Abstract
Selective performance of deterministic computations for neural networks is disclosed, including: obtaining a statistical model for a selection layer of the neural network, the statistical model indicating probabilities that corresponding values are selected by the selection layer, the statistical model being generated using historical data; selectively performing a subset of a plurality of deterministic computations on new input data to the neural network, the plurality of deterministic computations being associated with the deterministic computation layer, the selective performance of the deterministic computations being based at least in part on the statistical model and generating a computation result; and outputting the computation result to another layer in the neural network.
