Abstract: The present application relates to the field of neural networks, in particular Binary Neural Networks (BNN). The application proposes a device and method for regularization of a BNN. The device is configured to obtain binary weights of the BNN, and to change the binary weights of the BNN using a backpropagation method. Thereby, changing the binary weights increases or minimizes decrease of an information entropy of a weight distribution.
