Medium GrooveSquid.com (original content) Medium Difficulty Summary
The proposed paper investigates the phenomenon where pruning neural networks to a certain level of sparsity improves feature quality. The authors demonstrate that a broad class of statistical models can be optimally learned using pruned neural networks trained with gradient descent, in high-dimensional spaces.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
Pruning neural networks to improve feature quality is a common practice, but it’s unclear why this works. This paper explores the idea that certain types of statistical models can be optimized using pruned neural networks and gradient descent, even when dealing with large amounts of data.
