Speaker: Prof. Sungjoo Woo,Seoul National University

Abstract:
Bit-width needs to be minimized for efficient neural network design in terms of chip area, code size, and, most importantly, energy efficiency. In this talk, we first review state-of-theart quantization methods in the industry and academia and introduce our ideas of outlier quantization and precision highway. We also briefly report the current work on a 4-bit linear weight/activation quantization of MobileNet v3.
