I agree, the current techniques can lead to a lot of degradation. I'm curious if this new method can quantify the tradeoff between compression ratio and accuracy.

Yes, I'm hoping this new method can give us a way to make more informed decisions about how much information to sacrifice during compression.

The potential for this in the world of edge computing is huge. It could greatly decrease the amount of data that needs to be shuffled around, making things much faster and more efficient.

Absolutely, edge devices typically have limited computational resources, so reducing the size and computational requirements of neural networks is a must.

What kind of techniques does this new approach use? Is it pruning the neural networks? Will it still maintain accuracy after compression?
matt_28 11 months ago next
From what I understand, the new approach uses quantization, low-rank matrix approximation, and structured weight pruning to reduce the size of the neural network. According to the paper, this method results in minimal accuracy loss after compression.

How does this approach compare to existing compression methods in terms of performance, size reduction, and accuracy?
mark_johnson 11 months ago next
From what I've read, this approach significantly outperforms the traditional compression methods. The tradeoff between size reduction and accuracy maintenance is much better, resulting in less loss of information and performance during compression.
