Official PyTorch implementation of Time-aware Large Kernel (TaLK) Convolutions (ICML 2020)

Last update: Dec 07, 2022

Overview

Time-aware Large Kernel (TaLK) Convolutions (Lioutas et al., 2020)

This repository contains the source code, pre-trained models, as well as instructions to reproduce results for our paper Time-aware Large Kernel Convolutions (ICML 2020).

TaLK Convolutions is a sequence modeling method that uses an adaptive convolution operation that learns to predict the size of a summation kernel instead of using a fixed-sized learnable kernel matrix. It utilizes a fast parallelized implementation of the summed-area table, also known as the integral image operation, to efficiently calculate the convolution output that uses the summation kernel. We generate relative offsets for each timestep of the input sequence, which are used to adaptively expand the size of the summation kernel conditioned on the input. This method yields a time complexity of O(n), effectively making the sequence encoding process linear to the number of tokens.

Efficient CUDA Kernels

In order to support the parallelization of TaLK Convolutions, we have developed our own CUDA primitives. To install the kernels, use the commands below. We tested compiling the kernels using CUDA 10.1 but if a future CUDA release does not work, please feel free to open an issue.

cd talkconv/talkconv_module/
python setup.py install

We are welcoming contributions from experienced CUDA developers regarding making the CUDA kernels more efficient.
