We propose a new algorithm called Parle for parallel training of deep networks that converges 2-4x faster than a data-parallel implementation of SGD, while achieving significantly improved error rates that are nearly state-of-the-art on several benchmarks including CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100, without introducing any additional hyper-parameters.

Their energy landscapes is dominated by local minima that cause exponential slow down of classical thermal annealers while simulated quantum annealing converges efficiently to rare dense regions of optimal solutions.

We define a novel measure, which we call the "robust ensemble" (RE), which suppresses trapping by isolated configurations and amplifies the role of these dense regions.

In the case of SGD and cross-entropy loss, we show that a slow reduction of the norm of the weights along the learning process also leads to WFM.

The success of deep learning has revealed the application potential of neural networks across the sciences and opened up fundamental theoretical problems.

We also show that the dense regions are surprisingly accessible by simple learning protocols, and that these synaptic configurations are robust to perturbations and generalize better than typical solutions.
