Tailor: Altering Skip Connections for Resource-Efficient Inference

no code implementations18 Jan 2023 Olivia Weng, Gabriel Marcano, Vladimir Loncar, Alireza Khodamoradi, Nojan Sheybani, Andres Meza, Farinaz Koushanfar, Kristof Denolf, Javier Mauricio Duarte, Ryan Kastner

We argue that while a network's skip connections are needed for the network to learn, they can later be removed or shortened to provide a more hardware efficient implementation with minimal to no accuracy loss.

Hardware-efficient Residual Networks for FPGAs

no code implementations2 Feb 2021 Olivia Weng, Alireza Khodamoradi, Ryan Kastner

Residual networks (ResNets) employ skip connections in their networks -- reusing activations from previous layers -- to improve training convergence, but these skip connections create challenges for hardware implementations of ResNets.
