Efficient Channel Pruning via Sparse Learning for Compact Deep Neural Networks
摘要
This study aims to reduce the computational complexity of deep learning models through structured pruning. It introduces a channel pruning approach based on sparse learning, designed to simplify networks while maintaining high performance. By enforcing channel-level sparsity in an efficient yet straightforward manner, the method identifies and removes insignificant channels during training, transforming wide and large networks into compact, efficient models with minimal accuracy loss. Experimental results on modern architectures across multiple benchmark datasets confirm the effectiveness of this approach, demonstrating significant model compression while preserving competitive accuracy compared to state-of-the-art techniques.
