The invention discloses a
hybrid compression method combining knowledge
distillation and meta-gradient initialization
pruning, and relates to the field of neural
network model compression. According to the mixed
compression method combining knowledge
distillation and meta gradient initialization
pruning, firstly, in an HSD stage, a parameter
mirror image initialization strategy is designed, pre-trained teacher network parameters are frozen, a topological symmetric student network is adopted, parameter smoothness and model performance are enhanced through self-
distillation optimization, and a teacher model with better performance is obtained; and then, carrying out initialization
pruning on the untrained network by using a ProsPr (Prospect
Pruning, ProsPr) method to obtain a sparse subnet, and taking the sparse subnet as a student model of the next stage. In a knowledge distillation stage after pruning is completed, a sparse-sensing temperature
coupling (SATC) mechanism is provided,
adaptive matching of knowledge migration intensity and pruning rate is realized by dynamically adjusting distillation temperatures of a correct class and an error class of a teacher model, and the problem that the capacity difference between the teacher model and a student model is too large due to too high pruning rate is solved, so that the knowledge migration intensity and the pruning rate are greatly improved. And the knowledge distillation effect is reduced.
