Abstract
Methods for generating a simplified computer-implemented neural network for a device. The method includes receiving a predefined neural network, which includes a plurality of neural network substructures in two or more layers; computing an approximative neural network for the predefined neural network, and computing a matrix with respect to the approximative neural network, which describes changes in the loss function due to simultaneous pruning of at least two network substructures from the plurality of neural network substructures which are situated within different layers of the two or more layers of the predefined neural network. The method finally includes pruning, based on the changes in the loss function described in the matrix, at least one neural network substructure from the plurality of neural network substructures to generate the simplified neural network.
