The primary subfields dominated by large-scale vision models include semantic segmentation, object detection, and image classification3. These models have shown exceptional performance but often require significant computational resources, making them challenging to deploy in real-world applications3.
State-of-the-art models excel in tasks such as semantic segmentation, object detection, and image classification. They demonstrate stunning performance but often require significant computational costs, making them less suitable for real-world applications. To address this, techniques like model pruning and knowledge distillation are employed to reduce model size and improve efficiency while maintaining accuracy.
The main focus of the Google Research Team's study is to reduce large computer vision models to smaller, more efficient architectures while maintaining accuracy, using techniques such as model pruning and knowledge distillation.
