Structured pruning is an effective approach for compressing large pre-trained neural networks without significantly affecting their performance. However, most current structured pruning methods do not provide any performance guarantees, and…

Deep Neural Networks are highly over-parameterized and the size of the neural networks can be reduced significantly after training without any decrease in performance. One can clearly see this phenomenon in a wide range of architectures…

Most neural network pruning methods, such as filter-level and layer-level prunings, prune the network model along one dimension (depth, width, or resolution) solely to meet a computational budget. However, such a pruning policy often leads…

Network pruning is a commonly used measure to alleviate the storage and computational burden of deep neural networks. However, the fundamental limit of network pruning is still lacking. To close the gap, in this work we'll take a…

A well-trained Convolutional Neural Network can easily be pruned without significant loss of performance. This is because of unnecessary overlap in the features captured by the network's filters. Innovations in network architecture such as…

Pruning seeks to design lightweight architectures by removing redundant weights in overparameterized networks. Most of the existing techniques first remove structured sub-networks (filters, channels,...) and then fine-tune the resulting…

Neural networks are commonly trained in highly overparameterized regimes, yet empirical evidence consistently shows that many parameters become redundant during learning. Most existing pruning approaches impose sparsity through explicit…

The current landscape in time-series forecasting is dominated by Transformer-based models. Their high parameter count and corresponding demand in computational resources pose a challenge to real-world deployment, especially for commercial…

Channel pruning, which seeks to reduce the model size by removing redundant channels, is a popular solution for deep networks compression. Existing channel pruning methods usually conduct layer-wise channel selection by directly minimizing…

Verification of deep neural networks has witnessed a recent surge of interest, fueled by success stories in diverse domains and by abreast concerns about safety and security in envisaged applications. Complexity and sheer size of such…

Over the last century, deep learning models have become the state-of-the-art for solving complex computer vision problems. These modern computer vision models have millions of parameters, which presents two major challenges: (1) the…

Deep neural networks have achieved impressive performance in many applications but their large number of parameters lead to significant computational and storage overheads. Several recent works attempt to mitigate these overheads by…

Neural networks have achieved remarkable performance in various application domains. Nevertheless, a large number of weights in pre-trained deep neural networks prohibit them from being deployed on smartphones and embedded systems. It is…

Structured pruning is a popular method to reduce the cost of convolutional neural networks, that are the state of the art in many computer vision tasks. However, depending on the architecture, pruning introduces dimensional discrepancies…

Current deep neural networks (DNNs) are overparameterized and use most of their neuronal connections during inference for each task. The human brain, however, developed specialized regions for different tasks and performs inference with a…

Neural network pruning with suitable retraining can yield networks with considerably fewer parameters than the original with comparable degrees of accuracy. Typical pruning methods require large, fully trained networks as a starting point…

Channel pruning is a promising technique to compress the parameters of deep convolutional neural networks(DCNN) and to speed up the inference. This paper aims to address the long-standing inefficiency of channel pruning. Most channel…

With the general trend of increasing Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model sizes, model compression and acceleration techniques have become critical for the deployment of these models on edge devices. In this paper, we provide a…

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, $l_1$-norm, average…

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…
