Abstract(in English) Deep neural networks (DNNs) have achieved advanced results on different vision tasks. However, the cost of high computational complexity is not practical for real-time inferences running on mobile devices. In this paper, we propose an attribution-based pruning method for object detection network that reduce the computation while ensuring accuracy. First, Channel mask and spatial mask are designed to generalize attribution methods to detection networks for detecting convolution kernels that are firmly correlated with target output. Then, YOLOv3-tiny network is pruned using attribution maps and finetuned on an open-sourced mango dataset for evaluation. Compared to a state-of-the-art network trained with the same mango dataset, the experiment shows that our network achieves 83.4% computation reduction with only about 2.4% loss in accuracy.
