  • Patent number: 12136026
    Abstract: A compact neural network system can generate multiple individual filters from a compound filter. Each convolutional layer of a convolutional neural network can include a compound filters used to generate individual filters for that layer. The individual filters overlap in the compound filter and can be extracted using a sampling operation. The extracted individual filters can share weights with nearby filters thereby reducing the overall size of the convolutional neural network.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 12008467
    Abstract: Presented herein are embodiments of an improved asymmetric quantization, which may generally be referred to as improved asymmetric quantization (IAQ) embodiments. IAQ embodiments combine the benefits of conventional asymmetric quantization and symmetric quantization but also provide additional computation efficiencies. Embodiments of IAQ adopt an asymmetric range of the weights of a neural network layer, so they circumvent the limitation of symmetric range of symmetric quantization. Moreover, the inference process of a neural network quantized by an IAQ embodiment is much faster than that of the neural network quantized by conventional asymmetric quantization by quantizing an offset value of each layer.
