Claim 0:
1. A neural network system implemented by one or more computers, wherein the neural network system is configured to receive a network input and to generate a network output for the network input, and wherein the neural network system comprises:
a separable convolution subnetwork comprising a stack of a plurality of separable convolutional neural network layers, wherein each separable convolutional neural network layer is configured to:
separately apply both a depthwise convolution and a pointwise convolution during processing of an input to the separable convolutional neural network layer to generate a layer output,

wherein the depthwise convolution comprises a spatial convolution applied independently to each component of a plurality of components of the input, and the pointwise convolution comprises a 1×1 convolution.
