Background

Network Slimming uses L1 regularization to sparsely train the BN layer's scaling factor; After the training, it performs channel-level pruning operation; Finally, by fine-tuning to recovery performance. it achieves good results in practical application.

Usage

First, you need set env for PYTHONPATH and CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES

$ export PYTHONPATH=<project root path>
$ export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0

Then, begin train-prune-finetuning

• For train

$ python tools/train.py -cfg=configs/vggnet/vgg16_bn_cifar100_224_e100_sgd_mslr_slim_1e_4.yaml

• For prune

$ python tools/prune/prune_vggnet.py

• For fine-tuning

$ python tools/train.py -cfg=configs/vggnet/refine_pruned_0_2_vgg16_bn_cifar100_224_e100_sgd_mslr_slim_1e_4.yaml

Finally, set the fine-tuning model path in the PRELOADED option of the configuration file

$ python tools/test.py -cfg=configs/vggnet/refine_pruned_0_2_vgg16_bn_cifar100_224_e100_sgd_mslr_slim_1e_4.yaml
