A Webinar on “ Neutral Network Pruning ”

#WIE

Title: Neural Network Pruning

Abstract:

The remarkable success of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) across a numerous  applications comes with a significant increase in computation and parameter storage costs. To address these challenges, recent efforts have been focused on pruning and compressing the weights of various layers while maintaining, or even enhancing, performance. This session will explore CNN pruning techniques by identifying and retaining the most relevant units—be it weights or filters—through the calculation of various saliency scores, including Magnitude, Sync Score, and Taylor Series Score. We will also delve into the Brain Surgeon algorithm for pruning.
