Modern DNNs depend on energy-hungry GPUs and full-precision arithmetic. The authors propose Binarized Neural Networks (BNNs), in which weights and hidden activations take only the values +1 or −1. These binary values are used both at inference… 2. **[BinaryConnect: Training Deep Neural Networks with binary weights during propagations](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/courbariaux-2015-binaryconnect-training-deep-neural-networks/)** *(2015 · 1,885 citations)* Multipliers are the most area- and energy-hungry parts of digital neural network hardware. This paper asks whether a deep network can be trained while its weights take only two values (+1 or −1) during computation, so that most multiply-accumulate operations become additions and subtractions. BinaryConnect binarizes… 3. **[Quantized Neural Networks: Training Neural Networks with Low Precision Weights and Activations](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/hubara-2016-quantized-neural-networks-training-neural/)** *(2016 · 1,610 citations)* The paper tackles the high cost of running deep networks, whose many multiply-accumulate operations make them slow and power-hungry on ordinary hardware and low-power devices. ## Co-authors here 4 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Yoshua Bengio](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yoshua-bengio/) ×3 - [Daniel Soudry](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/daniel-soudry/) ×2 - [Itay Hubara](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/itay-hubara/) ×2 - [Ran El-Yaniv](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ran-el-yaniv/) ×2 ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 392 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [28 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/matthieu-courbariaux/cited-by/).
