Abstract

A method of pruning a convolutional neural network, comprising at least one of determining a number of channels (N) between a network input and a network output, constructing N lookup tables, each lookup table matched to a respective channel and pruning filters in the convolutional neural network to create a shortcut between the network input and the network output based on the N lookup tables.
