The pretrained alexnet provided in the links are ~450 MB. Is this because of Lua storing the network in an unoptimized manner. The paper mentions network size of 7.5 MB on Fig 4. Thanks for clarifying.

These are not compacted version. Here we use a float for a single bit. LUA and Torch does not support bit operations.
