METHOD AND DEVICE FOR REDUCING A SIZE OF A NEURAL NETWORK MODEL

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for reducing a size of a neural network model, the method including: compressing data of the neural network model; identifying structure information of a vector register, wherein the structure information includes a number of registers included in the vector register; comparing a number of elements in the compressed data with a first condition, wherein the first condition is determined based on the number of registers in the vector register; and in response to the number of elements satisfying the first condition, associating the compressed data with the vector register to enable loading the compressed data to the vector register.
