A grammar is used in a grammatical evolution of a set of parent neural network models to generate a set of child neural network models. A generation of neural network models is tested based on a set of test data, where the generation includes the set of child neural network models. Respective values for each one of a plurality of attributes are determined for each neural network in the generation, where one of the attributes includes a validation accuracy value determined from the test. Multi-objective optimization is performed based on the values of the plurality of attributes for the generation of neural networks and a subset of the generation of neural network models is selected based on the results of the multi-objective optimization.

Automated generation of neural networks

A pruned version of a neural network is generated by determining pruned versions of each a plurality of layers of the network. The pruned version of each layer is determined by sorting a set of channels of the layer based on respective weight values of each channel in the set. A percentage of the set of channels are pruned based on the sorting to form a thinned version of the layer. Accuracy of a thinned version of the neural network is tested, where the thinned version of the neural network includes the thinned version of the layer. The thinned version of the layer is used to generate the pruned version of the layer based on the accuracy of the thinned version of the neural network exceeding a threshold accuracy value. A pruned version of the neural network is generated to include the pruned versions of the plurality of layers.

Hybrid neural network pruning

An output of a first one of a plurality of layers within a neural network is identified. A bitmap is determined from the output, the bitmap including a binary matrix. A particular subset of operations for a second one of the plurality of layers is determined to be skipped based on the bitmap. Operations are performed for the second layer other than the particular subset of operations, while the particular subset of operations are skipped.

Dynamic culling of matrix operations

A machine learning system is provided to enhance various aspects of machine learning models. In some aspects, a substantially photorealistic three-dimensional (3D) graphical model of an object is accessed and a set of training images of the 3D graphical mode are generated, the set of training images generated to add imperfections and degrade photorealistic quality of the training images. The set of training images are provided as training data to train an artificial neural network.
