Abstract

In the paper, we present a quantization method for bipolar morphological neural networks. Bipolar morphological neural networks use only addition, subtraction, and maximum operations inside the neuron and exponent and logarithm as activation functions of the layers. These operations allow fast and compact gate implementation for FPGA and ASIC, which makes these networks a promising solution for embedded devices. Quantization allows us to reach an additional increase in computational efficiency and reduce the complexity of hardware implementation by using integer values of low bitwidth for computations. We propose an 8-bit quantization scheme based on integer maximum, addition, and lookup tables for non-linear functions and experimentally demonstrate that basic models for image classification can be quantized without noticeable accuracy loss. More advanced models still provide high recognition accuracy but would benefit from further fine-tuning.
