Typical deep convolutional architectures present an increasing number of feature maps as we go deeper in the network, whereas spatial resolution of inputs is decreased through downsampling operations. This means that most of the parameters…

Learning convolutional neural networks (CNNs) with low bitwidth is challenging because performance may drop significantly after quantization. Prior arts often discretize the network weights by carefully tuning hyper-parameters of…

One of the main drawbacks of the practical use of neural networks is the long time required in the training process. Such a training process consists of an iterative change of parameters trying to minimize a loss function. These changes are…
