The paper presents a PyTorch-based framework for designing and optimizing binarized neural networks, incorporating freezing and pruning mechanisms. It introduces a novel pruning method that uses a global weighting scheme to assess parameter importance across abstraction levels, achieving a 70% pruning rate on VGG11 without sacrificing accuracy—outperforming existing binarized pruning results of 41%. The framework facilitates rapid, reproducible evaluation and prototyping of state‑of‑the‑art binarized network techniques.

arXiv:2606. 04317v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep neural networks are increasingly deployed across heterogeneous and partially untrusted environments, where models are distributed through cloud storage, CI/CD pipelines, containerized services, and edge execution platforms.
The paper introduces REQAP, a reliability‑aware quantized weight packing technique for systolic‑array DNN accelerators. It uses a sensitivity‑driven mixed‑precision quantization to assign layer‑wise bit‑widths, a deterministic register‑level packing strategy for SIMD‑within‑a‑register execution, and selective bit‑level protection that replicates critical MSBs into unused register space. Experiments on AlexNet, VGG‑11, and ResNet‑18 show up to 62% memory reduction, 56% fewer MAC operations, and improved accuracy resilience under fault injection compared to baseline and fully protected models.

The paper investigates why per-layer pruning of IoT intrusion detectors can cause severe class-level failures. On the CICIoT2023 dataset, a two-layer convolutional detector pruned at 80% sparsity loses 16 accuracy points and half its macro‑F1, with 17 of 34 classes heavily damaged. The failure is traced to the first layer’s weight starvation, and the authors show that protecting those 192 weights or pruning globally, as well as recomputing normalization statistics, can prevent or repair the collapse.
