Determining fl value by using weighted quantization loss values to thereby quantize cnn parameters and feature values to be used for optimizing hardware applicable to mobile devices or compact networks with high precision

Abstract

There is provided a method for determining an FL value to be used for optimizing hardware applicable to mobile devices, compact networks, and the like with high precision. The method includes steps of: a computing device (a) applying quantization operations to original values included in an original vector by referring to a BW value and each of FL candidate values, to thereby generate each of quantized vectors, including the quantized values, corresponding to each of the FL candidate values; (b) generating each of weighted quantization loss values, corresponding to each of the FL candidate values, by applying weighted quantization loss operations to information on each of differences between the original values and the quantized values included in each of the quantized vectors; and (c) determining the FL value among the FL candidate values by referring to the weighted quantization loss values and a device using the same.
