Transfer Learning for Structured Pruning under Limited Task Data

Machine Learning Research at Apple

This paper was accepted at the Efficient Natural Language and Speech Processing (ENLSP-III) Workshop at NeurIPS. Large, pre-trained models are problematic to use in resource constrained applications. Fortunately, task-aware structured pruning methods offer a solution. These approaches reduce model size by dropping structural units like layers and attention heads in a manner that takes into account the end-task.
