Partial Fusion of Neural Networks: Efficient Tradeoffs Between Ensembles and Weight Aggregation

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.

Structured vs. Unstructured Pruning: An Exponential Gap

arXiv:2603. 02234v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The Strong Lottery Ticket Hypothesis (SLTH) states that large, randomly initialized neural networks contain sparse subnetworks capable of approximating a target function at initialization without training, suggesting that pruning alone is sufficient.
