STRUCTURED CONVOLUTIONS AND ASSOCIATED ACCELERATION

Abstract:

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for performing machine learning, including generating a set of basis masks for a convolution layer of a machine learning model, wherein each basis mask comprises a binary mask; determining a set of scaling factors, wherein each scaling factor of the set of scaling factors corresponds to a basis mask in the set of basis masks; generating a composite kernel based on the set of basis masks and the set of scaling factors; and performing a convolution operation based on the composite kernel.
