—Neural networks (NNs) have been driving machine learning progress in recent years, but their larger models present challenges in resource-limited environments. Weight pruning reduces the computational demand, often with performance degradation and long training procedures. This work introduces distilled gradual pruning with pruned fine-tuning (DG2PF), a comprehensive algorithm that iteratively prunes pretrained NNs using knowledge distillation. We employ a magnitude-based unstructured pruning function that selectively removes a specified proportion of unimportant weights from the network. This function also leads to an efficient compression of the model size while minimizing classification accuracy loss. Additionally, we introduce a simulated pruning strategy with the same effects of weight recovery but while maintaining stable convergence. Furthermore, we propose a multistep self-knowledge distillation strategy to effectively transfer the knowledge of the full, unpruned network to the pruned counterpart. We validate the performance of our algorithm through extensive experimentation on diverse benchmark datasets, including CIFAR-10 and ImageNet, as well as a set of model architectures. The results highlight how our algorithm prunes and optimizes pretrained NNs without substantially degrading their classification accuracy while delivering significantly faster and more compact models. Impact Statement—In recent times, NNs have demonstrated remarkable outcomes in various tasks. Some of the most advanced possess billions of trainable parameters, making their training and inference both energy intensive and costly. As a result, the focus on pruning is growing in response to the escalating demand for NNs. However, most current pruning techniques involve training a model from scratch or with a lengthy training process leading to a significant increase in carbon footprint, and some experience a notable drop in performance. In this article, we introduce DG2PF. This unstruct
