    University of Stuttgart, Germany

    Master Thesis in Deep Learning

    Topic : Network Reduction of Deep Neural Networks (DNN)s during training with Quantization.

    • + Aim: Designing a new network reduction algorithm to reduce the memory and computational complexity of DNNs, while training.
    • + Datasets experimented with : MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, SVHN and CIFAR-10.
    • + Architectures used : VGG-16, LeNet, CNN - Dense Layer combinations.
    • + Motivation :Use of Integer precision arithmetic to reduce DNN complexity and later deploy and train it on embedded devices.
    • + Applications : Embedded Systems, Automotive and Medical domains - Possibility to train optimized networks on less expensive hardware on field.

    GPA : 1.0
