Abstract

The invention relates to a pruning method for a deep convolutional neural network, computer equipment and an application method, and the method comprises the steps: (1), taking a layer as a unit, andexecuting a convolution kernel spectral clustering algorithm; (2) carrying out intra-layer convolution kernel pruning, dynamically calculating a spectral clustering pruning rate of this round, cuttingoff convolution kernels of non-clustering centers, and finely adjusting a certain number of rounds to recover precision; (3) calculating the importance of the convolution kernel by taking the globalsituation as a unit; (4) carrying out global convolution kernel pruning, calculating the global pruning rate of the current round dynamically, cutting off convolution kernels with low importance, andadjusting a certain round number finely to recover precision; (5) circularly executing the steps (1) to (4) until the target pruning rate is reached; and (6) keeping the weight of the descending convolution kernel as initialization, and continuing to finely adjust a certain number of rounds to obtain a final pruning network. According to the method, the problem that a large number of redundant parameters exist in an existing deep convolutional neural network is solved, and compression and acceleration of the network are achieved on a universal hardware platform.
