Abstract
A method and apparatus for the pruning of a neural network is provided. The method sets a weight threshold value based on a weight distribution of layers included in a neural network, predicts a change of inference accuracy of a neural network by pruning of each layer based on the weight threshold value, determines a current subject layer to be pruned with a weight threshold value among the layers included in the neural network, and prunes a determined current subject layer.
