Problems solved by technology

Although the existing fine-grained parameter sparse method model performs well, it is not friendly to hardware memory access, that is, the on-chip and off-chip input / output overhead is large, and the performance is low; on the other hand, the structured sparse method based on channels and convolution kernels Although the method improves the hardware performance, the loss of model accuracy is large; finally, most of the existing sparse algorithms are offline fine-tuning, that is, the pre-training model is sparse and then fine-tuned. The offline fine-tuning method has many restrictions and cannot be used in model training There are more substantial performance gains

Embodiment approach 1301

[0106] Embodiment 1301 only has a mask adjustment stage. Both the parameter initial value W0 and the mask tensor initial value M0 are randomly generated by the random generation module 61, or the mask tensor initial value M0 is determined based on the parameter initial value W0, and the training parameters are updated at the same time. Mask matrix to obtain the trained parameters Wf and the updated mask tensor Mf.

Embodiment approach 1302

[0107] Embodiment 1302 has only an unmasked phase and a masked adjustment phase. In the unmasked stage, only the parameters are trained, and the parameter initial value W0 is randomly generated by the random generation module 61, and the updated parameter W1 is obtained after training. In the mask adjustment stage, the training parameters update the mask matrix at the same time. The initial value of the parameter in this stage is the updated parameter W1, and the initial value M0 of the mask tensor is randomly generated by the random generation module 61, or the updated parameter W1 is used to generate Obtain the initial value M0 of the mask tensor, and finally obtain the trained parameter Wf and the updated mask tensor Mf.

Embodiment approach 1303

[0108] Embodiment 1303 only has a mask adjustment phase and a mask fixation phase. In the mask adjustment stage, the parameter initial value W0 and the mask tensor initial value M0 are randomly generated by the random generation module 61, or the mask tensor initial value M0 is determined based on the parameter initial value W0, and the training parameters update the mask matrix at the same time, To obtain the updated parameter W1 and the updated mask tensor Mf. In the mask fixing stage, the training is continued with the updated mask tensor Mf mask parameters. The initial value of the parameters in this stage is the updated parameter W1, and finally the trained parameter Wf is obtained.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to the field of neural networks. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a device, a board, a method and a readable storage medium for sparse training of a neural network model. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of deep learning, the performance of algorithms in a series of fields such as computer vision and natural language processing has made leaps and bounds. However, the deep learning algorithm is a computing-intensive and storage-intensive tool. With the increasing complexity of information processing tasks, the requirements for real-time and accuracy of the algorithm continue to increase, and the neural network is often designed deeper and deeper, making Its computing power and storage space requirements are increasing, making it difficult for existing artificial intelligence technology based on deep learning to be directly applied to mobile phones, sat...
