Content-Aware Dynamic Patchification for Efficient Video Diffusion

CVPR 2026

Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) achieve strong video generation performance but suffer from prohibitive computation cost due to dense spatiotemporal tokenization. Most existing works rely on uniform patchification, tokenizing non-overlapping spatiotemporal with a fixed patch size regardless of the und

ToMoE: Converting Dense Large Language Models to Mixture-of-Experts through Dynamic Structural Pruning

ICML 2026poster

Large Language Models (LLMs) demonstrate remarkable capabilities but face deployment challenges due to their high computational demands. Traditional pruning methods reduce these costs by permanently removing parameters, which inevitably leads to performance degradation. To mitigate this issue, we pr…

Not All Prompts Are Made Equal: Prompt-based Pruning of Text-to-Image Diffusion Models

ICLR 2025poster

Text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models have demonstrated impressive image generation capabilities. Still, their computational intensity prohibits resource-constrained organizations from deploying T2I models after fine-tuning them on their internal *target* data. While pruning techniques offer a potent…

Compressing Image-to-Image Translation GANs Using Local Density Structures on Their Learned Manifold

AAAI 2024technical

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have shown remarkable success in modeling complex data distributions for image-to-image translation. Still, their high computational demands prohibit their deployment in practical scenarios like edge devices. Existing GAN compression methods mainly rely on know…

Jointly Training and Pruning CNNs via Learnable Agent Guidance and Alignment

CVPR 2024poster

Structural model pruning is a prominent approach used for reducing the computational cost of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) before their deployment on resource-constrained devices. Yet the majority of proposed ideas require a pretrained model before pruning which is costly to secure. In this p…

EffConv: Efficient Learning of Kernel Sizes for Convolution Layers of CNNs

AAAI 2023technical

Determining kernel sizes of a CNN model is a crucial and non-trivial design choice and significantly impacts its performance. The majority of kernel size design methods rely on complex heuristic tricks or leverage neural architecture search that requires extreme computational resources. Thus, learni…

Interpretations Steered Network Pruning via Amortized Inferred Saliency Maps

ECCV 2022poster

"Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) compression is crucial to deploying these models in edge devices with limited resources. Existing channel pruning algorithms for CNNs have achieved plenty of success on complex models. They approach the pruning problem from various perspectives and use different…
