Jointly Sparse Convolutional Neural Networks in Dual Spatial-Winograd Domains

Choi, Yoojin, El-Khamy, Mostafa, Lee, Jungwon

Understand

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.
