• Abstract summary: Federated topic modeling allows multiple parties to jointly train models while protecting data privacy. This paper proposes a method to establish a federated topic model while ensuring the privacy of each node, and use neural network model pruning to accelerate the model. Experimental results show that the federated topic model pruning can greatly accelerate the model training speed while ensuring the model's performance.

• Abstract: Topic modeling has emerged as a valuable tool for discovering patterns and topics within large collections of documents. However, when cross-analysis involves multiple parties, data privacy becomes a critical concern. Federated topic modeling has been developed to address this issue, allowing multiple parties to jointly train models while protecting pri-vacy. However, there are communication and performance challenges in the federated sce-nario. In order to solve the above problems, this paper proposes a method to establish a federated topic model while ensuring the privacy of each node, and use neural network model pruning to accelerate the model, where the client periodically sends the model neu-ron cumulative gradients and model weights to the server, and the server prunes the model. To address different requirements, two different methods are proposed to determine the model pruning rate. The first method involves slow pruning throughout the entire model training process, which has limited acceleration effect on the model training process, but can ensure that the pruned model achieves higher accuracy. This can significantly reduce the model inference time during the inference process. The second strategy is to quickly reach the target pruning rate in the early stage of model training in order to accelerate the model training speed, and then continue to train the model with a smaller model size after reaching the target pruning rate. This approach may lose more useful information but can complete the model training faster. Experimental results show that the federated topic model pruning based on the variational autoencoder proposed in this paper can greatly accelerate the model training speed while ensuring the model's performance.

  We propose modeling changes at the logits level during post-training using a separate neural network (i.e., the value network) After training this network on a small base model using demonstrations, this network can be seamlessly integrated with other pre-trained models during inference. We demonstrate that the resulting value network has broad transferability across pre-trained models of different parameter sizes.

  Training consistency models requires learning to map all intermediate points along PF ODE trajectories to their corresponding endpoints. We empirically find that this training paradigm limits the one-step generation performance of consistency models. We propose a new parameterization of the consistency function and a two-stage training procedure that prevents the truncated-time training from collapsing to a trivial solution.

  We introduce shortcut models, a family of generative models that use a single network and training phase to produce high-quality samples. Shortcut models condition the network on the current noise level and also on the desired step size, allowing the model to skip ahead in the generation process. Compared to distillation, shortcut models reduce complexity to a single network and training phase and additionally allow varying step budgets at inference time.
