This paper proposes a novel algorithm for condensation-based neural network reduction, which leverages the phenomenon of neurons in the same layer behaving similarly under strong non-linearity. By applying this algorithm, researchers can reduce the scale of neural networks while maintaining their performance. The authors demonstrate the effectiveness of their method on various tasks, including complex combustion acceleration and CIFAR10 image classification, achieving significant reductions in network size (up to 41.7% and 11.5%, respectively) with minimal loss in accuracy.

This paper takes a big step forward in making neural networks more efficient for scientific applications. Neural networks are great at solving problems, but they can be slow and take up a lot of computer power. The researchers found that by reducing the size of the network, it can still do its job well while using less power. They tested this idea on some tricky problems, like predicting how fast something will burn or recognizing pictures of animals. The results show that their new method works really well and could help make computers work faster and more efficiently in the future.
