A single-core-neuron framework unlocks efficient deep learning

Science China Press
Peer-Reviewed Publication

In a paper published in National Science Review, an international team of researchers introduced the one-core-neuron system (OCNS), a “small model” framework designed to tackle the inefficiency of “large models”. By utilizing a single core neuron, OCNS achieves comparable or superior performance in time-series forecasting while reducing parameter requirements to a fraction of those in existing “large models”. This approach highlights the potential of small models in efficient deep learning and more sustainable AI applications.
