PriCod: Prioritizing Test Inputs for Compressed Deep Neural Networks
Yinghua Li, Xueqi Dang, Jacques Klein, Yves Le Traon, Tegawendé F. Bissyandé
The widespread adoption of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) has brought remarkable advances in machine learning. However, the computational and memory demands of complex DNNs hinder their deployment in resource-constrained environments. To address this challenge, compressed DNN models have emerged, offering a compromise between efficiency and accur(...)
