Considerable research efforts have recently been made to show that a random neural network $N$ contains subnetworks capable of accurately approximating any given neural network that is sufficiently smaller than $N$, without any training.…

The Lottery Ticket Hypothesis suggests that an over-parametrized network consists of ``lottery tickets'', and training a certain collection of them (i.e., a subnetwork) can match the performance of the full model. In this paper, we study…
