Abstract
The present disclosure provides methods and systems for using variable length representations of machine learning statistics. A method may include storing an n-bit representation of a first statistic at a first n-bit storage cell. A first update to the first statistic may be received, and it may be determined that the first update causes a first loss of precision of the first statistic as stored in the first n-bit storage cell. Accordingly, an m-bit representation of the first statistic may be stored at a first m-bit storage cell based on the determination. The first m-bit storage cell may be associated with the first n-bit storage cell. As a result, upon receiving an instruction to use the first statistic in a calculation, a combination of the n-bit representation and the m-bit representation may be used to perform the calculation.
