    Abstract: Embodiments relate to converting functions or function call instructions of a first neural network (NN) model to graph modules. Relationships between inputs and outputs of the of graphing modules are analyzed and a second NN model in the form of a directed acyclic graph (DAG) using the graph modules corresponding to the first NN model. Markers are added to the graph modules in the second NN model. Calibration data is generated by collecting input values and output values of each of the graph modules by using the markers. A scale value and an offset value applicable to the second NN model is determined. Based on the scale value and the offset value, a third NN model including weight parameters quantized in the form of integers are generated and training is performed to update the weight parameters of the third NN model.

  • Publication number: 20250307627
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to converting functions or function call instructions of a first neural network (NN) model into graph module. The relationship between one or more inputs and one or more outputs of the graph modules are analyzed. A second neural network (NN) model in a form of a directed acyclic graph (DAG) including using the graph modules is generated by mapping inputs and outputs of the graph modules based on the relationship. Markers are added to the graph modules in the second NN model. First calibration data is generated by collecting input values and output values of each of the graph modules using the markers. An adjustment value for outlier alleviation for each of the graph modules is generated based on the first calibration data. For each graph module of the second NN model, an input parameter and a weight parameter are updated based on the adjustment value.
