Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a system and method of performing quantization of a neural network having multiple layers. The method comprises receiving a floating-point dataset as input dataset and determining a first shift constant for first layer of the neural network based on the input dataset. The method also comprises performing quantization for the first layer using the determined shift constant of the first layer. The method further comprises determining a next shift constant for next layer of the neural network based on output of a layer previous to the next layer, and performing quantization for the next layer using the determined next shift constant. The method further comprises iterating the steps of determining shift constant and performing quantization for all layers of the neural network to generate fixed point dataset as output.
