Abstract
A method of constraining data represented in a deep neural network is described. The method includes determining an initial shifting specified to convert a fixed-point input value to a floating-point output value. The method also includes determining an additional shifting specified to constrain a dynamic range during converting of the fixed-point input value to the floating-point output value. The method further includes performing both the initial shifting and the additional shifting together to form a dynamic, range constrained, normalized floating-point output value.
