This paper introduces a filter level pruning method based on similar feature extraction for compressing and accelerating the convolutional neural networks by k-means++ algorithm. In contrast to other pruning methods, the proposed method would analyze the similarities in recognizing features among filters rather than evaluate the importance of filters to prune the redundant ones. This strategy would be more reasonable and effective. Furthermore, our method does not result in unstructured network. As a result, it needs not extra sparse representation and could be efficiently supported by any off-the-shelf deep learning libraries. Experimental results show that our filter pruning method could reduce the number of parameters and the amount of computational costs in Lenet-5 by a factor of 17.9× with only 0.3% accuracy loss.
