In this paper, we propose TECO, a multi-dimensional pruning framework to collaboratively prune the three dimensions (depth, width, and resolution) of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for better execution efficiency on embedded hardware. In TECO, we first introduce a two-stage importance evaluation framework, which efficiently and comprehensively evaluates each pruning unit according to both the local importance inside each dimension and the global importance across different dimensions. Based on the evaluation framework, we present a heuristic pruning algorithm to progressively prune the three dimensions of CNNs towards the optimal trade-off between accuracy and efficiency. Experiments on multiple benchmarks validate the advantages of TECO over existing state-of-the-art (SOTA) approaches. The code and pre-trained models are available at https://github.com/ntuliuteam/Teco.
Subquadratic alternatives to attention require compromises when applied to multi-dimensional data: standard convolutions lack global receptive fields and input dependency, while recurrent models require rasterizing data such as images, volumes, and partial differential equation (…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder, and early diagnosis is of great significance for delaying disease progression and enabling timely intervention. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which represents an intermediate clinical stage between cognitively no…
Symmetry is everywhere in nature and society. Geometric deep learning exploits symmetries in data to improve the performance and efficiency of deep learning systems. In this paper, we extend geometric deep learning to utilize richer symmetry structures. Specifically, we develop o…
Accurate and efficient dataset valuation is essential for enabling fair and transparent data marketplaces, especially when multiple contributors provide data for training multi-task models. Most existing valuation methods, however, are limited to single-task settings, overlooking…
3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) enables high-quality real-time novel-view synthesis, but practical scenes often contain millions of Gaussians, making compression essential for deployment on limited hardware. Existing reduction methods are effective but mostly heuristic: they provide…
Neural network misclassifications exhibit characteristic spectral instability in internal activations that is invisible at the output layer. This phenomenon is identified and formalized as Spectral Drift -- the frequency-domain distance between consecutive layer activations -- wi…
