Large-scale training of deep neural networks
No full textAccelerating and scaling the training of deep neural networks (DNNs) is critical to keep up with growing datasets, reduce training times, and enable training on memory-constrained problems where parallelism is necessary. In this thesis, I present a set of techniques that can leverage large high-performance computing systems for fast training of DNNs. I first introduce a suite of algorithms to exploit additional parallelism in convolutional layers when training, expanding beyond the standard sample-wise data-parallel approach to include spatial parallelism and channel and filter parallelism. Next, I present optimizations to communication frameworks to reduce communication overheads at large scales. Finally, I discuss communication quantization, which can directly reduce communication volumes. In concert, these methods allow rapid training and enable training on problems that were previously infeasible.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2021-08-01The student, Nikoli Dryden, accepted the attached license on 2019-07-09 at 14:44.The student, Nikoli Dryden, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2019-07-09 at 14:44.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2019-07-09 at 15:16.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #14222 on 2019-11-26 at 14:01:58Made available in DSpace on 2019-11-26T20:59:36Z (GMT).

JOHN DRYDEN, RESTORATION, AND NEOCLASSICISM: SAMPLES OF PRESCRIPTIVE CRITICISM IN ENGLISH LITERATURE
No full textEdebi eleştiri, amacı belli çalışmaları analiz etmek olmakla beraber, edebi metni değerlendirme ve anlama entelektüel yetisi anlamına da gelir; fakat birçok eleştirmen 20. Yüzyıldan önce bunu başarmış olmasına ragmen, İngiliz geçmişinde eleştiri, eleştirel eylemin doğasına yabancı bazı nedenlerle başlamıştır. Örneğin, Sydney savunur, Dryden öngörür, Pope düşünür ve öngörür, Fielding yeni bir tür ve Wordworth yeni bir şiir çeşidi tanıtır vb. Neoklasik dönemde İngiliz eleştirisi karmaşık ve çok sesli bir olguydu ve normatif bir eleştirel söylem geliştiren yazar vey azar-eleştirmenler tarafından temsil ediliyordu. John Dryden ve “Of Dramatic Poesi” denemesi Restorasyon dönemi İngiliz eleştirisinin durumunu daha iyi gösterecekti. 18. Yüzyılın ilk yarısına Alexander Pope’un “An Essay on Criticism and An Essay on Man”inde ifade edilen neoklasik fikirler yön vermişti. Ikinci yarısı, Dr. Samuel Johnson’ın karakteri ve Influential Lives of the Poets and Dictionary of the English Language adlı ederi tarafından yönlendirilmişti. İngiliz Edebiyatında neoklasik döneme ait en öngörülü eleştirel ses, John Dryden’ınkiydi ve Alexander Pope da ona eşlik ediyordu. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Dryden ve Pope’un eleştirel söylemleri bağlamında, öngörü ve eleştirinin özünü, edebiyatı açıklayarak ona yön vermesi olarak ortaya çıkarmaktır.Literary criticism implies the intellectual capacity to evaluate and understand the literary text, the analysis of particular works being the main aim of literary criticism, but, though achieved by most of the critics prior to the twentieth century, in English background criticism has started with some purposes which are alien to the nature of critical act. For instance, Sydney defends, Dryden prescribes, Pope reflects and prescribes, Fielding introduces a new genre and Wordsworth a new type of poetry, etc. English criticism during the neoclassical period was a complex and multi-voiced phenomenon, represented by a large number of critics and writer-critics who developed a reflexive but above all normative and prescriptive critical discourse. John Dryden and his Of Dramatic Poesie, An Essay would better show the condition of English criticism in Restoration. The first half of the eighteenth century was dominated by the neoclassical ideas expressed by Alexander Pope in An Essay on Criticism and An Essay on Man; the second half of the century was governed by the personality of Dr Samuel Johnson and his influential Lives of the Poets and Dictionary of the English Language. The most prescriptive critical voice in English literature belonging to the neoclassical period is that of John Dryden, as to be equalled perhaps only by Alexander Pope. To reveal the essence of prescriptive criticism as explaining and giving rules as well as showing the direction for literary production with regards to the critical discourse of Dryden and that of Pope represents the purpose of this study

The Author of the Alexander Romance
No full textThis paper, which is based on a portion of the introduction of the author’s edition of Il Romanzo di Alessandro (Mondadori: Fondazione Valla 2007), surveys the generic components of the Alexander Romance in an attempt to arrive at a definition of the work. The argument builds on Merkelbach’s categorisation of elements and uses Fusillo’s insight into the novel as an ‘encyclopaedic genre’ to propose that ‘historical novel’ is not, as Hägg contended, a misnomer for the work. The main components I discuss are: ‘life’; praxeis; chreiai; Cynic elements, including choliambic poetry and utopian perspectives; and the Egyptian aspects of the narrative. A concluding jeu d’esprit offers a characterisation of the putative author, his antecedents and his process of composition.Richard Stoneman was for 25 years editor for classics at Croom Helm and then Routledge. In 1997 he was appointed an Honorary Fellow in the department of classics, University of Exeter. After retiring from publishing in 2006 he has been pursuing his researches on the Alexander legends and teaching a course on the subject at Exeter. His Penguin translation of the Alexander Romance was published in 1991, and a volume of translated Legends of Alexander the Great appeared from Everyman in 1994. Also in 1994 he co-edited Greek Fiction with John Morgan. His edition of the Greek recensions of the Alexander Romance was published (volume I) by the Fondazione Valla in 2007 – volumes II and III will follow over the next few years – and his Alexander the Great: A Life in Legend appeared from Yale University Press in spring 2008. He is the author of a number of other books on Greek history and travel, and is writing a book on oracles

The Pleiadic Age of Stuart Poesie: Restoration Uranography, Dryden\u27s Judicial Astrology, and the Fate of Anne Killigrew
No full textThe following Thesis is a survey of seventeenth-century uranography, with specific focus on the use of the Pleiades and Charles\u27s Wain by English poets and pageant writers as astrological ciphers for the Stuart dynasty (1603-1649; 1660-1688). I then use that survey to address the problem of irony in John Dryden\u27s 1685 Pindaric elegy, To the Pious Memory of Mrs. Anne Killigrew, since the longstanding notion of what the Pleiades signify in Dryden\u27s ode is problematic from an astronomical and astrological perspective. In his elegiac ode, Dryden translates a young female artist to the Pleiades to actuate her apotheosis, not for the sake of mere fulsome hypberbole, but in such a way that Anne (b. 1660-d. 1685) signifies for the reign of Charles II (1660-1685) in her Pleiadic catasterism. The political underpinnings of Killigrew\u27s apotheosis reduce the probability that Dryden\u27s hyperbole reserves pejorative ironic potential
