Abstract: A method for performing layer-level quantization may include (1) performing an inference of an activation layer of a neural network, (2) storing a first limit value of the activation layer in a data storage system, (3) storing a second limit value of the activation layer in the data storage system, (4) determining a scaling factor based on the first and second limit values, and then (5) applying the scaling factor on a subsequent inference. Various other methods, systems, and devices are also disclosed.
