Abstract
A system and method for pruning. A neural network includes a plurality of long short-term memory cells, each of which includes an input having a weight matrix W, an input gate having a weight matrix W, a forget gate having a weight matrix W, and an output gate having a weight matrix W. In some embodiments, after initial training, one or more of the weight matrices W, W, and Ware pruned, and the weight matrix Wis left unchanged. The neural network is then retrained, the pruned weights being constrained to remain zero during retraining.
