    Efficient Intelligence Towards Real-Time Precision Medicine With Systematic Pruning and Quantization
    (2024-08) Karunakaran, Maneesh; Zhang, Qingxue; King, Brian; Maher, Rizkalla E.
    The widespread adoption of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in real-world applications, particularly on resource-constrained devices, is hindered by their computational complexity and memory requirements. This research investigates the application of pruning and quantization techniques to optimize CNNs for arrhythmia classification using the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database. By combining magnitude-based pruning, regularization-based pruning, filter map-based pruning, and quantization at different bit-widths (4-bit, 8-bit, 2-bit, and 1-bit), the study aims to develop a more compact and efficient CNN model while maintaining high accuracy. The experimental results demonstrate that these techniques effectively reduce model size, improve inference speed, and maintain accuracy, adapting them for use on devices with limited resources. The findings highlight the potential of these optimization techniques for real-time applications in mobile health monitoring and edge computing, paving the way for broader adoption of deep learning in resource-limited environments.
