Efficient Neural Network Implementation with Quadratic Neuron (2011.10813v1)

Abstract: Previous works proved that the combination of the linear neuron network with nonlinear activation functions (e.g. ReLu) can achieve nonlinear function approximation. However, simply widening or deepening the network structure will introduce some training problems. In this work, we are aiming to build a comprehensive second-order CNN implementation framework that includes neuron/network design and system deployment optimization.
