LOCA SERIES: "Mixed-Precision Quantization techniques for Energy-efficient DNN Inference"
Abstract:
In this project, we aimed to enhance the computational efficiency and deployment feasibility of neural networks through mixed precision quantization. We implemented two quantization-aware training (QAT) methods. Our results demonstrated significant reductions in model bit-width assignments while maintaining accuracy comparable to full-precision models.
