APP: Anytime Progressive Pruning
Tianlong Chen

With the latest advances in deep learning, several methods have been investigated for optimal learning settings in scenarios where the data … (see more)stream is continuous over time. However, training sparse networks in such settings has often been overlooked. In this paper, we explore the problem of training a neural network with a target sparsity in a particular case of online learning: the anytime learning at macroscale paradigm (ALMA). We propose a novel way of progressive pruning, referred to as \textit{Anytime Progressive Pruning} (APP); the proposed approach significantly outperforms the baseline dense and Anytime OSP models across multiple architectures and datasets under short, moderate, and long-sequence training. Our method, for example, shows an improvement in accuracy of
