Puppet-CNN: Input-Adaptive Convolutional Neural Networks with Model Compression using Ordinary Differential Equation
Yucheng Xing, Xin Wang·November 19, 2024
Summary
Puppet-CNN introduces an input-adaptive CNN framework with a puppet module processing data and a puppeteer module using ODE to generate its parameters based on input complexity. This reduces model size by over 10 times, enhancing performance and efficiency compared to traditional CNNs. Puppet-CNN addresses limitations of conventional CNNs, including storage challenges, lack of inter-layer dependencies, and inflexibility in handling data complexity. The method focuses on a two-step process for deep learning model adaptation, handling the puppeteer's parameters using a smaller network. This allows the model to adapt its structure and parameters based on data complexity. Experiments evaluate the model's effectiveness in image classification, using Cifar-10, Cifar-100, and mini-ImageNet datasets. The Puppet-CNN model outperforms others in both performance and efficiency, as shown in Table 1.
