Quantization, Projection, and Pruning

Compress a deep neural network by performing quantization, projection, or pruning

Use Deep Learning Toolbox™ together with the Deep Learning Toolbox Model Quantization Library support package to reduce the memory footprint and computational requirements of a deep neural network by:

Pruning filters from convolution layers by using first-order Taylor approximation. You can then generate C/C++ or CUDA^® code from this pruned network.
Projecting layers by performing principal component analysis (PCA) on the layer activations using a data set representative of the training data and applying linear projections on the layer learnable parameters. Forward passes of a projected deep neural network are typically faster when you deploy the network to embedded hardware using library-free C/C++ code generation.
Quantizing the weights, biases, and activations of layers to reduced precision scaled integer data types. You can then generate C/C++, CUDA, or HDL code from this quantized network.
For C/C++ and CUDA code generation, the software generates code for a convolutional deep neural network by quantizing the weights, biases, and activations of the convolution layers to 8-bit scaled integer data types. The quantization is performed by providing the calibration result file produced by the calibrate function to the codegen (MATLAB Coder) command.
Code generation does not support quantized deep neural networks produced by the quantize function.
