Depthwise convolution has gradually become an indispensable operation for modern efficient neural networks and larger kernel sizes ($\ge5$) have been applied to it recently. In this paper, we propose a novel extremely separated…

Despite being the cornerstone of deep learning, backpropagation is criticized for its inherent sequentiality, which can limit the scalability of very deep models. Such models faced convergence issues due to vanishing gradient, later…

As convolution has empowered many smart applications, dynamic convolution further equips it with the ability to adapt to diverse inputs. However, the static and dynamic convolutions are either layout-agnostic or computation-heavy, making it…
