自适应子网络剪枝：为异构数据路由彩票
RL问题设定
虽然本文主要讨论神经网络剪枝，但我们可以将其重构为一个强化学习问题：动态网络路由问题。在这个设定中：
- 状态（State）：输入样本的特征表示和当前激活的子网络状态
- 动作（Action）：选择哪个专用子网络（adaptive ticket）来处理当前输入
- 奖励（Reward）：分类准确率、推理效率的综合指标
- 转移（Transition）：确定性转移，由路由器决定下一个状态
这是一个contextual bandit问题的扩展，属于on-policy学习范式。与传统剪枝（寻找单一通用子网络）不同，我们的目标是学习一个路由策略，为不同数据分布动态分配最优子网络。这种方法与Mixture of Experts (MoE)和Neural Architecture Search (NAS)有密切联系，但更关注参数效率。
算法原理
核心思想
传统的彩票假说（Lottery Ticket Hypothesis）认为：大型网络中存在稀疏子网络，可以单独训练达到原网络性能。但现实数据具有异构性——不同类别、语义簇或环境条件需要不同的特征提取路径。
Routing the Lottery (RTL) 的创新点：
- 多票机制：发现K个专用子网络（adaptive tickets），每个针对特定数据子集
- 动态路由：训练轻量级路由器，根据输入特征选择最优子网络
- 联合优化：同时学习掩码（masks）、路由策略和网络权重
数学推导
设原始网络为 $f_\theta$，我们寻找K个二值掩码 ${m_1, m_2, …, m_K}$ 和路由函数 $r_\phi$：
\[\hat{y} = f_{\theta \odot m_{r_\phi(x)}}(x)\]其中 $\odot$ 表示逐元素乘法。优化目标：
\[\min_{\theta, \{m_k\}, \phi} \mathbb{E}_{(x,y)\sim\mathcal{D}} \left[ \mathcal{L}(f_{\theta \odot m_{r_\phi(x)}}(x), y) \right] + \lambda \sum_{k=1}^K ||m_k||_0\]第一项是任务损失，第二项是稀疏性正则化。
算法伪代码
输入: 数据集D, 网络f, 子网络数K, 稀疏度p
输出: 掩码集{m_k}, 路由器r
1. 初始化: 随机初始化K个掩码, 训练路由器
2. For epoch = 1 to T:
3. # 阶段1: 固定掩码，训练路由器和权重
4. For batch in D:
5. k = r(x) # 路由决策
6. loss = L(f(x; θ⊙m_k), y) + entropy(r(x))
7. 更新θ和φ
8. # 阶段2: 固定路由，优化掩码
9. For k = 1 to K:
10. 计算子网络k的梯度重要性
11. 保留top-(1-p)%的权重
12. 更新m_k
13. # 检测子网络崩溃
14. 计算子网络相似度score
15. If score > threshold: 重新初始化某些掩码
实现：简单环境
环境定义
我们使用CIFAR-10作为演示环境，它包含10个类别，天然具有数据异构性。

- 子网络数量：K=3-5时性能最佳，过多导致训练不稳定
- 稀疏度：70-80%时达到最佳平衡，>90%出现性能断崖
- 温度衰减：从1.0衰减到0.5效果最好

总结
算法适用场景
RTL特别适合以下场景：
- 数据异构性强：多中心医学数据、多环境机器人、多语言NLP
- 资源受限部署：需要模型压缩但不能牺牲太多性能
- 持续学习：新任务可以添加新子网络而不影响旧任务
- 可解释性需求：子网络专业化提供了模型决策的可解释性
优缺点分析
优点：
- ✅ 比单一剪枝模型性能更好（特别是平衡准确率）
- ✅ 比独立训练多个模型参数少10倍
- ✅ 语义对齐：子网络自动学习数据簇
- ✅ 可扩展：可以动态添加新子网络
缺点：
- ❌ 训练复杂度高于单一剪枝
- ❌ 需要调节更多超参数（K、稀疏度、温度）
- ❌ 路由器增加了推理开销（虽然很小）
- ❌ 可能出现子网络崩溃问题
