REVIEW ON OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUES OF BINARY NEURAL NETWORKS

Annotation

The deployment of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) models on embedded systems faces multiple problems regarding computation power, power consumption and memory footprint. To solve these problems, a promising type of neural networks that uses 1-bit activations and weights emerged in 2016 called Binary Neural Networks (BNNs). BNN consumes less energy and computation power mainly because it replaces the complex heavy convolution operation with simple bitwise operations. However, the quantization from 32-float point to 1-bit leads to accuracy loss and poor performance, especially on large datasets. This article presents a review of the key optimization techniques which influenced the performance of BNNs and led to higher representation capacity of BNN models, as well as an overview of the application methods of BNNs in object detection tasks and compares the performance with the real value CNN.
