We present a novel optimization strategy for training neural networks which we call "BitNet". The parameters of neural networks are usually unconstrained and have a dynamic range dispersed over all real values. Our key idea is to limit the…

Recent work has suggested that the generalisation performance of a DNN is related to the extent to which the Signal-to-Noise Ratio is optimised at each of the nodes. In contrast, Gradient Descent methods do not always lead to SNR-optimal…
