  • Publication number: 20240037376
    Abstract: A signal processing apparatus executes a convolution operation of predetermined layers constituting a neural network; and transfers first form data to be stored in a storage. The apparatus executes, on output data outputted from a convolution operation of a first layer among the predetermined layers, an arithmetic operation of a compression layer that is configured by a neural network and compresses data, and outputs the first form data to be transmitted to the storage. The apparatus further executes, on the first form data stored in the storage, an arithmetic operation of a restoration layer that is configured by a neural network and restores pre-compression data, and outputs input data to be inputted to a convolution operation of a second layer among the predetermined layers.
