Abstract
A method for performing efficient mixed-precision search for an artificial neural network (ANN) includes training the ANN by sampling selected candidate quantizers of a bank of candidate quantizer and updating network parameters for a next iteration based on outputs of layers of the ANN. The outputs are computed by processing quantized data with operators (e.g., convolution). The quantizers converge to optimal bit-widths that reduce classification losses bounded by complexity constrains.
