Title
Topological optimization of the DenseNet with pretrained-weights inheritance and genetic channel selection
Abstract
•A GA training pipeline to select key input channels of DenseNet automatically.•A ’Weight inheritance’ strategy to improve efficiency whilst maintaining accuracy.•To reduce up to 30% parameters yet achieving a similar accuracy as the DenseNet.•Validated robustness/scalability on several image recognition/classification datasets.
