Deep neural networks have witnessed remarkable advancements in recent years and have become integral to various applications. However, alongside these developments, training and deployment of neural network models on embedding and edge devices face significant challenges due to limited memory and computational resources.
arXiv:2509. 14230v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While structured pruning presents a highly effective pathway for accelerating Large Language Model (LLM) inference, existing methods frequently suffer from significant performance degradation and demand computationally retraining to recover capabilities.

arXiv:2508. 13836v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Pruning is a core technique for compressing neural networks to improve computational efficiency.

arXiv:2608. 08624v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Domain generalization (DG) and neural network pruning are conventionally treated as distinct objectives, targeting out-of-distribution (OOD) robustness and model efficiency, respectively.

arXiv:2607. 05457v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep neural networks often contain substantial hidden-state redundancy, but most compression methods operate directly on weights, neurons, or quantised representations without explicitly characterising the dynamical role of internal states.
By Anis Hamadouche, Amir Hussain
arXiv:2607. 21366v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep neural networks encode complex representations, but deconstructing this internal knowledge remains a challenge.
By Hossein Mobahi, Peter L. Bartlett
arXiv:2605. 22350v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Ensembles of neural networks typically outperform individual networks but incur large computational costs, whereas weight aggregation produces less costly, yet also less accurate, aggregate models.

arXiv:2507. 14171v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Importance-based structured pruning overwhelmingly relies on filter magnitude.
By Jaeheun Jung, Jaehyuk Lee, Yeajin Lee, Donghun Lee
arXiv:2607. 08754v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Low-rank factorization is widely used to compress neural networks, but modern models are often not naturally amenable to aggressive factorization without significant accuracy loss.

arXiv:2607. 18284v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: To excel at their domain large language models are comprised of billions of parameters.

arXiv:2606. 00130v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large deep neural networks are costly to store and deploy because inference must move and evaluate many parameters.
By Andrzej Cichocki, Michal Wietczak
arXiv:2604. 00208v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Comparing internal representations is a central goal in neuroscience and machine learning, but standard linear alignment metrics (Representational Similarity Analysis, Centered Kernel Alignment, and linear regression) are frequently applied to neural activity coordinates rather than on the underlying features.
