LOOKUP-BASED CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORK

Systems and methods are disclosed for lookup-based convolutional neural networks. For example, methods may include applying a convolutional neural network to image data based on an image to obtain an output, in which a layer of the convolutional network includes filters with weights that are stored as a dictionary (D) of channel weight vectors, a respective lookup index tensor (I) that indexes the dictionary, and a respective lookup coefficient tensor (C), and in which applying the convolutional neural network includes: convolving the channel weight vectors of the dictionary (D) with an input tensor based on the image to obtain an input dictionary (S), and combining entries of the input dictionary (S) that are indexed with indices from the respective lookup index tensor (I) and multiplied with corresponding coefficients from the respective lookup coefficient tensor (C); and storing, displaying, or transmitting data based on the output of the convolutional neural network.
