RMNv2: Reduced Mobilenet V2 for CIFAR10

In this paper, we developed a new architecture called Reduced Mobilenet V2 (RMNv2) for CIFAR10 dataset. The baseline architecture of our network is Mobilenet V2. RMNv2 is architecturally modified version of Mobilenet V2. The proposed model has a total number of parameters of 1.06M which is 52.2% lesser than the baseline model. The overall accuracy of RMNv2 for CIFAR10 dataset is 92.4% which is 1.9% lesser than the baseline model. The architectural modifications involve heterogeneous kernel-based convolutions, mish activation, etc. Also, we include a data augmentation technique called AutoAugment that contributes to increasing accuracy of our model. This architectural modification makes the model suitable for resource-constrained devices like embedded devices, mobile devices deployment for real-time applications like autonomous vehicles, object recognition, etc.
