Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• We propose a self-evolving network architecture optimization framework incorporating the advantages of network architecture pruning, knowledge distillation, and neural architecture search approaches. It can optimize an existing network into a more efficient network with better accuracy and smaller parameter size. • We propose two new designs for network architecture optimization, the first one is the attention layer to identify the bottleneck of the network performance; the second one is edge-splitting scheme for efficient network modification and construction. • We demonstrate our framework through comprehensive experiments achieving state-of-the-art accuracy and parameter sizes compared to existing network pruning and knowledge distillation algorithms.
