Mixed Precision Training Pdf Deep Learning Speech Recognition Using eagl and alps for layer precision selection, full precision accuracy is recovered with a mix of 4 bit and 2 bit layers for resnet 50, resnet 101 and bert base transformer networks, demonstrating enhanced performance across the entire accuracy throughput frontier. This article proposes a method called bbpso‐quantizer, which utilizes an enhanced bare‐bones particle swarm optimization algorithm, to address the challenging problem of mixed precision quantization of convolutional neural networks (cnns).
Efficient And Effective Methods For Mixed Precision Neural Network To address this, we propose a principal component analysis (pca) driven methodology to identify the important layers of a binary network, and design mixed precision networks. A detailed survey of current mixed precision frameworks is provided, with an in depth comparative analysis highlighting their respective merits and limitations. Based on this observation, a simple yet effective mixed precision quantized neural network with progressively decreasing bitwidth is proposed to improve the trade off between accuracy and compression. Here, we introduce accuracy aware layer precision selection (alps) and entropy approximation guided layer selection (eagl), two efficient and effective methods for choosing the bit width configuration for network layers.

A detailed survey of current mixed precision frameworks is provided, with an in depth comparative analysis highlighting their respective merits and limitations. To circumvent its diffi culties of discrete search space and combinatorial optimiza tion, a new differentiable search architecture is proposed, with several novel contributions to advance the efficiency by leveraging the unique properties of the mps problem. It is shown, for the first time, that both weights and activations can be quantized to 4 bits of precision while still achieving accuracy comparable to full precision networks across a range of popular models and datasets. In our work, we propose a simple practice to improve the energy efficiency of neural networks, i.e. training them with mixed precision and deploying them on edge tpu.
