We introduce a method to train Quantized Neural Networks (QNNs) --- neural networks with extremely low precision (e.g., 1-bit) weights and activations, at run-time. At train-time the quantized weights and activations are used for computing…

In standard neural network training, the gradients in the backward pass are determined by the forward pass. As a result, the two stages are coupled. This is how most neural networks are trained currently. However, gradient modification in…
