Abstract
An apparatus includes at least one processor; and at least one non-transitory memory including computer program code; wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to: estimate an importance of parameters of a neural network based on a graph diffusion process over at least one layer of the neural network; determine the parameters of the neural network that are suitable for pruning or sparsification; remove neurons of the neural network to prune or sparsify the neural network; and provide at least one syntax element for signaling the pruned or sparsified neural network over a communication channel, wherein the at least one syntax element comprises at least one neural network representation syntax element.
