  • Patent number: 12190231
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods of manufacturing same, systems, and methods for performing network parameter quantization in deep neural networks are described. In one aspect, multi-dimensional vectors representing network parameters are constructed from a trained neural network model. The multi-dimensional vectors are quantized to obtain shared quantized vectors as cluster centers, which are fine-tuned. The fine-tuned and shared quantized vectors/cluster centers are then encoded. Decoding reverses the process.
