Post-training dropout based approaches achieve high sparsity and are well established means of deciphering problems relating to computational cost and overfitting in Neural Network architectures. Contrastingly, pruning at initialization is…

Recent works on sparse neural network training (sparse training) have shown that a compelling trade-off between performance and efficiency can be achieved by training intrinsically sparse neural networks from scratch. Existing sparse…

Pruning large neural networks while maintaining their performance is often desirable due to the reduced space and time complexity. In existing methods, pruning is done within an iterative optimization procedure with either heuristically…

Recent work has shown that renormalisation group theory is a useful framework with which to describe the process of pruning neural networks via iterative magnitude pruning. This report formally describes the link between RG theory and IMP…

We develop an approach to growing deep network architectures over the course of training, driven by a principled combination of accuracy and sparsity objectives. Unlike existing pruning or architecture search techniques that operate on…

Compression of convolutional neural network models has recently been dominated by pruning approaches. A class of previous works focuses solely on pruning the unimportant filters to achieve network compression. Another important direction is…

The learning capability of a neural network improves with increasing depth at higher computational costs. Wider layers with dense kernel connectivity patterns furhter increase this cost and may hinder real-time inference. We propose feature…

The Strong Lottery Ticket Hypothesis (SLTH) stipulates the existence of a subnetwork within a sufficiently overparameterized (dense) neural network that -- when initialized randomly and without any training -- achieves the accuracy of a…

Neural networks are easier to optimise when they have many more weights than are required for modelling the mapping from inputs to outputs. This suggests a two-stage learning procedure that first learns a large net and then prunes away…

Contemporary state-of-the-art neural networks have increasingly large numbers of parameters, which prevents their deployment on devices with limited computational power. Pruning is one technique to remove unnecessary weights and reduce…

Due to data privacy issues, accelerating networks with tiny training sets has become a critical need in practice. Previous methods achieved promising results empirically by filter-level pruning. In this paper, we both study this problem…

Pruning neural networks has regained interest in recent years as a means to compress state-of-the-art deep neural networks and enable their deployment on resource-constrained devices. In this paper, we propose a robust compressive learning…

Even though dense networks have lost importance today, they are still used as final logic elements. It could be shown that these dense networks can be simplified by the sparse graph interpretation. This in turn shows that the information…

Large neural networks are very successful in various tasks. However, with limited data, the generalization capabilities of deep neural networks are also very limited. In this paper, we empirically start showing that intrinsically sparse…

Pruning the weights of neural networks is an effective and widely-used technique for reducing model size and inference complexity. We develop and test a novel method based on compressed sensing which combines the pruning and training into a…

It has been observed in practice that applying pruning-at-initialization methods to neural networks and training the sparsified networks can not only retain the testing performance of the original dense models, but also sometimes even…

The unmatched ability of Deep Neural Networks in capturing complex patterns in large and noisy datasets is often associated with their large hypothesis space, and consequently to the vast amount of parameters that characterize model…

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) for image recognition tasks are seeing rapid advances in the available architectures and how networks are trained based on large computational infrastructure and standard datasets with millions of images.…

Deep Neural Networks have been used in a wide variety of applications with significant success. However, their highly complex nature owing to comprising millions of parameters has lead to problems during deployment in pipelines with low…

Artificial neural networks suffer from catastrophic forgetting when they are sequentially trained on multiple tasks. Many continual learning (CL) strategies are trying to overcome this problem. One of the most effective is the…
