  • METHOD AND ARCHITECTURE FOR ABSOLUTE AVERAGE DEVIATION POOLING FOR CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK ACCELERATORS
    Publication number: 20240152737
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and device for absolute average deviation (AAD) pooling for a convolutional neural network accelerator. AAD utilizes the spatial locality of pixels using vertical and horizontal deviations to achieve higher accuracy, lower area, and lower power consumption than mixed pooling without increasing the computational complexity. AAD achieves 98% accuracy with lower computational and hardware costs compared to mixed pooling, making it an ideal pooling mechanism for an IoT CNN accelerator.
