SynFlow: data-free iterative pruning with conserved synaptic-flow scores

Derived saliency conservation relations for homogeneous feedforward networks and used positive flow scores with iterative pruning to reduce premature whole-layer collapse without training data.

What is recorded here?

Derived saliency conservation relations for homogeneous feedforward networks and used positive flow scores with iterative pruning to reduce premature whole-layer collapse without training data.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

Conservation assumes the stated homogeneous feedforward setting. The maximal-critical-compression theorem requires positive conservative scores re-evaluated for every removal; practical finite batches of pruning are not automatically the same theorem. Avoiding an empty layer is not a theorem of useful accuracy, connected information flow in arbitrary architectures or hardware speedup. Empirical finite schedules are reported separately.
