TLDR
XNOR-Nets as discussed by the authors approximate convolutions using primarily binary operations, which results in 58x faster convolutional operations and 32x memory savings, and outperforms BinaryConnect and BinaryNets by large margins on ImageNet.Abstract:
We propose two efficient approximations to standard convolutional neural networks: Binary-Weight-Networks and XNOR-Networks. In Binary-Weight-Networks, the filters are approximated with binary values resulting in 32x memory saving. In XNOR-Networks, both the filters and the input to convolutional layers are binary. XNOR-Networks approximate convolutions using primarily binary operations. This results in 58x faster convolutional operations and 32x memory savings. XNOR-Nets offer the possibility of running state-of-the-art networks on CPUs (rather than GPUs) in real-time. Our binary networks are simple, accurate, efficient, and work on challenging visual tasks. We evaluate our approach on the ImageNet classification task. The classification accuracy with a Binary-Weight-Network version of AlexNet is only 2.9% less than the full-precision AlexNet (in top-1 measure). We compare our method with recent network binarization methods, BinaryConnect and BinaryNets, and outperform these methods by large margins on ImageNet, more than 16% in top-1 accuracy.read more

Towards Optimal Structured CNN Pruning via Generative Adversarial Learning
Shaohui Lin,Rongrong Ji,Chenqian Yan,Baochang Zhang,Liujuan Cao,Qixiang Ye,Feiyue Huang,David Doermann +7 more
TL;DR: This paper proposes an effective structured pruning approach that jointly prunes filters as well as other structures in an end-to-end manner and effectively solves the optimization problem by generative adversarial learning (GAL), which learns a sparse soft mask in a label-free and an end to end manner.
