Smart Engines says new method boosts neural network efficiency by 40%

Scientists from the computer vision software company Smart Engines have announced they have found a way to improve the efficiency of neural networks by 40 percent. The method is based on a new quantization scheme.

Currently, deep neural networks are typically executed on specialized graphics cards, and often require more computing power than most devices have due to their increasing complexity. All user devices do, however, have a central processor, which is the world standard for 8-bit neural networks.
