Query: SMOF: Squeezing More Out of Filters Yields Hardware-Friendly CNN Pruning   For many years, the family of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) has been a
workhorse in deep learning. Recently, many novel CNN structures have been
designed to address increasingly challenging tasks. To make them work
efficiently on edge devices, researchers have proposed various structured
network pruning strategies to reduce their memory and computational cost.
However, most of them only focus on reducing the number of filter channels per
layer without considering the redundancy within individual filter channels. In
this work, we explore pruning from another dimension, the kernel size. We
develop a CNN pruning framework called SMOF, which Squeezes More Out of Filters
by reducing both kernel size and the number of filter channels. Notably, SMOF
is friendly to standard hardware devices without any customized low-level
implementations, and the pruning effort by kernel size reduction does not
suffer from the fixed-size width constraint in SIMD units of general-purpose
processors. The pruned networks can be deployed effortlessly with significant
running time reduction. We also support these claims via extensive experiments
on various CNN structures and general-purpose processors for mobile devices.
