AttoNets: Compact and Efficient Deep Neural Networks for the Edge via Human-Machine Collaborative Design

no code implementations18 Mar 2019 Alexander Wong, Zhong Qiu Lin, Brendan Chwyl

Furthermore, the efficacy of the AttoNets is demonstrated for the task of instance-level object segmentation and object detection, where an AttoNet-based Mask R-CNN network was constructed with significantly fewer parameters and computational costs (~5x fewer multiply-add operations and ~2x fewer parameters) than a ResNet-50 based Mask R-CNN network.

FermiNets: Learning generative machines to generate efficient neural networks via generative synthesis

no code implementations17 Sep 2018 Alexander Wong, Mohammad Javad Shafiee, Brendan Chwyl, Francis Li

In this study, we introduce the idea of generative synthesis, which is premised on the intricate interplay between a generator-inquisitor pair that work in tandem to garner insights and learn to generate highly efficient deep neural networks that best satisfies operational requirements.

SquishedNets: Squishing SqueezeNet further for edge device scenarios via deep evolutionary synthesis

no code implementations20 Nov 2017 Mohammad Javad Shafiee, Francis Li, Brendan Chwyl, Alexander Wong

While deep neural networks have been shown in recent years to outperform other machine learning methods in a wide range of applications, one of the biggest challenges with enabling deep neural networks for widespread deployment on edge devices such as mobile and other consumer devices is high computational and memory requirements.
