Abstract:Light binary convolutional neural networks (LB-CNN) are particularly useful when implemented in low-energy computing platforms as required in many industrial applications. Herein, a framework for optimizing compact LB-CNN is introduced and its effectiveness is evaluated. The framework is freely available and may run on free-access cloud platforms, thus requiring no major investments. The optimized model is saved in the standardized .h5 format and can be used as input to specialized tools for further deployment… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
