clcNet: Improving the Efficiency of Convolutional Neural Network using Channel Local Convolutions
Depthwise convolution and grouped convolution has been successfully applied
to improve the efficiency of convolutional neural network (CNN). We suggest
that these models can be considered as special cases of a generalized
convolution operation, named channel local convolution(CLC), where an output
channel is computed using a subset of the input channels. This definition
entails computation dependency relations between input and output channels,
which can be represented by a channel dependency graph(CDG). By modifying the
CDG of grouped convolution, a new CLC kernel named interlaced grouped
convolution (IGC) is created. Stacking IGC and GC kernels results in a
convolution block (named CLC Block) for approximating regular convolution. By
resorting to the CDG as an analysis tool, we derive the rule for setting the
meta-parameters of IGC and GC and the framework for minimizing the
computational cost. A new CNN model named clcNet is then constructed using CLC
blocks, which shows significantly higher computational efficiency and fewer
parameters compared to state-of-the-art networks, when being tested using the
ImageNet-1K dataset. Source code is available at

The decays in the pQCD approach beyond the leading-order
Two body meson decays involving the radially excited meson
in the final states are studied by using the perturbative
QCD (pQCD) approach. We find that: (a) The branching ratios for the decays
involving meson are predicted as
, which are
consistent well with the present data when including the next-to-leading-order
(NLO) effects. Here the NLO effects are from the vertex corrections and the NLO
Wilson coefficients. The large errors in the decay are
mainly induced by using the decay constant
GeV with large uncertainties. (b)
While there seems to be some room left for other higher order corrections or
the non-perturbative long distance contributions in the decays involving
meson, , which are smaller
than the present data. The results for other decays can be tested at the
running LHCb and forthcoming Super-B experiments. (c) There is no obvious
evidence of the direct CP violation being seen in the decays in the present experiments, which is
supported by our calculations. If a few percent value is confirmed in the
future , it would indicate new physics definitely.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with
