Abstract
An encoder for encoding weight parameters of a neural network is configured to obtain a plurality of weight parameters of the neural network, to encode the weight parameters of the neural network using a context-dependent arithmetic coding, to select a context for an encoding of a weight parameter, or for an encoding of a syntax element of a number representation of the weight parameter, in dependence on one or more previously encoded weight parameters and/or in dependence on one or more previously encoded syntax elements of a number representation of one or more weight parameters, and to encode the weight parameter, or a syntax element of the weight parameter, using the selected context. Corresponding decoder, quantizer, methods and computer programs are also described.
