Evaluating the merits of ranking in structured network pruning by Sharma, Kuldeep, Ramakrishnan, Nirmala, Prakash, Alok, Lam, Siew-Kei, Srikanthan, Thambipillai

“…However, recent studies on widely used DNNs, such as VGG-16, have shown that selecting and preserving salient channels using pruning criteria is not necessary since the plasticity of the network allows the accuracy to be recovered through fine-tuning. In this work, we further explore the value of the ranking criteria in pruning to show that if channels are removed gradually and iteratively, alternating with fine-tuning on the target dataset, ranking criteria are indeed not necessary to select redundant channels. …”

Non-abelian representations of some sporadic geometries by Ivanov, Alexander A., Pasechnik, Dmitrii V., Shpectorov, Sergey V.

“…For a point-line incidence system S =(P, L) with three points per line we define the universal representation group of S asR(S)= 〈zp, p∈P|zp^2=1 for p∈P,zp zq zr = 1 for {p,q,r} ∈ L〉We prove that if G is the 2-local parabolic geometry of the sporadic simple group F1(the Monster) or F2(the Baby Monster) thenR(G)≅F1or 2·F2, respectively.…”
