Abstract
In some implementations, the present disclosure relates to a method. The method includes obtaining a set of weights for a neural network comprising a plurality of nodes and a plurality of connections between the plurality of nodes. The method also includes identifying a first subset of weights and a second subset of weights based on the set of weights. The first subset of weights comprises weights that used by the neural network. The second subset of weights comprises weights that are prunable. The method further includes storing the first subset of weights in a first portion of a memory. A first error correction code is used for the first portion of the memory. The method further includes storing the second subset of weights in a second portion of the memory. A second error correction code is used for the second portion of the memory. The second error correction code is weaker than the first error correction code.
