Abstract: A neural network model is trained, where the training includes multiple training iterations. Weights of a particular layer of the neural network are pruned during a forward pass of a particular one of the training iterations. During the same forward pass of the particular training iteration, values of weights of the particular layer are quantized to determine a quantized-sparsified subset of weights for the particular layer. A compressed version of the neural network model is generated from the training based at least in part on the quantized-sparsified subset of weights.

Abstract: A method for localizing a device. The method is performed by a communication device. The method includes measuring a phase of a signal that the communication device has received from the device, the signal having a first frequency; measuring a phase of at least one further signal that the communication device has received from the device; the at least one further signal having a second frequency, determining a phase pattern of a measured phase versus frequency, pattern matching the phase pattern with each reference phase pattern of a plurality of pre-determined reference phase patterns. Each reference phase pattern is associated with a distance between the communication device and the further communication device. The method further includes determining the distance between the further communication device and the communication device based on the pattern matching.

Abstract: A pruned version of a neural network is generated by determining pruned versions of each a plurality of layers of the network. The pruned version of each layer is determined by sorting a set of channels of the layer based on respective weight values of each channel in the set. A percentage of the set of channels are pruned based on the sorting to form a thinned version of the layer. Accuracy of a thinned version of the neural network is tested, where the thinned version of the neural network includes the thinned version of the layer. The thinned version of the layer is used to generate the pruned version of the layer based on the accuracy of the thinned version of the neural network exceeding a threshold accuracy value. A pruned version of the neural network is generated to include the pruned versions of the plurality of layers.
