Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus for efficiently performing a computation of a convolutional neural network layer. One of the methods includes transforming a X by Y by Z input tensor into a X' by Y′ by Z′ input tensor, wherein X′ is smaller than or equal to X, Y′ is smaller than or equal to Y, and Z′ is larger than or equal to Z; obtaining one or more modified weight matrices, wherein the modified weight matrices operate on the X′ by Y′ by Z′ input tensor to generate a U′ by V′ by W′ output tensor, and the U′ by V′ by W′ output tensor is a transformed U by V by W output tensor; and processing the X′ by Y′ by Z′ input tensor using the modified weight matrices to generate the U′ by V′ by W′ output tensor.
