1. A method of processing image data, comprising:
receiving input data for compression by a neural network compression system;
determining, based on the input data, a set of updated model parameters for the neural network compression system, wherein the set of updated model parameters is selected from a subspace of model parameters based on minimizing, at inference time of a rate-distortion autoencoder (RD-AE) of the neural network compression system, a combined rate-distortion-model rate (RDM) loss corresponding to a rate-distortion loss of the RD-AE at the inference time and a number of model update bits used to represent the subspace of model parameters:
generating at least one bitstream including a compressed version of the input data and a compressed version of one or more subspace coordinates that correspond to the set of updated model parameters; and
outputting the at least one bitstream for transmission to a receiver.
