Abstract

A method of quantizing parameters of a neural network includes calculating, for each of the parameters, a bit shift value indicating a degree outside a bit range of a fixed-point format for quantizing the parameters, updating the fixed-point format based on the calculated bit shift values of the parameters, and quantizing parameters updated in a learning or inference process according to the updated fixed-point format.
