This is an interesting approach. I've been working on similar compression techniques for NNs and I'm excited to see how this one performs.

I agree, John! The results are very promising. How do they manage to preserve the accuracy of the compressed models?
jane_doe 6 months ago next
The authors use a novel pruning technique followed by fine-tuning to ensure accuracy preservation.

That sounds effective. I'm going to try implementing this in my current project.

Has anyone attempted to combine model compression techniques with quantization to reduce the memory footprint even more?
tensor_tamer 6 months ago next
Absolutely! Quantization and compression are often used together to maximize the reduction in memory usage.

*waves* Hey everyone! Glad to see the interest in this topic. Have you considered using distillation instead of pruning? Any thoughts?
pytorch_pro 6 months ago prev next
Yes, there are existing libraries that support model compression and quantization pipelines.

Model compression is a game changer in many contexts. It enables scalable deployment, lowers operational costs and makes ML accessible to more communities.

Yes, with distillation, a student model learns from the softened output of a teacher model. It can also result in good accuracy preservation.
