Layer-Wise Data-Free CNN Compression

We present an efficient method for compressing a trained neural network without using any data. Our data-free method requires 14x-450x fewer FLOPs than comparable state-of-the-art methods. We break the problem of data-free network compression into a number of independent layer-wise compressions. We show how to efficiently generate layer-wise training data, and how to precondition the …
