Composite Binary Decomposition Network

Abstract:

Embodiments are directed to a composite binary decomposition network. An embodiment of a computer-readable storage medium includes executable computer program instructions for transforming a pre-trained first neural network into a binary neural network by processing layers of the first neural network in a composite binary decomposition process, where the first neural network having floating point values representing weights of various layers of the first neural network. The composite binary decomposition process includes a composite operation to expand real matrices or tensors into a plurality of binary matrices or tensors, and a decompose operation to decompose one or more binary matrices or tensors of the plurality of binary matrices or tensors into multiple lower rank binary matrices or tensors.
