Neural network models are resource hungry. It is difficult to deploy such deep networks on devices with limited resources, like smart wearables, cellphones, drones, and autonomous vehicles. Low bit quantization such as binary and ternary…

Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) have shown excellent performance in processing sequence data. However, they are both complex and memory intensive due to their recursive nature. These limitations make RNNs difficult to embed on mobile…

Binary neural networks (BNNs), where both weights and activations are binarized into 1 bit, have been widely studied in recent years due to its great benefit of highly accelerated computation and substantially reduced memory footprint that…

BitNet b1.58 (Ma et al., 2024) demonstrates that large language models can operate entirely on ternary weights {-1, 0, +1}, yet no native binary wire format exists for such models. NativeTernary closes this gap. Benchmarked against GGUF on…

Deep generative models provide a powerful set of tools to understand real-world data. But as these models improve, they increase in size and complexity, so their computational cost in memory and execution time grows. Using binary weights in…

Ternary Neural Networks (TNNs) have received much attention due to being potentially orders of magnitude faster in inference, as well as more power efficient, than full-precision counterparts. However, 2 bits are required to encode the…

Neural network acoustic models have significantly advanced state of the art speech recognition over the past few years. However, they are usually computationally expensive due to the large number of matrix-vector multiplications and…

Binary neural networks have attracted tremendous attention due to the efficiency for deploying them on mobile devices. Since the weak expression ability of binary weights and features, their accuracy is usually much lower than that of…

This paper is on improving the training of binary neural networks in which both activations and weights are binary. While prior methods for neural network binarization binarize each filter independently, we propose to instead parametrize…
