Abstract
A neural network pruning method includes acquiring a first task accuracy of an inference task processed by a pretrained neural network, pruning, based on a channel unit, the neural network by adjusting weights between nodes of channels based on a preset learning weight and based on a channel-by-channel pruning parameter corresponding to a channel of each of a plurality of layers of the pretrained neural network, updating the learning weight based on the first task accuracy and a task accuracy of the pruned neural network, updating the channel-by-channel pruning parameter based on the updated learning weight and the task accuracy of the pruned neural network, and repruning, based on the channel unit, the pruned neural network based on the updated learning weight and based on the updated channel-by-channel pruning parameter.
