After a few iterations of pruning, you get a model that is much smaller than its original size. Finally, you need to transform the pruned model, which has many zero channels, to a normal model.
Run the following command to transform model.
./vai_p_darknet pruner transform pruning/cfg backup/*_final.weightsNote: The transformation is only required after all iterations of pruning have been
completed and you do not need to run the transform command between each iteration of
pruning.
If you want to know the compression ratio or how many operations are in the
pruned network, use the stat command.
./vai_p_darknet pruner stat model-transform.cfgThe command outputs the following.
