EmptyLayerError() or UnBalancedGroupError() during pruning depthwise separable convolution

Describe the issue: Errors when pruning depthwise separable convolution

when ‘total_sparsity’ has different value , it may encounter error as follows:

1. EmptyLayerError

    raise EmptyLayerError()
nni.compression.pytorch.speedup.error_code.EmptyLayerError: Pruning a Layer to empty is not legal

1. UnBalancedGroupError

    raise UnBalancedGroupError()
nni.compression.pytorch.speedup.error_code.UnBalancedGroupError: The number remained filters in each group is different

#4648 and #4796 seems solve the error, but it doesn’t work in my code.

How can i solve it? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Environment:

• NNI version: 2.8
• Training service (local|remote|pai|aml|etc):
• Client OS: ubuntu 18.04
• Server OS (for remote mode only):
• Python version: 3.8
• PyTorch/TensorFlow version: pytorch=1.10.1
• Is conda/virtualenv/venv used?: conda
• Is running in Docker?: no

How to reproduce it?:

import torch
from nni.compression.pytorch.pruning import L1NormPruner, L2NormPruner
from nni.compression.pytorch.speedup import ModelSpeedup
from torch import nn

model = nn.Sequential(
    nn.Conv2d(128, 128, (3, 3), (1, 1), 1, groups=128, bias=False),
    nn.BatchNorm2d(128),
    nn.ReLU(inplace=True),
)

config_list = [{'total_sparsity': 0.6, 'op_types': ['Conv2d']}]

dummy_input = torch.rand(5, 128, 256, 256)
pruner = L2NormPruner(model, config_list, mode='dependency_aware', dummy_input=dummy_input)
_, masks = pruner.compress()
pruner._unwrap_model()
ModelSpeedup(model, dummy_input, masks).speedup_model()

print(model)

reproduced the bug. need some time to fix it

Hi, any progress in this ? @Louis-J

Hello @nnzs9248 , could you give us a demo to reproduce your issue? so that we could make sure they are the same issue.
