Abstract:The optimization of Binary Neural Networks (BNNs) relies on approximating the real-valued weights with their binarized representations. Current techniques for weight-updating use the same approaches as traditional Neural Networks (NNs) with the extra requirement of using an approximation to the derivative of the sign function - as it is the Dirac-Delta function - for back-propagation; thus, efforts are focused adapting full-precision techniques to work on BNNs. In the literature, only one previous effort has t… Show more
