Abstract(in English) Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have achieved high accuracy in areas such as image classification and object detection. However, large-scale CNN models contain a lot of redundant parameters, which leads to poor generalization performance and overtraining. Alvarez et al. and Scardapane et al. applied sparse group LASSO, which is a combination of group-wise L2 regularization and element-wise L1 regularization, to various architectures. They obtained compressed networks with the same or better accuracy. Kevin et al. proposed sparse-group LASSO L0, in which the L1 regularization term of sparse-group LASSO is replaced by an L0 regularization term. In this study, we propose a hybrid sparsification method that combines sparse-group LASSO and sparse-group LASSO L0, and try to achieve higher sparsity than the conventional method while maintaining the accuracy of CNN.
