Abstract
A convolutional neural network includes a front layer, a back layer, and a plurality of other layers that are connected between the front layer and the back layer. One of the other layers is a transition layer. A first precision is assigned to activations of neurons from the front layer back to the transition layer and a second precision is assigned to activations of the neurons from the transition layer back to the back layer. A third precision is assigned to weights of inputs to neurons from the front layer back to the transition layer and a fourth precision is assigned to weights of inputs to the neurons from the transition layer back to the back layer. In some embodiments the layers forward of the transition layer have a different convolutional kernel than the layers rearward of the transition layer.
