Abstract

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a weight precision configuration method, including: determining a pre-trained preset neural network including a plurality of layers each having a preset weight precision; reducing, based on a current threshold, the weight precision of at least one layer in the preset neural network to obtain a corrected neural network having a recognition rate greater than the current threshold; and reducing the weight precision of a layer includes: adjusting the weight precision of the layer; setting, if a termination condition is met, the weight precision of the layer to a corrected weight precision that is less than or equal to the preset weight precision of the layer; and returning, if the termination condition is not met, to the operation of adjusting the weight precision of the layer; and determining a final weight precision of each layer to obtain a final neural network.
