Abstract
The present disclosure describes methods, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for operating neural networks. For example, a first apparatus may receive a set of sparse weight vectors. The first apparatus may compress the set of sparse weight vectors to produce a compressed set of sparse weight vectors. The first apparatus may operate a neural network based on the compressed set of sparse weight vectors. In another example, a second apparatus may receive a set of sparse weight vectors. The second apparatus may perform a sparse computation based on the set of sparse weight vectors, and the performance of the sparse computation may produce one or more partial sums. The second apparatus may operate a neural network based at least in part on the one or more partial sums.
