Modern AI has reached remarkable capabilities, particularly in natural language processing and generative AI, powered by artificial neural networks. Yet state-of-the-art large language models now face serious compute, memory, and energy bottlenecks. Cooling the data centres that run them can even worsen water scarcity in some regions. This rapid scaling drives up both training and inference costs and limits access, especially in resource-constrained settings and at very large scale.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In earlier research, Prof. Decebal Mocanu and his coauthors introduced the concept of training sparse neural networks from scratch as an alternative to dense training, improving both efficiency and generalisation. This approach, now known as sparse training, has two main forms: static sparse training and dynamic sparse training, with the latter often achieving better generalisation than dense training. The theory and algorithms behind sparse training are now well supported in the literature. However, most studies have struggled to demonstrate practical gains in wall-clock time, memory, and energy efficiency, because sparsity is often simulated with binary masks, effectively relying on dense implementations. This reflects the current software and hardware stacks, which remain optimised for dense neural networks and dense training. In the relatively few cases where <em>truly sparse<\/em> dynamic sparse training implementations exist, most have come from Prof. Mocanu\u2019s team and collaborators. Until now, these efforts have focused on simple models running on CPUs (Central Processing Units). Extending those ideas to current state-of-the-art models and to GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) remains a formidable challenge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-quote-people\">\n    <div class=\"quote-people\" role=\"group\">\n        <figure class=\"quote-people__body\">\n            <blockquote class=\"quote-people__blockquote\">\n    <span class=\"quote-people__quote\">\u201f<\/span>\n    I am so happy, humbled, and honoured that, with Google.org\u2019s support, my team and I can pursue high-risk\/high-gain fundamental research ideas on machine learning algorithms efficiency.
