Abstract:
An embodiment of the present invention provides a quantization method for weights of a plurality of batch normalization layers, including: receiving a plurality of previously learned first weights of the plurality of batch normalization layers; obtaining first distribution information of the plurality of first weights; performing a first quantization on the plurality of first weights using the first distribution information to obtain a plurality of second weights; obtaining second distribution information of the plurality of second weights; and performing a second quantization on the plurality of second weights using the second distribution information to obtain a plurality of final weights, and thereby reducing an error that may occur when quantizing the weight of the batch normalization layer.
