+# Prune Pretrained Models
+
+## Method 1 (preferred)
+
+Define additional models at `tools/util/model_provider.py`. Provide a checkpoint file and reference it using the `--ckpt_load_path` argument when using scripts (see `scripts/search_p_custom_checkpoint.sh`).
+The checkpoint is typically saved using `torch.save(model.state_dict(), PATH)` and contains only the network weights.
+
+## Method 2
+
+Provide a pretrained model and reference it using the `--model` argument when using scripts (see `scripts/search_p_custom_model.sh`).
+The model is typically saved using `torch.save(model, PATH)` and contains the whole model.
+
+## Retrain
+
+Do not forget to retrain your model after pruning using the `scripts/retrain.sh` script. Specify the model using the `--model` argument, the checkpoint using the `--ckpt_load_path` argument and the pruning policy generated during the pruning search using the `--policy` argument.
+
+## Reward function
+
+Multiple reward functions can be specified using e.g the `reward=r6` argument for the R6 reward. For more details, take a look at the definitions at `runtime/agent/reward.py` and the script at `scripts/search_p.sh`.
+
+Specify the `reward_target_cost_ratio=<n>` as a target for model-complexity. A value of 0.25 means, that the algorithm should reduce the model-complexity to 25% of the original model-complexity.
 
+For the reward functions, the beta value can be defined using e.g. the`r6_beta=<n>` argument in case of the R6 reward. A beta value of -5 puts more emphasis on complexity reduction, a value of -1 puts more emphasis on accuracy.
 
+## Dataset
 
+Currently only cifar10 and imagenet are supported as datasets. More datasets can be added at `runtime/data/data_provider.py`.
