Query: BatchEnsemble: An Alternative Approach to Efficient Ensemble and
  Lifelong Learning   Ensembles, where multiple neural networks are trained individually and their
predictions are averaged, have been shown to be widely successful for improving
both the accuracy and predictive uncertainty of single neural networks.
However, an ensemble's cost for both training and testing increases linearly
with the number of networks, which quickly becomes untenable.
  In this paper, we propose BatchEnsemble, an ensemble method whose
computational and memory costs are significantly lower than typical ensembles.
BatchEnsemble achieves this by defining each weight matrix to be the Hadamard
product of a shared weight among all ensemble members and a rank-one matrix per
member. Unlike ensembles, BatchEnsemble is not only parallelizable across
devices, where one device trains one member, but also parallelizable within a
device, where multiple ensemble members are updated simultaneously for a given
mini-batch. Across CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, WMT14 EN-DE/EN-FR translation, and
out-of-distribution tasks, BatchEnsemble yields competitive accuracy and
uncertainties as typical ensembles; the speedup at test time is 3X and memory
reduction is 3X at an ensemble of size 4. We also apply BatchEnsemble to
lifelong learning, where on Split-CIFAR-100, BatchEnsemble yields comparable
performance to progressive neural networks while having a much lower
computational and memory costs. We further show that BatchEnsemble can easily
scale up to lifelong learning on Split-ImageNet which involves 100 sequential
learning tasks.
