We revisit the idea of brain damage, i.e. the pruning of the coefficients of a neural network, and suggest how brain damage can be modified and used to speedup convolutional layers. The approach uses the fact that many efficient…

Yes, it can. Data augmentation is perhaps the oldest preprocessing step in computer vision literature. Almost every computer vision model trained on imaging data uses some form of augmentation. In this paper, we use the inter-vertebral disk…
