PDAS: Improving network pruning based on Progressive Differentiable Architecture Search for DNNs

Wenbin Jiang, Yuhao Chen, Suyang Wen, Long Zheng, Hai Jin

Abstract: Highlights•The idea of evolution is introduced into the search.•It is the first time to take into account the residual networks.•Make full use of network structures by limiting the composition of the search space.•Better accuracies and lower computation are achieved for deeper neural networks.
