Abstract

We propose a framework for Class-aware Personalized Neural Network Inference (CAP’NN), which prunes an already-trained neural network model based on the preferences of individual users. Specifically, by adapting to the subset of output classes that each user is expected to encounter, CAP’NN is able to prune not only ineffectual neurons but also miseffectual neurons that confuse classification, without the need to retrain the network. CAP’NN also exploits the similarities among pruning requests from different users to minimize the timing overheads of pruning the network. To achieve this, we propose a clustering algorithm that groups similar classes in the network based on the firing rates of neurons for each class and then implement a lightweight cache architecture to store and reuse information from previously pruned networks. In our experiments with VGG-16, AlexNet, and ResNet-152 networks, CAP’NN achieves, on average, up to 47% model size reduction while actually improving the top-1(5) classification accuracy by up to 3.9%(3.4%) when the user only encounters a subset of the trained classes in these networks.
