  • Publication number: 20240005134
    Abstract: The invention discloses a neural network retraining and gradient sparse method based on the aging sensing of memristors. For the accuracy rate of hardware online reasoning decreases after cross-array aging, the extreme values of programmable weights under a current aging condition is calculated by using the known aging information of memristor, and a neural network model is retrained according to this, so as to improve the accuracy rate of the current hardware online reasoning. In the process of retraining, network weights exceeding the extreme values of programmable weights are automatically truncated. For the working life of the memristor, the sparsity of derivatives of the neural network is utilized to discard the derivatives with a small absolute value in hardware adjustment process, so as to ensure that the memristor corresponding to small derivatives would not be applied voltage, prevent the aging process of the memristors and prolong the service life thereof.

  • Publication number: 20220207374
    Abstract: Disclosed in the present invention is a mixed-granularity-based joint sparse method for a neural network. The joint sparse method comprises independent vector-wise fine-grained sparsity and block-wise coarse-grained sparsity; and a final pruning mask is obtained by performing a bitwise logic AND operation on pruning masks independently generated by two sparse methods, and then a weight matrix of the neural network after sparsity is obtained. The joint sparsity of the present invention always obtains the reasoning speed between a block sparsity mode and a balanced sparsity mode without considering the vector row size of the vector-wise fine-grained sparsity and the vector block size of the block-wise coarse-grained sparsity. Pruning for a convolutional layer and a fully-connected layer of a neural network has the advantages of variable sparse granularity, acceleration of general hardware reasoning and high accuracy of model reasoning.

  • Patent number: 11030528
    Abstract: A convolutional neural network pruning method based on feature map sparsification, which relates to how to compress the convolutional neural network to reduce the number of parameters and amount of computation so as to facilitate actual deployment, is provided. In the training process, by adding regularization to the feature map L1 or L2 after the activation layer in the loss function, the corresponding feature map channels have different sparsity. Under a certain pruned ratio, the convolution kernels corresponding to the channels are pruned according to the sparsity of the feature map channels. After fine-tune pruning, the network obtains new accuracy, and the pruned ratio is adjusted according to the change of accuracy before and after pruning. After multiple iterations, the near-optimal pruned ratio is found, and pruning is realized to the maximum extent under the condition that the accuracy does not decrease.
