Pruned Neural Networks Are Surprisingly Modular

BU Security Group Speaker: Shlomi Hod, PhD Student, Computer Science, Boston University When: Wednesday, July 1, 2020 Time: 11:00am-12:00pm ZOOM Info: https://bostonu.zoom.us/j/222968851?pwd=RTBhSnVnbDhqbnFrMWRSeVU1alYyUT09 Abstract: The learned weights of a neural network are often considered devoid of scrutable internal structure. To discern structure in these weights, we introduce a measurable notion of modularity for multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs), and investigate the […]
