Jointly Sparse Convolutional Neural Networks in Dual Spatial-Winograd Domains
share
We consider the optimization of deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) such that they provide good performance while having reduced complexity if deployed on either conventional systems with spatial-domain convolution or lower-complexity systems designed for Winograd convolution. The proposed framework produces one compressed model whose convolutional filters can be made sparse either in the spatial domain or in the Winograd domain. Hence, the compressed model can be deployed universally on any platform, without need for re-training on the deployed platform. To get a better compression ratio, the sparse model is compressed in the spatial domain that has a fewer number of parameters. From our experiments, we obtain 24.2× and 47.7× compressed models for ResNet-18 and AlexNet trained on the ImageNet dataset, while their computational cost is also reduced by 4.5× and 5.1×, respectively.
