Optimising Hardware Accelerated Neural Networks with Quantisation and a Knowledge Distillation Evolutionary Algorithm

This paper compares the latency, accuracy, training time and hardware costs of neural networks compressed with our new multi-objective evolutionary algorithm called NEMOKD, and with quantisation. We evaluate NEMOKD on Intel’s Movidius Myriad X VPU processor, and quantisation on Xilinx’s programmable...
