What is it about?
Image classification by utilizing big neural networks is an expensive task in terms of energy consumption. in this paper, we proposed a method to use a lighter and smaller neural network whenever is possible. This decision is made based on the input image. we have shown that utilizing our method can result in significantly lower energy consumption.

Why is it important?
We have shown that not all the input images need the same amount of effort for correct classification. a small and light neural network is sufficient for many inputs whereas some other inputs need more feature extractor to be classified correctly.
