Generally, a more complex model would achive better performance in the task, but it also leads to some redundancy in the model. Model Pruning is a technique that reduces this redundancy by removing the sub-models in the neural network model, so as to reduce model calculation complexity and improve model inference performance.

## Pruning sensitivity analysis
## Pruning sensitivity analysis
After the pre-training model is loaded, sensitivity analysis is performed on each network layer of the model to understand the redundancy of each network layer, thereby determining the pruning ratio of each network layer. For specific details of sensitivity analysis, see：[Sensitivity analysis](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleSlim/blob/develop/docs/zh_cn/tutorials/image_classification_sensitivity_analysis_tutorial.md)
After the pre-training model is loaded, sensitivity analysis is performed on each network layer of the model to understand the redundancy of each network layer, and save a sensitivity file which named: sensitivities_0.data. After that, user could load the sensitivity file via the [methods provided by PaddleSlim](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleSlim/blob/develop/paddleslim/prune/sensitive.py#L221) and determining the pruning ratio of each network layer automatically. For specific details of sensitivity analysis, see：[Sensitivity analysis](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleSlim/blob/develop/docs/zh_cn/tutorials/image_classification_sensitivity_analysis_tutorial.md)
The function would return a dict after loading the sensitivity file. The keys of the dict are name of parameters in each layer. And the value of key is the information about pruning sensitivity of correspoding layer. In example, pruning 10% filter of the layer corresponding to conv10_expand_weights would lead to 0.65% degradation of model performance. The details could be seen at: [Sensitivity analysis](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleSlim/blob/develop/docs/zh_cn/algo/algo.md#2-%E5%8D%B7%E7%A7%AF%E6%A0%B8%E5%89%AA%E8%A3%81%E5%8E%9F%E7%90%86)

Generally, a more complex model would achive better performance in the task, but it also leads to some redundancy in the model. Quantization is a technique that reduces this redundancyby reducing the full precision data to a fixed number, so as to reduce model calculation complexity and improve model inference performance.
