Updating cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) during arithmetic encoding can be a challenge because the final element of the CDF should remain fixed during the update calculations. If the probabilities were floating-point numbers, this would not be too much of a challenge; nevertheless, the probabilities and hence the CDFs are represented as integers to take advantage of infinite-precision arithmetic. Some of these difficulties may be alleviated by introducing a “mixing” CDF along with the active CDF being updated; the mixing CDF provides nonlocal context for updating the CDF due to the introduction of a particular symbol in the encoding. Improved techniques of performing arithmetic encoding include updating the CDF using two, one-dimensional mixing CDF arrays: a symbol-dependent array and a symbol-dependent array. The symbol-dependent array is a sub array of a larger, fixed array such that the sub array selected depends on the symbol being used.

According, various embodiments of the present disclosure involve parallel algorithms for 2-BS computation on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). Although the typical 2-BS problems can be summarized into a straightforward parallel computing pattern, traditional wisdom from (general) parallel computing often falls short in delivering the best possible performance. Therefore, various embodiments of the present disclosure involve techniques to decompose 2-BS problems and methods for effective use of computing resources on GPUs. We also develop analytical models that guide users towards the appropriate parameters of a GPU program. Although 2-BS problems share the same core computations, each 2-BS problem however carries its own characteristics that calls for different strategies in code optimization. Accordingly, various embodiments of the present disclosure involve a software framework that automatically generates high-performance GPU code based on a few parameters and short primer code input.

Systems and methods for contextualized and quantized soft prompts for natural language understanding
Embodiments described herein provide a soft prompt tuning technique referred to as the Vector quantized Input-contextualized Prompt (VIP). The VIP techniques has two integral properties i) instead of learning a fixed set of prompt tokens irrespective of the input, it generates a contextualized version of the soft prompts, conditional on the input text ii) it further passes the input-contextualized prompt tokens through a quantization network, inspired by Vector Quantized Transformers. The quantization network uses nearest neighbor search over a learnable codebook to train a discrete latent variable model over the prompt-space, thus generating quantized version of contextual prompt tokens. These quantized contextual prompt tokens are finally fed into the frozen language model along with the original input text.
