Abstract

Systems and methods herein describe an image compression system. The image compression system generates a first generative adversarial network (GAN), identifies a threshold, based on the threshold, generates a second GAN by pruning channels of the first GAN, trains the second GAN using similarity-based knowledge distillation from the first GAN, and stores the trained second GAN.
