Abstract
A method of generating a fixed-point type neural network by quantizing a floating-point type neural network, includes obtaining, by a device, a plurality of post-activation values by applying an activation function to a plurality of activation values that are received from a layer included in the floating-point type neural network, and deriving, by the device, a plurality of statistical characteristics for at least some of the plurality of post-activation values. The method further includes determining, by the device, a step size for the quantizing of the floating-point type neural network, based on the plurality of statistical characteristics, and determining, by the device, a final fraction length for the fixed-point type neural network, based on the step size.
