As the saying goes, sometimes less is more -- and when it comes to neural networks, that couldn't be more true. Enter pruning, the art of selectively trimming away unnecessary parts of a network to create a more streamlined, efficient…

State-of-the-art neural networks are getting deeper and wider. While their performance increases with the increasing number of layers and neurons, it is crucial to design an efficient deep architecture in order to reduce computational and…

Neural Networks (NN), although successfully applied to several Artificial Intelligence tasks, are often unnecessarily over-parametrised. In edge/fog computing, this might make their training prohibitive on resource-constrained devices,…

Neural networks performance has been significantly improved in the last few years, at the cost of an increasing number of floating point operations per second (FLOPs). However, more FLOPs can be an issue when computational resources are…

Recent years have witnessed a substantial increase in the deep learning (DL)architectures proposed for visual recognition tasks like person re-identification,where individuals must be recognized over multiple distributed cameras.…

Recent works imply that the channel pruning can be regarded as searching optimal sub-structure from unpruned networks. However, existing works based on this observation require training and evaluating a large number of structures, which…

Neural network pruning reduces the computational cost of an over-parameterized network to improve its efficiency. Popular methods vary from $\ell_1$-norm sparsification to Neural Architecture Search (NAS). In this work, we propose a novel…

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…

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…

We introduce and analyze a new technique for model reduction for deep neural networks. While large networks are theoretically capable of learning arbitrarily complex models, overfitting and model redundancy negatively affects the prediction…

In the era of exceptionally data-hungry models, careful selection of the training data is essential to mitigate the extensive costs of deep learning. Data pruning offers a solution by removing redundant or uninformative samples from the…

Modern deep neural networks (DNNs) consist of millions of parameters, necessitating high-performance computing during training and inference. Pruning is one solution that significantly reduces the space and time complexities of DNNs.…

This paper presents a survey of methods for pruning deep neural networks. It begins by categorising over 150 studies based on the underlying approach used and then focuses on three categories: methods that use magnitude based pruning,…

Existing high-performance deep learning models require very intensive computing. For this reason, it is difficult to embed a deep learning model into a system with limited resources. In this paper, we propose the novel idea of the network…

Pruning is a widely used technique for reducing the size of deep neural networks while maintaining their performance. However, such a technique, despite being able to massively compress deep models, is hardly able to remove entire layers…
