Pruning neural networks using Bayesian inference

https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.02451

* neural network (NN) pruning highly effective at reducing computational & memory demands of large NN

* novel approach utilizing Bayesian inference; seamlessly integrates into training procedure

* leverages the posterior probabilities of NN prior to/following pruning, enabling calculation of Bayes factors

* achieves sparsity maintains accuracy
