Efficient convolutional neural networks and techniques to reduce associated computational costs
The present disclosure provides systems and methods to reduce computational costs associated with convolutional neural networks. In addition, the present disclosure provides a class of efficient models termed “MobileNets” for mobile and embedded vision applications. MobileNets are based on a straight-forward architecture that uses depthwise separable convolutions to build light weight deep neural networks. The present disclosure further provides two global hyper-parameters that efficiently trade-off between latency and accuracy. These hyper-parameters allow the entity building the model to select the appropriately sized model for the particular application based on the constraints of the problem. MobileNets and associated computational cost reduction techniques are effective across a wide range of applications and use cases.
