Introduction
MMRazor is a model compression toolkit for model slimming and AutoML, which includes 3 mainstream technologies:
- Neural Architecture Search (NAS)
- Pruning
- Knowledge Distillation (KD)
- Quantization (in the next release)
It is a part of the OpenMMLab project.
Major features:
-
Compatibility
MMRazor can be easily applied to various projects in OpenMMLab, due to the similar architecture design of OpenMMLab as well as the decoupling of slimming algorithms and vision tasks.
-
Flexibility
Different algorithms, e.g., NAS, pruning and KD, can be incorporated in a plug-n-play manner to build a more powerful system.
-
Convenience
With better modular design, developers can implement new model compression algorithms with only a few codes, or even by simply modifying config files.
Below is an overview of MMRazor's design and implementation, please refer to tutorials for more details.
What's new
MMRazor v0.3.1 was released in 5/4/2022.
