The goal of filter pruning is to search for unimportant filters to remove in order to make convolutional neural networks (CNNs) efficient without sacrificing the performance in the process. The challenge lies in finding information that can…

Large neural networks are heavily over-parameterized. This is done because it improves training to optimality. However once the network is trained, this means many parameters can be zeroed, or pruned, leaving an equivalent sparse neural…

A typical deep neural network (DNN) has a large number of trainable parameters. Choosing a network with proper capacity is challenging and generally a larger network with excessive capacity is trained. Pruning is an established approach to…

Pruning is a legitimate method for reducing the size of a neural network to fit in low SWaP hardware, but the networks must be trained and pruned offline. We propose an algorithm, Artificial Neurogenesis (ANG), that grows rather than prunes…

The most common method for DNN pruning is hard thresholding of network weights, followed by retraining to recover any lost accuracy. Recently developed smart pruning algorithms use the DNN response over the training set for a variety of…
