The convolution kernels of the group are similar to one another. A base convolution kernel for the group may be determined. Scaling factors for a plurality of input feature maps processed by the group may be calculated. The convolution stage of the neural network may be modified to calculate a composite input feature map using the scaling factors and apply the base convolution kernel to the composite input feature map.
