Abstract
A method for an artificial neural network includes receiving an input. A quantization threshold is determined based on the input, or a characteristic or type of the input. Neural network values, such as weights or activations, of one or more layers of the artificial neural network are quantized according to the quantization threshold. The artificial neural network generates an output based on the quantized neural network values.
