Method and apparatus for processing input data using layer contraction of neural network

摘要

A method and apparatus for processing input data using layer contraction of a neural network determines a reference sample among input samples to be processed by the neural network, performs an inference process for the reference sample, and an inference process For approximation of, the layer reduction parameters that define the relationship of affine transformation between the input layer and the output layer are determined, and the remaining series of inputs are obtained by using the affine transformation based on the determined layer reduction parameters for the reference sample. Perform inference on samples.
