## Abstract

INT8 quantization has become one of the standard techniques for deploying convolutional neural networks (CNNs) on edge devices to reduce the memory and computational resource usages. By analyzing quantized performances of existing mobile-target network architectures, we can raise an issue regarding the importance of network architecture for optimal INT8 quantization. In this paper, we present a new network architecture search (NAS) procedure to find a network that guarantees both full-precision (FLOAT32) and quantized (INT8) performances. We first propose critical but straightforward optimization method which enables quantization-aware training (QAT) : floating-point statistic assisting (StatAssist) and stochastic gradient boosting (GradBoost). By integrating the gradient-based NAS with StatAssist and GradBoost, we discovered a quantization-efficient network building block, Frost bottleneck. Furthermore, we used Frost bottleneck as the building block for hardware-aware NAS to obtain quantization-efficient networks, FrostNets, which show improved quantization performances compared to other mobile-target networks while maintaining competitive FLOAT32 performance. Our FrostNets achieve higher recognition accuracy than existing CNNs with comparable latency when quantized, due to higher latency reduction rate (average 65%).

## Getting Started

### Training your own FrostNet
We trained FrostNets with one of the popular imagenet classification code, rwightman's [pytorch-image-models](https://github.com/rwightman/pytorch-image-models) for more efficient training. After including FrostNet's model file into the training code, one can train FrostNets with the command line in [training_confs](./training_commands.txt).

### Post quantization examples
We also provide post-quantization supported version of rwightman's pytorch-image-models in [quanitzation-pytorch-image-models](https://github.com/tgisaturday/pytorch-image-models) for easier post-quantization with PyTorch.

### Training object detection models with FrostNet backbones
We trained FrostNets with one of the popular object detection project, [mmdetection](https://github.com/rwightman/pytorch-image-models) for more efficient training. Include [frostnet_features.py](./frostnet_features.py) to mmdetection codes to train models.
