AI Model Optimization

Posted on by lechuck park

This image shows a diagram illustrating three major AI model optimization techniques.

1. Quantization

  • The process of converting 32-bit floating-point numbers to 8-bit integers
  • A technique that dramatically reduces model size while maintaining performance
  • Significantly decreases memory usage and computational complexity

2. Pruning

  • The process of removing less important connections or neurons from neural networks
  • Transforms complex network structures into simpler, more efficient forms
  • Reduces model size and computation while preserving core functionality

3. Distillation

  • A technique that transfers knowledge from a large model (teacher model) to a smaller model (student model)
  • Reproduces the performance of complex models in lighter, more efficient models
  • Greatly improves efficiency during deployment and execution

All three techniques are essential methods for optimizing AI models to be more efficiently used in real-world environments. They are particularly crucial technologies when deploying AI models in mobile devices or edge computing environments.

Down data

From Claude with some prompting
I can interpret the contents of this image as follows:

  1. Sampling is a method to reduce the “Down Count”, i.e., the number of data points, by extracting only a subset of the entire data.
  2. Roll Up is a method to reduce the “Down Count” by aggregating data over time units. The aggregation functions (Count, Sum, Avg, Max, Min, etc.) are included as examples to help understand the concept of Roll Up.
  3. Quantization is a method to reduce the data size (“Down Size”) by converting floating-point numbers to nearby integers.
  4. “And More…” mentions additional data reduction techniques like Sparse Data Encoding, Feature Selection, and Dimensionality Reduction.

Overall, the image effectively explains how Sampling and Roll Up reduce the number of data points (“Down Count”), while Quantization reduces the data size (“Down Size”).
