Scaling Parallel Sequence Models to Foundation-Scale Vision Encoders

arXiv:2606. 00746v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision foundation models are bottlenecked by the quadratic cost of self-attention, which limits usable resolution and increases the cost of large-scale pretraining.

Towards Efficient Convolutional Neural Network for Embedded Hardware via Multi-Dimensional Pruning

arXiv:2607. 11473v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this paper, we propose TECO, a multi-dimensional pruning framework to collaboratively prune the three dimensions (depth, width, and resolution) of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for better execution efficiency on embedded hardware.
