Abstract
The present invention relates to a neural network parameter optimization method and a neural network computation method and apparatus suitable for hardware implementation. The neural network parameter optimization method suitable for hardware implementation according to the present invention may include transforming an existing parameter of a neural network into a signed parameter and a magnitude parameter having a single value for each channel and generating an optimized parameter by pruning the transformed magnitude parameter. Accordingly, the present invention provides a neural network parameter optimization method and a neural network computation method and apparatus thereof, which optimize a large amount of computation and parameters of a convolutional neural network to be effective in hardware implementation, thereby achieving minimal accuracy loss and maximum computation speed.
