Abstract
A pruning method of neural network based video coding of a current block of a picture of a video sequence is performed by at least one processor and includes categorizing parameters of a neural network into groups, setting a first index to indicate that a first group of the groups is to be pruned, and a second index to indicate that a second group of the groups is not to be pruned, and transmitting, to a decoder, the set first index and the set second index. Based on the transmitted first index and the transmitted second index, the current block is processed using the parameters of which the first group of the groups is pruned.
