Abstract
A computer-implemented method comprising: processing data in a neural network to compute a network tensor comprising a plurality of tensor elements represented in an initial numerical format; computing a histogram of tensor elements; selecting a target numerical format, the target numerical format having a lower precision than the initial numerical format; evaluating a metric based on the histogram of tensor elements and the target numerical format, the metric indicating a degree of accuracy of a representation of the network tensor in the target numerical format; and based on the evaluated metric, converting the plurality of tensor elements from the initial numerical format to the target numerical format.
