Structured pruning is a commonly used convolutional neural network (CNN) compression approach. Pruning rate setting is a fundamental problem in structured pruning. Most existing works introduce too many additional learnable parameters to…

With the introduction of SNIP [arXiv:1810.02340v2], it has been demonstrated that modern neural networks can effectively be pruned before training. Yet, its sensitivity criterion has since been criticized for not propagating training signal…

Structural pruning of neural network parameters reduces computation, energy, and memory transfer costs during inference. We propose a novel method that estimates the contribution of a neuron (filter) to the final loss and iteratively…

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are hard to deploy on edge devices due to its high computation and storage complexities. As a common practice for model compression, network pruning consists of two major categories: unstructured and…

In this paper, we propose a novel progressive parameter pruning method for Convolutional Neural Network acceleration, named Structured Probabilistic Pruning (SPP), which effectively prunes weights of convolutional layers in a probabilistic…

Neural network pruning is a widely used strategy for reducing model storage and computing requirements. It allows to lower the complexity of the network by introducing sparsity in the weights. Because taking advantage of sparse matrices is…

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…

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…

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are ubiquitous in today's computer vision land-scape, despite involving considerable computational costs. The mainstream approaches for runtime acceleration consist in pruning connections (unstructured pruning)…

3D scenes are dominated by a large number of background points, which is redundant for the detection task that mainly needs to focus on foreground objects. In this paper, we analyze major components of existing sparse 3D CNNs and find that…

Reducing the high computational cost of large convolutional neural networks is crucial when deploying the networks to resource-constrained environments. We first show the greedy approach of recent channel pruning methods ignores the…

The high computational costs of video super-resolution (VSR) models hinder their deployment on resource-limited devices, (e.g., smartphones and drones). Existing VSR models contain considerable redundant filters, which drag down the…

Semantic segmentation for spherical data is a challenging problem in machine learning since conventional planar approaches require projecting the spherical image to the Euclidean plane. Representing the signal on a fundamentally different…

Network pruning reduces the computation costs of an over-parameterized network without performance damage. Prevailing pruning algorithms pre-define the width and depth of the pruned networks, and then transfer parameters from the unpruned…

The remarkable performance of modern deep neural networks (DNNs) is largely driven by their massive scale, often comprising tens to hundreds of millions-or even billions-of parameters. However, such a scale incurs substantial storage and…

Channel pruning is one of the predominant approaches for deep model compression. Existing pruning methods either train from scratch with sparsity constraints on channels, or minimize the reconstruction error between the pre-trained feature…

Due to the over-parameterization of neural networks, many model compression methods based on pruning and quantization have emerged. They are remarkable in reducing the size, parameter number, and computational complexity of the model.…

Image semantic segmentation aims at the pixel-level classification of images, which has requirements for both accuracy and speed in practical application. Existing semantic segmentation methods mainly rely on the high-resolution input to…

Assigning a label to each pixel in an image, namely semantic segmentation, has been an important task in computer vision, and has applications in autonomous driving, robotic navigation, localization, and scene understanding. Fully…

Semantic segmentation is a core task in computer vision with applications in biomedical imaging, remote sensing, and autonomous driving. While standard loss functions such as cross-entropy and Dice loss perform well in general cases, they…
