摘要
En 中文
Pruning is an efficient method for deep neural network model compression and acceleration. However, existing pruning strategies, both at the filter level and at the channel level, often introduce a large amount of computation and adopt complex methods for finding sub-networks. It is found that there is a linear relationship between the sum of matrix elements of the channels in convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and the expectation scaling ratio of the image pixel distribution, which is reflects the relationship between the expectation change of the pixel distribution between the feature mapping and the input data. This implies that channels with similar expectation scaling factors (dE) cause similar expectation changes to the input data, thus producing redundant feature mappings. Thus, this article proposes a new structured pruning method called EXP. In the proposed method, the channels with similar dE are randomly removed in each convolutional layer, and thus the whole network achieves random sparsity to obtain non-redundant and non-unique sub-networks. Experiments on pruning various networks show that EXP can achieve a significant reduction of FLOPs. For example, on the CIFAR-10 dataset, EXP reduces the FLOPs of the ResNet-56 model by 71.9% with a 0.23% loss in Top-1 accuracy. On ILSVRC-2012, it reduces the FLOPs of the ResNet-50 model by 60.0% with a 1.13% loss of Top-1 accuracy.
