However, the modality to be followed when checking the pruning criterion is not generally described in detail. In our opinion, two main pruning modalities can be envisaged and in this paper we discuss their impact on the performance of pruning. Moreover, we introduce a third modality, which we regard as able to provide a more satisfactory pruning performance.
