Introduced by Brandon Yang et al. in CondConv: Conditionally Parameterized Convolutions for Efficient Inference

archive 2025-07-28 Description, source and code snippet are the archive's method entry.

CondConv, or Conditionally Parameterized Convolutions, are a type of convolution which learn specialized convolutional kernels for each example. In particular, we parameterize the convolutional kernels in a CondConv layer as a linear combination of n experts (α₁ W₁ + …+ αₙ Wₙ) * x, where α₁, …, αₙ are functions of the input learned through gradient descent. To efficiently increase the capacity of a CondConv layer, developers can increase the number of experts. This can be more computationally efficient than increasing the size of the convolutional kernel itself, because the convolutional kernel is applied at many different positions within the input, while the experts are combined only once per input.

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (5 dated). Bars are counts, not a trend claim.

Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
