Pruning Filter via Geometric Median for Deep Convolutional Neural Networks Acceleration
Yang He ; Ping Liu ; Ziwei Wang ; Yi Yang ;
Date 1 Nov 2018
AbstractPrevious works utilized "smaller-norm-less-important" criterion to prune filters with smaller norm values in a convolutional neural network. In this paper, we analyze this norm-based criterion and point out that its effectiveness depends on two requirements that not always met: (1) the norm deviation of the filters should be large; (2) the minimum norm of the filters should be small. To solve this problem, we propose a novel filter pruning method, namely Filter Pruning via Geometric Median (FPGM), to compress the model regardless of those two requirements. Unlike previous methods, PFGM compresses CNN models by determining and pruning those filters with redundant information via Geometric Median (GM), rather than those with "relatively less" importance. When applied to two image classification benchmarks, our method validates its usefulness and strengths. Notably, on Cifar-10, PFGM reduces more than 52% FLOPs on ResNet-110 with even 2.69% relative accuracy improvement. Besides, on ILSCRC-2012, PFGM reduces more than 42% FLOPs on ResNet-101 without top-5 accuracy drop, which has advanced the state-of-the-art.
