Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to transform data sets, such as matrices representing layers of neural networks, to increase sparsity and/or other characteristics of said data sets to improve performance in computations, such as neural network computations. In at least one embodiment, one or more subsets of data in one or more sets of data are rearranged as part of a process to increase sparsity in said one or more sets of data to satisfy one or more one or more structural sparsity constraints.
