ZOBNN: Zero-Overhead Dependable Design of Binary Neural Networks with Deliberately Quantized Parameters

no code implementations6 Jul 2024 Behnam Ghavami, Mohammad Shahidzadeh, Lesley Shannon, Steve Wilton

Despite the inclusion of floating-point parameters in BNN architectures to improve accuracy, our findings reveal that BNNs are highly sensitive to deviations in these parameters caused by memory faults.
