Abstract
A processor-implemented data processing method includes encoding a plurality of weights of a filter of a neural network using an inverted two's complement fixed-point format; generating weight data based on values of the encoded weights corresponding to same filter positions of a plurality of filters; and performing an operation on the weight data and input activation data using a bit-serial scheme to control when to perform an activation function with respect to the weight data and input activation data.
