Abstract
Provided are an apparatus and method of compressing an artificial neural network. According to the method and the apparatus, an optimal compression rate and an optimal operation accuracy are determined by compressing an artificial neural network, determining a task accuracy of a compressed artificial neural network, and automatically calculating a compression rate and a compression ratio based on the determined task accuracy. The method includes obtaining an initial value of a task accuracy for a task processed by the artificial neural network, compressing the artificial neural network by adjusting weights of connections among layers of the artificial neural network included in information regarding the connections, determining a compression rate for the compressed artificial neural network based on the initial value of the task accuracy and a task accuracy of the compressed artificial neural network, and re-compressing the compressed artificial neural network according to the compression rate.
