Abstract
A method for quantizing a neural network includes modeling noise of parameters of the neural network. The method also includes assigning grid values to each realization of the parameters according to a concrete distribution that depends on a local fixed-point quantization grid and the modeled noise and. The method further includes computing a fixed-point value representing parameters of a hard fixed-point quantized neural network.
