Deploying deep learning models on edge CPUs is bottlenecked by computational and memory constraints. Mixed-precision quantization promises to reduce inference latency while preserving accuracy. Howeve...
The paper introduces RAMP, a method for robust adaptive mixed‑precision quantization of vision models on edge CPUs. It evaluates 13 sensitivity metrics across four neural networks, finding that Jensen‑Shannon Divergence consistently identifies layers that can be safely quantized. Using K‑Means clustering on these metrics, RAMP achieves near‑lossless accuracy with an average 1.81× speed‑up, while cautioning against excluding low‑speed‑up layers that can fragment the computational graph.

Modern deep neural networks achieve strong performance, but their scale makes them costly and slow, especially on resource-constrained edge devices. Pruning and quantization address this, but rely on manual, expert choices and on algorithms that are hard to apply across architectures.
arXiv:2608. 07066v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Spiking neural networks (SNNs) enable sparse and event-driven computation, but their low-bit deployment remains incomplete because recurrent membrane states are commonly retained in floating point even after weight quantization.

The paper introduces an uncertainty‑driven training framework for 3D CT lung nodule classification that uses validation‑based uncertainty estimates to reweight the loss, aiming to improve predictive performance and probability calibration. Two uncertainty quantification methods—Monte Carlo Dropout and Evidential Deep Learning—are evaluated across multiple backbone architectures (ResNet, DenseNet, EfficientNet, ViT, Swin) on the LIDC‑IDRI and NoduleMNIST3D datasets. The approach yields comparable classification accuracy to conventional training while substantially reducing expected calibration error, especially on convolutional backbones, and shows that simple temperature scaling can also achieve strong calibration.

The paper introduces the Quantization Analysis Tool, a system built on the ONNX framework that streamlines quantization workflows for deep learning models. It offers layer‑wise sensitivity analysis, visualizations of weight and activation distributions, and guidance for selecting precision levels to balance model size, latency, and accuracy. Experiments on various neural network architectures show that the tool improves quantized accuracy and overall deployment efficiency.
