  • Publication number: 20230401420
    Abstract: A system receives a neural network model that includes asymmetric operations. Each asymmetric operation includes one or more fixed-point operands that are asymmetrically-quantized from corresponding floating-point operands. The system compiles a given asymmetric operation of the neural network model into a symmetric operation that includes a combined bias value. A compiler computes the combined bias value is a constant by merging at least zero points of input and output of the given asymmetric operation. The system then generates a symmetric neural network model including the symmetric operation for inference hardware to execute in fixed-point arithmetic.
