• Abstract summary: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have made significant advances in computer vision tasks, yet their high inference times and latency limit real-world applicability. We introduce QIANets: a novel approach of redesigning the traditional GoogLeNet, DenseNet, and ResNet-18 model architectures to process more parameters and computations whilst maintaining low inference times. Despite experimental limitations, the method was tested and evaluated, demonstrating reductions in inference times, along with effective accuracy preservations.

• Abstract: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have made significant advances in computer vision tasks, yet their high inference times and latency often limit real-world applicability. While model compression techniques have gained popularity as solutions, they often overlook the critical balance between low latency and uncompromised accuracy. By harnessing quantum-inspired pruning, tensor decomposition, and annealing-based matrix factorization - three quantum-inspired concepts - we introduce QIANets: a novel approach of redesigning the traditional GoogLeNet, DenseNet, and ResNet-18 model architectures to process more parameters and computations whilst maintaining low inference times. Despite experimental limitations, the method was tested and evaluated, demonstrating reductions in inference times, along with effective accuracy preservations.

  Exploiting sparsity in the network's feature maps is one of the ways to reduce its inference latency. We propose a solution to induce semi-structured activation sparsity exploitable through minor runtime modifications. Our approach yields a speed improvement of $1.25 times$ with a minimal accuracy drop of $1.1%$ for the ResNet18 model on the ImageNet dataset.

  We show that quantum neural networks (QNNs) fail to provide any benefit over classical learning models. QNNs suffer from the severely limited effective model capacity, which incurs poor generalization on real-world datasets.

  quantization is the problem of distributing continuous real-valued numbers over a fixed discrete set of numbers to minimize the number of bits required. It has come to the forefront in recent years due to the remarkable performance of Neural Network models in computer vision, natural language processing, and related areas. Moving from floating-point representations to low-precision fixed integer values represented in four bits or less holds the potential to reduce the memory footprint and latency by a factor of 16x.

  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.
