Title

Consider Graph Substitution

Description

In the context of deep neural networks (DNN), graph substitution refers to replacing a large model with a smaller one that performs a similar task. Energy-aware graph substitution, however, means replacing energy-intensive nodes of deep neural networks with less energy-consuming nodes (Wang et al 2020).
