The question about running time #4

Hi, this is a nice work. I want to know if it will increase the training time and inference time obviously by using the multi-path way to extract the features. In addition, I want to know how much more time it will cost than one-path way. Because I use the other multi-path way, it will cost too many time whether in training phase or testing phase. Thank you!

Thank you for your attention! We do not compare the inference time between the multi-path method and the single-path method, but only compare the time of the whole LFFN with other mehtods in our paper. However, in my opinion, the multi-path way has the disadvantage of unfriendly memory access according to ShuffleNet-V2 [1], so it may take more time. [1] Ma N, Zhang X, Zheng H T, et al.
