To address the limitations of existing magnitude-based pruning algorithms in cases where model weights or activations are of large and similar magnitude, we propose a novel perspective to discover parameter redundancy among channels and accelerate deep CNNs via channel pruning. Precisely, we argue that channels revealing similar feature information have functional overlap and that most channels within each such similarity group can be removed without compromising models representational power. After deriving an effective metric for evaluating channel similarity through probabilistic modeling, we introduce a pruning algorithm via hierarchical clustering of channels. In particular, the proposed algorithm does not rely on sparsity training techniques or complex data-driven optimization and can be directly applied to pre-trained models. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets strongly demonstrate the superior acceleration performance of our approach over prior arts. On ImageNet, our pruned ResNet-50 with 30% FLOPs reduced outperforms the baseline model.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive pruning method. This method can cut off the channel and layer adaptively. The proportion of the layer and the channel to be cut is learned adaptively. The pruning method proposed in this paper can reduce half of
the parameters, and the accuracy will not decrease or even be higher than baseline.
As the key advancement of the convolutional neural networks (CNNs), depthwise separable convolutions (DSCs) are becoming one of the most popular techniques to reduce the computations and parameters size of CNNs meanwhile maintaining the model accurac
y. It also brings profound impact to improve the applicability of the compute- and memory-intensive CNNs to a broad range of applications, such as mobile devices, which are generally short of computation power and memory. However, previous research in DSCs are largely focusing on compositing the limited existing DSC designs, thus, missing the opportunities to explore more potential designs that can achieve better accuracy and higher computation/parameter reduction. Besides, the off-the-shelf convolution implementations offer limited computing schemes, therefore, lacking support for DSCs with different convolution patterns. To this end, we introduce, DSXplore, the first optimized design for exploring DSCs on CNNs. Specifically, at the algorithm level, DSXplore incorporates a novel factorized kernel -- sliding-channel convolution (SCC), featured with input-channel overlapping to balance the accuracy performance and the reduction of computation and memory cost. SCC also offers enormous space for design exploration by introducing adjustable kernel parameters. Further, at the implementation level, we carry out an optimized GPU-implementation tailored for SCC by leveraging several key techniques, such as the input-centric backward design and the channel-cyclic optimization. Intensive experiments on different datasets across mainstream CNNs show the advantages of DSXplore in balancing accuracy and computation/parameter reduction over the standard convolution and the existing DSCs.
In this paper, we introduce a new channel pruning method to accelerate very deep convolutional neural networks.Given a trained CNN model, we propose an iterative two-step algorithm to effectively prune each layer, by a LASSO regression based channel
selection and least square reconstruction. We further generalize this algorithm to multi-layer and multi-branch cases. Our method reduces the accumulated error and enhance the compatibility with various architectures. Our pruned VGG-16 achieves the state-of-the-art results by 5x speed-up along with only 0.3% increase of error. More importantly, our method is able to accelerate modern networks like ResNet, Xception and suffers only 1.4%, 1.0% accuracy loss under 2x speed-up respectively, which is significant. Code has been made publicly available.
In this work we propose a novel approach to utilize convolutional neural networks for time series forecasting. The time direction of the sequential data with spatial dimensions $D=1,2$ is considered democratically as the input of a spatiotemporal $(D
+1)$-dimensional convolutional neural network. Latter then reduces the data stream from $D +1 to D$ dimensions followed by an incriminator cell which uses this information to forecast the subsequent time step. We empirically compare this strategy to convolutional LSTMs and LSTMs on their performance on the sequential MNIST and the JSB chorals dataset, respectively. We conclude that temporally folded convolutional neural networks (TFCs) may outperform the conventional recurrent strategies.
In active learning, sampling bias could pose a serious inconsistency problem and hinder the algorithm from finding the optimal hypothesis. However, many methods for neural networks are hypothesis space agnostic and do not address this problem. We exa
mine active learning with convolutional neural networks through the principled lens of version space reduction. We identify the connection between two approaches---prior mass reduction and diameter reduction---and propose a new diameter-based querying method---the minimum Gibbs-vote disagreement. By estimating version space diameter and bias, we illustrate how version space of neural networks evolves and examine the realizability assumption. With experiments on MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, SVHN and STL-10 datasets, we demonstrate that diameter reduction methods reduce the version space more effectively and perform better than prior mass reduction and other baselines, and that the Gibbs vote disagreement is on par with the best query method.
