Abstract
An apparatus includes a preprocessing network and a quantized neural network. The preprocessing network may be configured to (a) receive an input, (b) perform a transform operation on the input, and (c) generate an intermediate result in response to the transform operation. The quantized neural network may be configured to (a) receive the intermediate result, (b) perform a plurality of weighted operations on the intermediate result, and (c) generate an output in response to the weighted operations. The quantized neural network is generally adapted to a hardware constraint of an edge device. The weighted operations generally have a quantization loss corresponding to the hardware constraint. The transform operation performed by the preprocessing network is generally configured to provide compensation for the quantization loss.
