Abstract

A method of multi-rate neural image compression is performed by at least one processor and includes selecting encoding masks, based on a first hyperparameter, and performing a convolution of a first plurality of weights of a first neural network and the selected encoding masks to obtain first masked weights. The method further includes encoding an input image to obtain an encoded representation, using the first masked weights, and encoding the obtained encoded representation to obtain a compressed representation.
