- July 2018: “AMC: AutoML for Model Compression and Acceleration on Mobile Devices” accepted by ECCV’18. This paper use AI to do model compression, rather than rely on human heuristics to do it. AMC can automate the model compression process, achieve better compression ratio, and also be more sample efficient. It takes shorter time can do better than rule-based heuristics.
