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.
The paper proposes a new strategy for merging layers in deep neural networks, enabling depth compression without requiring an analytical solution for convolutions with padding and without increasing kernel size. This approach addresses limitations of previous methods that struggled with padded convolutions and larger kernels, and it is validated across various architectures and datasets with measured inference speed-ups on embedded platforms.

GaLe is a memory‑efficient technique that allows pretrained neural networks to run on resource‑constrained devices without retraining. It splits feature maps into a local exact component that keeps fine details and a global approximate component that preserves long‑range dependencies, enabling global operations and attention mechanisms typical of hybrid CNN‑transformer models. On ImageNet, GaLe matches exact‑inference accuracy while delivering up to 65% speedup and 90% RAM reduction on a Cortex‑M33, and it works across classification, detection, and generation tasks.
