The learned weights of a neural network are often considered devoid of scrutable internal structure. To discern structure in these weights, we introduce a measurable notion of modularity for multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs), and investigate…

Previous AutoML pruning works utilized individual layer features to automatically prune filters. We analyze the correlation for two layers from the different blocks which have a short-cut structure. It shows that, in one block, the deeper…

Neural Networks accomplish amazing things, but they suffer from computational and memory bottlenecks that restrict their usage. Nowhere can this be better seen than in the mobile space, where specialized hardware is being created just to…

We report, for the first time, on the cascade weight shedding phenomenon in deep neural networks where in response to pruning a small percentage of a network's weights, a large percentage of the remaining is shed over a few epochs during…
