Abstract
The disclosure relates to technology for generating a compressed neural network. A weight tensor is received from a neural network to be compressed, and it is reordered to be compressed to have an inner two-dimensional (2D) shape and a 2D sparse bitmap. A layered structure is generated that represents the reordered weight tensor, and the reordered weight tensor is divided into a group of coefficients (GOCs). An encoding mode is selected to generate a quantized reordered weight tensor using one of a codebook or direct quantization, and a column swapped quantized reordered weigh tensor is generated. A compressed neural network is formed by encoding and the compressed representation of the neural network is transmitted to a target system for decompression.
