Small Deep Neural Networks - Their Advantages, and Their Design

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have led to significant improvements to the accuracy of machine-learning applications. For many problems, such as object classification and object detection, DNNs have led to levels of accuracy that are acceptable for commercial applications. In other words, thanks to DNNs, an ever-growing range of ML-enabled applications are now ready to be put into commercial use. However, the next hurdle is that many DNN-enabled applications can only achieve their highest value when they are deployed on smartphones or other small, low-wattage, embedded hardware. When deploying DNNs on embedded hardware, there are a number of reasons why small DNN models (i.e. models with few parameters) are either required or strongly recommended. These reasons include:...
