Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus for performing a convolution operation in a convolutional neural network. The apparatus may comprise a selector for selecting one or more nonzero elements of a weight parameter, a selector for selecting a data item(s) corresponding to selected nonzero elements in input feature data, and a calculator unit for performing an operation. The apparatus may realize the convolution operation in a sparsified convolutional neural network efficiently through the hardware.
