Amazon SageMaker Studio Lab is a free machine learning (ML) development environment based on open-source JupyterLab for anyone to learn and experiment with ML using AWS ML compute resources. It’s based on the same architecture and user interface as Amazon SageMaker Studio, but with a subset of Studio capabilities. When you begin working on ML …
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 …
Effectively disassembling and recovering materials from waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is a critical step in moving global supply chains from carbon-intensive, mined materials to recycled and renewable ones. Conventional recycling processes rely on shredding and sorting waste streams, but for WEEE, which is comprised of numerous dissimilar materials, we explore targeted disassembly of …
