CHAMP: Coherent Hardware-Aware Magnitude Pruning of Integrated Photonic Neural Networks (2112.06098v1)
Published 11 Dec 2021 in cs.ET and cs.LG
Abstract: We propose a novel hardware-aware magnitude pruning technique for coherent photonic neural networks. The proposed technique can prune 99.45% of network parameters and reduce the static power consumption by 98.23% with a negligible accuracy loss.
