Abstract(in English) This paper presents a method of compaction on DNNs. Our method includes two steps, 1) Neuro-Coding: feature the neuron behaviors by their outputs, and 2) Neuro-Unification: unify the neurons which behave similarly. While the existing pruning methods just remove the neurons or the weights, our method let another neuron succeed the behavior of the removed one. Therefore, our method can reduce the parameters while the sacrifice of inference accuracy stays small. Moreover, many of the existing methods require people to manually determine the network structure after compaction, but our method can explore an adequate structure automatically. Thus, our method could be valuable as a structural learning method.
