• Abstract: Accelerating deep neural network (DNN) inference on resource-limited devices is one of the most important barriers to ensuring a wider and more inclusive adoption. To alleviate this, DNN binary quantization for faster convolution and memory savings is one of the most promising strategies despite its serious drop in accuracy. The present paper therefore proposes a novel binary quantization function based on quantized compressed sensing (QCS). Theoretical arguments conjecture that our proposal preserves the practical benefits of standard methods, while reducing the quantization error and the resulting drop in accuracy.

  Uniform-precision neural network quantization has gained popularity since it simplifies densely packed arithmetic unit for high computing capability. It ignores heterogeneous sensitivity to the impact of quantization errors across the layers, resulting in sub-optimal inference. This work proposes a novel neural architecture search called neural channel expansion that adjusts the network structure to alleviate accuracy degradation from ultra-low uniform-precision quantization.

  Quantization neural networks (QNNs) are very attractive to the industry because their extremely cheap calculation and storage overhead, but their performance is still worse than that of networks with full-precision parameters. Most of existing methods aim to enhance performance of QNNs especially binary neural networks by exploiting more effective training techniques. We address this problem by projecting features in original full-precision networks to high-dimensional quantization features.
