    Abstract: A method for training a generator, by a generator training system including a processor and memory, includes: extracting training statistical characteristics from a batch normalization layer of a pre-trained model, the training statistical characteristics including a training mean μ and a training variance σ2; initializing a generator configured with generator parameters; generating a batch of synthetic data using the generator; supplying the batch of synthetic data to the pre-trained model; measuring statistical characteristics of activations at the batch normalization layer and at the output of the pre-trained model in response to the batch of synthetic data, the statistical characteristics including a measured mean {circumflex over (μ)}ψ and a measured variance {circumflex over (σ)}ψ2; computing a training loss in accordance with a loss function Lψ based on μ, σ2, {circumflex over (μ)}ψ, and {circumflex over (σ)}ψ2; and iteratively updating the generator parameters in accordance with the training loss until a training completion condition is met to compute the generator.

    Abstract: An electronic device and method for performing class-incremental learning are provided. The method includes designating a pre-trained first model for at least one past data class as a first teacher; training a second model; designating the trained second model as a second teacher; performing dual-teacher information distillation by maximizing mutual information at intermediate layers of the first teacher and second teacher; and transferring the information to a combined student model.

    Abstract: A method is provided. The method includes selecting a neural network model, wherein the neural network model includes a plurality of layers, and wherein each of the plurality of layers includes weights and activations; modifying the neural network model by inserting a plurality of quantization layers within the neural network model; associating a cost function with the modified neural network model, wherein the cost function includes a first coefficient corresponding to a first regularization term, and wherein an initial value of the first coefficient is pre-defined; and training the modified neural network model to generate quantized weights for a layer by increasing the first coefficient until all weights are quantized and the first coefficient satisfies a pre-defined threshold, further including optimizing a weight scaling factor for the quantized weights and an activation scaling factor for quantized activations, and wherein the quantized weights are quantized using the optimized weight scaling factor.

    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods of manufacturing same, systems, and methods for performing network parameter quantization in deep neural networks are described. In one aspect, multi-dimensional vectors representing network parameters are constructed from a trained neural network model. The multi-dimensional vectors are quantized to obtain shared quantized vectors as cluster centers, which are fine-tuned. The fine-tuned and shared quantized vectors/cluster centers are then encoded. Decoding reverses the process.
