  • Power Efficient Hybrid Architecture for High Resolution Analog-to-Digital Converters

    Creator:
    Zhang, Hui
    Abstract:
    Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are the key building block for sensor applications, such as wireless communications and digital electronics. These applications require ADCs to have medium to high accuracy (normally from 10-14 bits) and relatively low signal bandwidth (ranging from 100Hz-150kHz). Since these applications are often powered by batteries, high power...

  • Partitioning-Guided K-Means for Effective Empty Cluster Resolution in Extreme Model Compression

    Creator:
    Huang, Tianhong
    Abstract:
    Compactness in deep learning can be critical to a model’s viability in low-resource applications, and a common approach to extreme model compression is quantization. We consider Iterative Product Quantization (iPQ) with Quant-Noise [Fan et al., 2020] to be state-of-the-art in this area, but this quantization framework suffers from preventable inference...
