Abstract
According to one embodiment, an information processing method includes performing, in an intermediate layer of a deep neural network, a forward propagation using a first parameter and based on a first input value represented by a first bit number; performing quantization to produce a second input value represented by a second bit number smaller than the first bit number, and storing the produced second input value in the memory; calculating a second parameter based on a result of an operation using the second input value stored in the memory and a value obtained by the forward propagation, the second parameter being an update of the first parameter and for use in the learning process; and determining a condition for the quantization based on a gradient difference obtained in said calculating the second parameter.
