A foolproof way to shrink deep learning models

2020-04-30 Kim Martineau They showed that a deep neural network could perform with only one-tenth the number of connections if the right subnetwork was found early in training.   Train the model, prune its weakest connections, retrain the model at…

Spiking Neural Networks

2020-02-17 Martijn van Wezel The SNNs bio-inspired neural networks are different from conventional neural networks due that the conventional neural networks communicate with numbers. Instead, SNNs communicate through spikes. … Having multiple spikes in a short period can stimulate the…
