Abstract
According to one aspect, the disclosure proposes a method for updating an artificial neural network including initial weights stored in a memory at least in an integer format, which method includes: a processing unit determining the error gradients at the output of the layers of the neural network, the processing unit retrieving the initial weights from memory, the processing unit updating the initial weights comprising, for each initial weight, a first calculation of a corrected weight, in the integer format of this initial weight, the processing unit replacing the value of the initial weights stored in the memory by the value of the corrected weights.
