Abstract
An information processing method includes: inputting an input tensor indicating data to a processor having a memory; causing the processor to perform, after elements of the input tensor are subjected to precomputation for conversion into a power-of-two format and are stored in the memory, convolution operation processing with only addition and shift operations by using the precomputed elements of the input tensor stored in the memory and weight tensors that are pre-converted into the power-of-two format in accordance with a predetermined algorithm, that are stored in the memory, and that indicate weights having a possibility of being used for a convolution operation; and outputting, as an output tensor, the elements of the input tensor on which the convolution operation processing is performed.
