Abstract
A system and method to reduce weight storage bits for a deep-learning network includes a quantizing module and a cluster-number reduction module. The quantizing module quantizes neural weights of each quantization layer of the deep-learning network. The cluster-number reduction module reduces the predetermined number of clusters for a layer having a clustering error that is a minimum of the clustering errors of the plurality of quantization layers. The quantizing module requantizes the layer based on the reduced predetermined number of clusters for the layer and the cluster-number reduction module further determines another layer having a clustering error that is a minimum of the clustering errors of the plurality of quantized layers and reduces the predetermined number of clusters for the another layer until a recognition performance of the deep-learning network has been reduced by a predetermined threshold.
