TLDR
This work proposes a small DNN architecture called SqueezeNet, which achieves AlexNet-level accuracy on ImageNet with 50x fewer parameters and is able to compress to less than 0.5MB (510x smaller than AlexNet).
Abstract
Recent research on deep neural networks has focused primarily on improving accuracy. For a given accuracy level, it is typically possible to identify multiple DNN architectures that achieve that accuracy level. With equivalent accuracy, smaller DNN architectures offer at least three advantages: (1) Smaller DNNs require less communication across servers during distributed training. (2) Smaller DNNs require less bandwidth to export a new model from the cloud to an autonomous car. (3) Smaller DNNs are more feasible to deploy on FPGAs and other hardware with limited memory. To provide all of these advantages, we propose a small DNN architecture called SqueezeNet. SqueezeNet achieves AlexNet-level accuracy on ImageNet with 50x fewer parameters. Additionally, with model compression techniques we are able to compress SqueezeNet to less than 0.5MB (510x smaller than AlexNet). The SqueezeNet architecture is available for download here: this https URL

Learning Deep Representations with Probabilistic Knowledge Transfer

TL;DR: In this paper, a probabilistic knowledge transfer method that works by matching the probability distribution of the data in the feature space instead of their actual representation is proposed. But this method cannot be used efficiently for other representation learning tasks.

Pruning neural networks without any data by iteratively conserving synaptic flow

TL;DR: The data-agnostic pruning algorithm challenges the existing paradigm that, at initialization, data must be used to quantify which synapses are important, and consistently competes with or outperforms existing state-of-the-art pruning algorithms at initialization over a range of models, datasets, and sparsity constraints.
