Training

For Imagenet training, change the path of the validation set in .hocon file. To train the model described in the paper, run one of this command:

./run_cifar10_4bit.sh
./run_cifar100_4bit.sh
./run_imgnet_resnet18_4bit.sh
./run_imgnet_resnet50_4bit.sh
./run_imgnet_mobilenet_v2_4bit.sh

The script name is same for all experiment framework.

Major Arguments

• --conf_path : path to .hocon file
• --ce_scale : coefficient of Cross-Entropy loss
• --kd_scale : coefficient of KL-Divergence loss
• --passing_threshold : update ratio of quanized parameter per step
• --alpha_iter : GI search step limit
• --adalr : enable GI
