APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PRUNING OF FILTERS IN CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORKS

摘要

It relates to a filter pruning method in a convolutional neural network (CNN), and the filter pruning method in a convolutional neural network is (a) between filters included in any one convolutional layer among a plurality of convolutional layers in a convolutional neural network. Calculating a similarity; And (b) selectively pruning any one of two filters included in each similar filter pair with respect to at least one similar filter pair having a similarity that exceeds the threshold similarity.
