    Publication number: 20230351189
    Abstract: In a method of training a binarized neural network (BNN), a binarized weight set is generated by applying a clipping function to a weight set. Output data is generated by sequentially performing a forward computation on the binarized neural network based on input data and the binarized weight set. A gradient of the weight set is generated by sequentially performing a backward computation on the binarized neural network based on loss calculated from the output data. The binarized neural network is trained by updating the weight set based on the gradient of the weight set and changing a range of the clipping function.
