Abstract
The memory consumption of most Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures grows rapidly with the increasing depth of the network, which is a major constraint for efficient network training and inference on modern GPUs with limited memory. Several studies show that the feature maps (as generated after the convolutional layers) are the big bottleneck in this memory problem. Often, these feature maps mimic natural photographs in the sense that their energy is concentrated in the spectral domain. In this paper, we propose a Fourier-based Orthogonal Network (FoNet) that incorporates orthogonal representations and performs both the convolution and the activation operations in the spectral domain to achieve memory reduction. The performance of our FoNet is evaluated on four standard object recognition benchmarks (i.e., MNIST, CIFAR10, SVHN, and ImageNet), and compared with four state-of-the-art implementations (i.e., LeNet, AlexNet, VGG, and DenseNet). Encouragingly, FoNet is able to reduce memory consumption by about 60% without significant loss of performance for all tested network architectures.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
