyzing explicit mixed-precision ODE solvers and a custom backpropagation scheme, tailored for training Neural ODEs in scientific machine learning tasks.
Our approach leverages low-precision arithmetic for neural network evaluations and intermediate state storage, while maintaining solution stability and accuracy via dynamic adjoint scaling and high-precision accumulation. This hybrid strategy substantially reduces both computational cost and memory usage, enabling efficient training of deep continuous-time models even with limited hardware resources.
We demonstrate the potential of our approach for generative modeling tasks based on continuous normalizing flows and conditional transport. Our results show that these techniques enable the training of more complex models on resource-limited hardware.

TubeReader video aggregator is a website that collects and organizes online videos from the YouTube source. Video aggregation is done for different purposes, and TubeReader take different approaches to achieve their purpose.

Our try to collect videos of high quality or interest for visitors to view; the collection may be made by editors or may be based on community votes.

Another method is to base the collection on those videos most viewed, either at the aggregator site or at various popular video hosting sites.

TubeReader site exists to allow users to collect their own sets of videos, for personal use as well as for browsing and viewing by others; TubeReader can develop online communities around video sharing.

Our site allow users to create a personalized video playlist, for personal use as well as for browsing and viewing by others.

What is YouTube?

YouTube is a free video sharing website that makes it easy to watch online videos. You can even create and upload your own videos to share with others. Originally created in 2005, YouTube is now one of the most popular sites on the Web, with visitors watching around 6 billion hours of video every month.
