3. 基于BN层缩放因子的通道剪枝
任务目标
在边缘设备部署CNN模型时，通道剪枝可显著减少计算量与模型体积。本案例以ResNet-18在CIFAR-10上的分类任务为例，利用BN层缩放因子γ作为通道重要性指标，实现通道级剪枝，并对比不同剪枝比例（30%、50%、70%）对模型参数量与准确率的影响。
核心原理
BN层对每个通道执行 y = γ * (x - μ) / √(σ² + ε) + β，其中γ（缩放因子）的值大小反映了该通道对输出的贡献程度。训练时对γ施加L1稀疏正则，使不重要通道的γ趋近于0，随后按γ值排序剪除低贡献通道，最后微调恢复精度。

python channel_pruning.py验证方法与判定标准
- 训练收敛验证：训练5个epoch后，原始模型在CIFAR-10测试集上准确率应达到70%以上（若未达到，可增加epoch至10或调大学习率）。
- 剪枝有效性验证：程序会打印每个剪枝比例下的参数量减少百分比。30%剪枝应减少约25-35%参数，70%剪枝应减少约60-75%参数。
- 精度保持验证：剪枝后经3个epoch微调，30%剪枝比例下准确率下降应小于2%；50%剪枝下降应小于5%；70%剪枝下降可能超过10%，属正常现象。
- 通道稀疏性验证：训练完成后，可打印BN层γ值分布，应观察到大量接近0的γ值（稀疏正则生效）。

剪枝+微调后准确率: 68.12%常见问题
- 剪枝后模型无法前向传播：ResNet的残差连接要求输入输出通道一致。若剪枝导致shortcut维度不匹配，需对shortcut中的1x1卷积同步剪枝。本实现中ResNet-18的basic block在通道变化处有downsample层，需额外处理。
- γ值不够稀疏：增大lambda_reg至1e-3或增加训练epoch，可增强稀疏效果。
- 剪枝比例过高导致精度骤降：建议从30%开始逐步尝试，并增加微调epoch数（如10个epoch）以恢复精度。
