The architecture was proposed by Iandola et al. in 2017 for use in autonomous cars. As the baseline, researchers took the AlexNet architecture. This network takes 240 MB of memory, which is pretty much the equivalent of mobile devices. SqueezeNet has 50x fewer parameters, and achieves the same level of accuracy on the ImageNet dataset. Using additional compression, its size can be reduced to about 0.5 MB.
SqueezeNet is built from the fire modules. The objective was to create a neural network with a small number of parameters, but preserving the competitive level of accuracy. It was done with the following approaches:
