 # Model Compression with NNI
 As larger neural networks with more layers and nodes are considered, reducing their storage and computational cost becomes critical, especially for some real-time applications. Model compression can be used to address this problem. 
 
-We are glad to announce the alpha release for model compression toolkit on top of NNI, it's still in the experiment phase which might evolve based on usage feedback. We'd like to invite you to use, feedback and even contribute.

 NNI provides an easy-to-use toolkit to help user design and use compression algorithms. It currently supports PyTorch with unified interface. For users to compress their models, they only need to add several lines in their code. There are some popular model compression algorithms built-in in NNI. Users could further use NNI's auto tuning power to find the best compressed model, which is detailed in [Auto Model Compression](./AutoCompression.md). On the other hand, users could easily customize their new compression algorithms using NNI's interface, refer to the tutorial [here](#customize-new-compression-algorithms).

+Auto tuning is one of the key features provided by NNI, a main application scenario is
+hyper-parameter tuning. Trial code is the one to be tuned, we provide a lot of popular
+auto tuning algorithms (called Tuner), and some early stop algorithms (called Assessor).
+NNI supports running trial on various training platforms, for example, on a local machine,
+on several servers in a distributed manner, or on platforms such as OpenPAI, Kubernetes.
+
+Other key features of NNI, such as model compression, feature engineering, can also be further
+enhanced by auto tuning, which is described when introduing those features.
+
+NNI has high extensibility, advanced users could customized their own Tuner, Assessor, and Training Service
+according to their needs.

 Automatic neural architecture search is taking an increasingly important role on finding better models.
-Recent research works have proved the feasibility of automatic NAS, and also found some models that could beat manually designed and tuned models.
-Some of representative works are NASNet, ENAS, DARTS, Network Morphism, and Evolution. There are new innovations keeping emerging.

+However, it takes great efforts to implement NAS algorithms, and it is hard to reuse code base of existing algorithms in a new one.
 To facilitate NAS innovations (e.g., design and implement new NAS models, compare different NAS models side-by-side),
 an easy-to-use and flexible programming interface is crucial.
 
-With this motivation, our ambition is to provide a unified architecture in NNI,
+Therefore, we provide a unified interface for NAS,
 to accelerate innovations on NAS, and apply state-of-art algorithms on real world problems faster.
