    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses of clipping a neural network and calculating a convolution of a neural network are provided. A method of clipping a neural network includes selecting a kernel slice of an input channel of a convolution layer in the neural network based on a convolution parameter of the convolution layer, determining a kernel slice similar to the selected kernel slice, determining a substitute slice for the selected kernel slice, based on the similar kernel slice, and clipping the selected kernel slice and replacing the clipped kernel slice by the substitute slice. The convolution parameter may include a number of input channels of the convolution layer, a number of output channels, and a width and a height of a filter of a convolution kernel of the convolution layer.
