Integer-only inference with affine quantization and simulated-quantization training

Contribution grade

Quantization-aware training and mobile inference · Human-designed research method or resource

Reference score150,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Co-designed affine scale/zero-point quantization, 8-bit weight/activation and 32-bit accumulation/bias arithmetic with floating-point fake-quantization training for efficient mobile inference.

Scientific scope

Co-designed affine scale/zero-point quantization, 8-bit weight/activation and 32-bit accumulation/bias arithmetic with floating-point fake-quantization training for efficient mobile inference. Integer-only refers to deployed inference, not all training or offline scale preparation. Inherits earlier low-precision/fixed-point inference; rounding, zero-point correction, fused-operator placement and hardware kernels matter. Evaluated mobile CNN latency/accuracy tradeoffs do not guarantee lossless quantization or speedups on arbitrary models/devices.
