Clever Compression of Some Neural Nets Improves Performance

Cars That Think

As neural networks grow larger, they become more powerful, but also more power-hungry, gobbling electricity, time, and computer memory. Somehow it builds internal representations of the data that it can take in different directions. Researchers have explored ways to lighten the load, especially for deployment on mobile devices.
