about model size

[zf6578]

Hello!

After reading your paper about Yolo, yolobile, I have a problem. The pruning method in this paper is to set the weight value of part to 0 to cut off the connection, so the size of the overall weight matrix is unchanged. The size of space storage be smaller after saving the model directly? I directly use pytorch's save function and find that the size of the model don’t changed. This problem bothers me for a long time. In the paper, it is mentioned that the sparse matrix format is used to save, but this part of the content is not found in the code. I hope you can help me, thank you!!!
