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
