A striking observation about iterative magnitude pruning (IMP; Frankle et al. 2020) is that $\unicode{x2014}$ after just a few hundred steps of dense training $\unicode{x2014}$ the method can find a sparse sub-network that can be trained to…

Neural network pruning has traditionally focused on weight-based criteria to achieve model compression, frequently overlooking the crucial balance between adversarial robustness and accuracy. Existing approaches often fail to preserve…

Graph neural networks (GNNs) are known to operate with high accuracy on learning from graph-structured data, but they suffer from high computational and resource costs. Neural network compression methods are used to reduce the model size…

The advent of sparsity inducing techniques in neural networks has been of a great help in the last few years. Indeed, those methods allowed to find lighter and faster networks, able to perform more efficiently in resource-constrained…

Deeper and wider Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) achieve superior performance but bring expensive computation cost. Accelerating such over-parameterized neural network has received increased attention. A typical pruning algorithm is a…

Compressing and pruning large machine learning models has become a critical step towards their deployment in real-world applications. Standard pruning and compression techniques are typically designed without taking the structure of the…

Model pruning in transformer-based language models, traditionally viewed as a means of achieving computational savings, can enhance the model's reasoning capabilities. In this work, we uncover a surprising phenomenon: the selective pruning…

Network compression is crucial to making the deep networks to be more efficient, faster, and generalizable to low-end hardware. Current network compression methods have two open problems: first, there lacks a theoretical framework to…

Popular network pruning algorithms reduce redundant information by optimizing hand-crafted models, and may cause suboptimal performance and long time in selecting filters. We innovatively introduce adaptive exemplar filters to simplify the…

In this paper, we study the importance of pruning in Deep Networks (DNs) and the yin & yang relationship between (1) pruning highly overparametrized DNs that have been trained from random initialization and (2) training small DNs that have…

The existence of "lottery tickets" arXiv:1803.03635 at or near initialization raises the tantalizing question of whether large models are necessary in deep learning, or whether sparse networks can be quickly identified and trained without…

The subject of green AI has been gaining attention within the deep learning community given the recent trend of ever larger and more complex neural network models. Existing solutions for reducing the computational load of training at…

It is well known that deep neural networks (DNNs) are vulnerable to adversarial attacks, which are implemented by adding crafted perturbations onto benign examples. Min-max robust optimization based adversarial training can provide a notion…

Previous work showed empirically that large neural networks can be significantly reduced in size while preserving their accuracy. Model compression became a central research topic, as it is crucial for deployment of neural networks on…

The proposed pruning strategy offers merits over weight-based pruning techniques: (1) it avoids irregular memory access since representations and matrices can be squeezed into their smaller but dense counterparts, leading to greater…

Structured channel pruning has been shown to significantly accelerate inference time for convolution neural networks (CNNs) on modern hardware, with a relatively minor loss of network accuracy. Recent works permanently zero these channels…

Neural network quantization and pruning are two techniques commonly used to reduce the computational complexity and memory footprint of these models for deployment. However, most existing pruning strategies operate on full-precision and…

It is widely acknowledged that large and sparse models have higher accuracy than small and dense models under the same model size constraints. This motivates us to train a large model and then remove its redundant neurons or weights by…

Pruning remains an effective strategy for reducing both the costs and environmental impact associated with deploying large neural networks (NNs) while maintaining performance. Classical methods, such as OBD (LeCun et al., 1989) and OBS…

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…
