Abstract
A method for compressing a neural network includes: obtaining a neural network including a plurality of parameters to be compressed; dividing the parameters into J blocks; compressing a jblock with Kcompression ratios to generate Koperation branches; obtaining Kweighting factors; replacing the jblock with the Koperation branches weighted by the Kweighting factors to generate a replacement neural network; performing forward propagation to the replacement neural network, a weighted sum operation being performed on Koperation results generated by the Koperation branches with the Kweighting factors and a result of the operation being used as an output; performing backward propagation to the replacement neural network, updated values of the Kweighting factors being calculated based on a model loss; and determining an operation branch corresponding to the maximum value of the updated values of the Kweighting factors as a compressed jblock.
