    Abstract

    As the convolutional neural network becomes complex and datasets become huge, a lot of time is spent training the network. In this paper, we propose to mitigate this phenomenon with a mini-batch skipping strategy based on an arithmetic mean of confidence score of images. By skipping the unimportant mini-batch on the training phase, the mini-batch skipping provides saving a lot of time on backpropagation and weight update. We empirically demonstrate the effectiveness of our method with Resnet-18, Resnet-50, and mobilenet-v2 on Cifar-10 and Cifar-100. For Res-net-50, mini-batch skipping gives a 1.39x speedup in training operation without significant accuracy drop.
