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. …”
