Training with adaptive runtime and precision profiling

Abstract:

A mechanism is described for facilitating efficient training of neural networks at computing devices. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes detecting one or more inputs for training of a neural network, and introducing randomness in floating point (FP) numbers to prevent overtraining of the neural network, where introducing randomness includes replacing less-significant low-order bits of operand and result values with new low-order bits during the training of the neural network.
