Abstract

Deep neural networks have achieved tremendous success in many domains (e.g., computer vision, speech recognition, natural language processing, games, however, there are still many challenges in deep learning community such as how to speed up training large deep neural networks, how to compress the large neural networks for mobile/embed device without performance loss and how to automatically design the optimal network structures for a certain task.
