Abstract
A convolution neural network (CNN) model is trained and pruned at a pruning ratio. The model is then trained and pruned one or more times without constraining the model according to any previous pruning step. The pruning ratio may be increased at each iteration until a pruning target is reached. The model may then be trained again with pruned connections masked. The process of pruning, retraining, and adjusting the pruning ratio may also be repeated one or more times with a different pruning target.
