Recently there has been a lot of work on pruning filters from deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with the intention of reducing computations.The key idea is to rank the filters based on a certain criterion (say, l1-norm) and retain…

We propose ResRep, a novel method for lossless channel pruning (a.k.a. filter pruning), which slims down a CNN by reducing the width (number of output channels) of convolutional layers. Inspired by the neurobiology research about the…

Scaling CNN training is necessary to keep up with growing datasets and reduce training time. We also see an emerging need to handle datasets with very large samples, where memory requirements for training are large. Existing training…

Convolutional neural networks have been achieving the best possible accuracies in many visual pattern classification problems. However, due to the model capacity required to capture such representations, they are often oversensitive to…

Owing to flexible architectures of deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs), CNNs are successfully used for image denoising. However, they suffer from the following drawbacks: (i) deep network architecture is very difficult to train. (ii)…

Network pruning in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) has been extensively investigated in recent years. To determine the impact of pruning a group of filters on a network's accuracy, state-of-the-art pruning methods consistently assume…

The $\ell_1$ norm is the tight convex relaxation for the $\ell_0$ "norm" and has been successfully applied for recovering sparse signals. For problems with fewer samplings, one needs to enhance the sparsity by nonconvex penalties such as…
